Biggest disappointment was 2 different Honda dealerships claimed they never heard of this problem when I read many complaints on car forums. Tried rebalancing wheels, checked driveshaft, checked halfshafts. Decided to drive it until something showed up. Vehicle over the years would occasionally develop a squealing in the rear. Caused by small stone lodged between brake rotor and splash shield. Remove stone to fix noise. This time grinding noise in rear. Removed rear wheels and discovered inside pad on left rear seized up on caliper causing the outer pad to work harder. Outer pad worn to noise indicator. Cleaned everything and installed new ceramic pads. Could not get vibration to show up on a hundred mile trip today. Happy-Happy-Happy!! Plan on driving vehicle till it has 300,000 miles
Update from Jun 4, 2016: Celebrated too soon. Vibration came back. Will keep researching until problem solved.
