Default Front passanger vibration

Does anyone get excessive vibration coming from the top of the glove box panel and also from the passenger seat? I took it to the dealer because it was making a vibration noise, but they fixed the noise, but the vibration continues. Any idea what it might be?

Did they try to fix the vibration? If so, what did they do?

Can you be more specific? IS is at a certain speed? On the highway or at idle? Does it comes and goes? This is likely a tire/wheel balancing issue that will cause the passenger seat to vibrate a bit. I can feel it in my seat if there is 1 tire out of balance or defective.

Sorry, you're right I should of been more specific. It's an issue when the car is stopped, but NOT on park. Right side of the dash and passenger seat vibrate way more than the usual, but I don't feel it at all on the driver side. I find it really strange. The noise is completely gone, the dealer fixed that, but the vibration continues. Dealer said that vibration was normal, but for some reason I don't find it to be normal.

You are right. I find that odd and would be very concern if that is happening to my car. What is the idling RPM of the engine? Is it running higher then normal? IF so then you may have faulty idling speed and it needs to be adjusted by dealer. This will cause vibration at idle. It has occurred on my previous cars.

I thought from the title of your thread that your front passenger was vibrating and I got a little scared after all the shows I've been watching on ScyFi.

My passenger seat vibrated a bit and it caused the seatbelt to rattle. I fastened the seatbelt even when there was no one in the seat and that pretty much fixed it. Not the optimal solution, but at least it took care of it.
