SO, I bought this Atlas in January of 2020. Was super excited about this purchase, until the vibration issue started. Didn't seem like a normal balance and alignment issue from my experience. When driving over 60 mph is when i noticed this issue would start. Brought it to the dealer to have it looked at. They did a road force balancing, which seems like a more complex way of an alignment. It reduces the vibration, but did not fix the issue. I have read from other forums, that this is an on going issue with other years' Atlases.
Currently my Atlas is at the dealer again, trying to resolve this issue. Mind you, this is the one of the issues i have had with this vehicle. I have had start/stop issue with. When at a stop it did not engage to start, which had me putting the car in park, before starting the vehicle again. This happened more than twice. I have also had sunshade issues, which won't shut, and has ruined the upper upholstery, which is now being looked at, for replacement. This has been a disastrous purchase!

Occasionally, at certain random times, the suspension/wheel/axle projects vibration. Took the dealer three times and they "checked" and determined nothing is wrong. In the meantime, the issues keeps getting worse and I am worried my wheel will fall off or I will get caught on the side of the road at some point.
