2018 Build MX - Vibration Problem

[LoveMX]

Has anyone been having vibration problems with your MX? Mine is more and more prominent now. Every time I get the vibration (happens mostly on turns - even the slightest of turns, hard u-turns, etc.), I know that something is not right. It's like I can just 'feel' the car shake through the steering wheel and it's hating it! SC brushed this aside saying it's because of lane departure warning, which doesn't make any sense.

Anyone else having this problem, what do you think it is?

and I only have about 480 miles on it so far and I have noticed this since the delivery day.

Did you try turning off lane departure warning and seeing if it still happens?

Looks like you have acceleration shudder issue. Search the forum with keyword "acceleration shudder" and you'll see a bunch of posts on this topic.

As above, it would be extremely easy to rule out LDW by simply switching if off!

Do you know what the Lane Departure Warning feels like? If not try it.

It truly is described exactly as you describe your issue. It would show up on curves, because a lot of people infringe on the lines during a curve.

Too soon, not enough mileage to get wear.

Acceleration shudder, as its name implies, happens during (hard) acceleration. It is not felt through the steering wheel but more like front/bottom of the car. OP is feeling it through curves on the steering wheel which is exactly what lane departure warning feels like.

People have mistaken LDW for a vibration problem before. That would be my first guess also, especially through turns.

The LDW could use a change. I was in the same place when my x was new. I would have never identified the vibration as a lane departure warning. It laterally feels like there is a problem with the suspension as the OP described. I haven't used it since. On a side note about a year later I turned it back on and found myself for days wondering what the heck is wrong with my suspension. Duh! That is how deceptive the warning is.

probably lane departure warning. try using your turn signals or turning it off and see if its still there, then you'll know for sure.

I noticed this too and it is the LDW. Turn it off and see if you notice it. If you still do then it is probably something to do with the shudder. My car also had a really hard vibration or more like a shake when I accelerated on the freeway once, hasn't shown up again though.

I’ve always hated LDW so it’s off on all my cars including the X from day 1.

 

[DoctorVenkman]

I'm guessing the lack of a response means it was LDW...

 

[mal_tsla]

LDW implémentation in Teslas is pretty bad. It's been off in our X since the first few times it activated erroneously.

 

[LoveMX]

Thanks ya'll, no lane departure = no vibration!

 

[Peteski]

Thanks ya'll, no lane departure = no vibration!

So for once the SC was correct, lol!

 

[HandleX]

Yup, I turned off Lane Departure Warning after I would feel it occasionally on freeway on ramps. Made me think I might have shudder, but haven't felt it since.

LDW ...
another great feature - on the AP1 cars only. (sigh) Just like local street/Boulevard autopilot lane changes used to be. Yet, likely another feature we presumably thought would be even more improved - but no. Maybe even never to be reavticated?
