This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Nissan dealer.
After picking the new car up from the dealer, I noticed it had a vibration that started at about 40 MPH. I figured that the wheels may need to be balanced and I was going to be bring the car in for some aftermarket additions to the car in a week or so, so I did not return to the dealer. I've since brought the car back 5 different times to 2 different dealers as well as the regional service representative and the problem has not been corrected. All of the service people recognize that there is, in fact, this vibration, but they cannot seem to correct it. They have tried to fix it by "cutting" the front rotors once, installing 3 new tires, rebalanced all of the tires 4 times, and guess what, the vibration is still there. They have told me more than once that it's just how the car is due to the CVT transmission. I don't care is the problem is the tires, the wheels, the transmission, the motor mounts or anything else. the car has a problem that Nissan can't seem to be able to correct. I will be pursuing the lemon law for this vehicle.

It seems I have had a continued issue with my Nissan Altima having a vibration at anything over 60MPH. It seems to get worse when acceleration to over 80MPH. The issue seems to feedback differently depending on the type of road I'm driving on as well. It seems when at its worst you can see a vibration shocking through the center counsel (where the shifter is at) shaking any drinks you might have in the car. At the same time the vibration is most felt in the steering. After having the tires replaced with premium grade Cooper touring tires, the wheels rebalanced twice on a Road Force balance system, the tie rods inspected, and the wheels rotated several times... the issue still persists. If you have any suggestions for a fix, please let me know!
