Well, that may be because you keep going back to the SoDo hack center, for more SC induced damage.My bolster fell off of my passenger rear seat last week. So that was fun!

Please keep us current on your car and attempted vibration repair.Yeah, the Bellevue team is great. My address is actually under the Lynnwood SC zone but I don't want to deal with them anymore. I was supposed to drop the car last Thursday but they texted me there are no loaners available. Decided to push back the SC appointment to December, maybe something else will fall off from the car
Crap! That’s not what I wanted to hear! So far, hasn’t returned for me but expect it to now.
Oh dang… so sorry. Tbh I start getting tired of this car, mine is not that problematic but always I’m getting behind the yoke and start driving I’m think of something that can get broken…My bolster fell off of my passenger rear seat last week. So that was fun!

It’s like Smart Summon, a not so cheap, parlor trick. Will be gone before the warranty expires, that’s for sure.
How was your driving? Hard acceleration, especially in turns should exacerbate the problem.
I think they are trying to harden the CV joints with every subsequent revision but I doubt that will help. They need to redesign the entire front of the car to straighten the shafts - which would be very, very expensive. I was hoping they would do that with the refresh but, apparently, they did not.

Very mild driving since purchase, really. Sure, I floored it numerous times, but always straight line. No 1/4 runs, track, etc.
Is there any evidence of the vibration issue in later VINs or are data points limited to 1H21 deliveries? If this is a design issue, it’s best that you prepare yourself for a lemon law claim to exit the vehicle and hopefully get a fresh one if you’re not completely soured on the experience.

Team TMC: I plan to take the vibration matter to social media (Twitter), in attempts to get some influencers to shed light on this issue. Will post tweets here in hopes those afflicted with the same issue will like it reply/retweet. Should have something started by the end of the day. Thanks for your support!

Question to group: Any LR owners out there with the vibration issue, or is this limited to Plaid models?
LR here and I notice it now as well. I feel like when I first got car I didn't have it, but it's definitely clear now with slight throttle around 40s

Picked up from service today. They acknowledged and documented (again) the issue. They stated it is a known issue and waiting for an Engineering fix.

@Hayseed_MS And that’s it?! “Yep, it vibrates. We are clueless. Like the airbag failure to deploy recall email, just go ahead and keep driving it until we reach out in 2-3 months…” Really?!
@WilliamG
I think I got bad news about this vibrating issue. I don't know if I have overread this thread but... I think this issue got a wider speed window. I was able to notice it an hour ago as low at 38mph. Also, I think I got some vibrations at high speed, like 70ish...
I hope it's related to tires and 45F is way too cold for MPS4S. Need to install my winter Alpins with 19" wheels already. Or maybe I just did not drive the car for 4 days and forgot already how it feels. IDK.

When you put it like that - their response does sound bad
Actually they understand and are actually pretty good - as far as any service team I have worked with at other dealers. They just want to make it work and not throw parts at it.
