While driving between 40-60 mph vibration from the frame. Suspension vibration or frame beaming. It is as if there is a flat tire, the car wobbles. Very eerie feeling to be driving and this to happen. A new set of tires have been placed on front. Complained to GM, no recall but would be notified if there was. Taken to dealers who recognized this was the problem but did not do anything about.
