Steering wheel vibrations

[demis32]

Good evening. I have an issue and I’m asking if anyone from the group who has had a similar experience could help, because I’m having difficulty finding a solution. I have the MG4 Luxury 77 kWh version, and since the vehicle was brand new it has been showing a vibration in the steering wheel at speeds over 100 km/h. As the speed increases, the vibration also increases, to the point where it feels like I can feel the road through the steering wheel.

The vehicle has covered 13,000 km. Additionally, the wheels have been balanced three times, and I have also swapped the front and rear tires, with no difference. I should mention that the factory-fitted Bridgestone Turanza T005 EV tires are installed. Could these be the cause, or is it something mechanical? The dealer who checked it says that this is normal, but I find it unthinkable for such a vehicle to shake the steering wheel like this.

... although the MG4 XPower did have vibration issues, not heard of issues with the normal MG4 (in our case 70000km todate), vibration on a small scale is usually wheel weights, but @case dismissed did have a major issue with dodgy wobbling drive shafts.

My 4 Trophy has the vibration that starts around 65 mph. Definitely does not feel like a wheel balance issue, and persisted across the wheels being swapped front rear when I had two new tyres fitted.

There is another thread somewhere where other non-XP owners also reported it. Nowhere near as bad as the XP reports, but it's there and slightly annoying once your become aware off it.

Come to think of it, in the early days (1st year) I did get some form of vibration around 65mph (on a SE model), but have either got used to it, or just dont notice it these days, but for the last 30000 miles it hasn't been an issue.

If you have speed sign recognition turned on and an upper speed warning turned on, the car it telling you to pay attention, you are speeding, I had the same thing happen to me the first time I was driving on the freeway. I was about the chuck a spaz attack, brand new car with wheels out of balance, looked down at the speedo and I was travelling at 130km/h in 110 zone, as soon as I eased off the vibration vanished
Sometimes the car is just too clever by half, other times, a big truck coming the other way will scare it ..... every car I ever owned has had it's own little quirks

A vibration due to an imbalance in the tyres would come on at a certain speed but fade again when accelerating, so if it just gets stronger and stronger it won’t be fixed by balancing.

I’m pretty sure there is a setting for vibration feedback (on/off) in, I think, the MG Pilot setting page. But surely that vibration wouldn’t be so excessive?
