Hello! 50,000 miles. New to the car. Vibration felt in my seat/ steering wheel. Essentially everywhere. Starts at 40mph and through 80+. Wheels and tire check ok. Dealer took wheels off new explorer and swapped with mine. No difference. Dealer is scratching their heads. Thoughts???

Well if it's vibrating at speed and the wheels/tires have been eliminated I'd look at the axles.

i tend to agree. What’s so troubling is the dealer couldn’t suggest that?? Ugh! They sent a request in to a Ford “hotline”. Whatever that is.... thanks.

Also bearings can cause some issues like that. Forgot to mention that, does it go away if you are on a long banking turn at speed? Sometimes that will put just enough pressure laterally for it to go away.

The vibration / shake is consistent wether turning right or left. I notice it just before 40mph on up ....with tranny in neutral or in gear...no matter what mode.

It has to be something like an axle or brakes.

I have the same kind of issue when cruising between 40 and 60 mph. It feels like a misfire and you can see the rpm fluctuate. If i downshift, and stay at same speed, it goes away. It’s good at all other speeds. Spark plugs and coils changed but didn’t help. Is this a transmission actuator problem? Any suggestions?
