One day I turned on my AC and noticed my steering wheel was vibrating off and on. At first I thought maybe it was the haptic feedback for the rear cross traffic alert system acting up, so I turned off the haptic feedback and it was still happening. Then I noticed the pattern of it vibrating every time the AC compressor kicked on so I turned the AC off and the vibration immediately quit. My coworkers think it's a sign that the compressor is seizing up but idk. It does bug me but it's a lease and my dealer is 21.5 miles away and I don't like taking off from work early so they have time to fix my car before they close. If it gets worse or stops working completely, then I'll for sure do something. For now I'm just dealing until it's time to trade it in.
