This car has had a shimmy in the teering wheel that is felt between 50-55 mph. The alignment has been checked, tires inspected and balanced, rotors turned. All have failed to fix the problem. The selling dealer had also replaced the front brake calipers in an attempt to solve the problem. In addition, the problem has an intermittent element to it. Sometimes the car drives fine for a short while, and then it starts shaking again.
