Our 2019 Discovery has a really annoying vibration - mainly felt through the steering, but I can just about feel it more generally. It starts to be noticable at about 73mph on the clock and by 80 mph it is unnoticable amongst the general road vibrations. It has been back to the dealers several times and they accept that it is there but they dont seem to be able to fix it - the wheels have been rebalanced several times and they have visually inspected all the wheels and tyres and the drivetrain. They are telling me now to wait until it gets worse and then it might be more obvious what is is - but it is really annoying on a long motorway drive, and that is most of the driving we do!

The symptoms are:
  • It starts to be noticable at 73 mph and by 80 mph you cannot feel it.
  • It seems to be a little worse downhill and a little better uphill.
  • It gets less noticable when turning a corner.
  • Anecdotally it is worse when the weather is hot and the vehicle has been driven a while.
Has anyone else experienced anything similar and, if so, what was the fix?

Thanks,

Bruce
