Hello,
I just purchased a 2016.5 GT AWD... After driving 4 different CX5 on test drives i noticed all seem to have a shimmy or vibration at higher rates of speed especially under acceleration. anything past 65 or 70mph it's very noticeable when on the gas....once you let off the gas the shimmy isn't really present as much...you can even see the passenger seat shaking a little. Most of these cars have great tires to new tires and some had just been balanced. Is this a common thing on CX5's?? would a high speed tire balance be beneficial. FYI, after my first car (1986 626 Turbo coupe) this CX5 is amazing overall. thanks for you input and advise.
