I had the same problem in November at around 8000 miles, vibration and low-pitched "growling" noise under heavy acceleration. The service center replaced both front halfshafts, but noted that the vibration was still present and escalated the matter to engineering. The vibration was much better, almost completely eliminated after the halfshafts were replaced, but now after about 2000 miles / 2 months it has gotten progressively worse and is about back to where it was prior to the halfshafts being replaced.
The first time I noticed the problem I had the original Michelin tires on T-Sportline 20" turbine wheels, this time I'm seeing it with the factory 20" wheels with Pirelli all-season tires, so I'm guessing that it's not related to the wheels or tires.
