Fellow club members, I finally fixed the vibration issue by having the wheels balanced again by the dealer.

Guessing you came across this in your search.

i think you guys should check for both the wheel balance and the bearing for each wheel.

i have the same symptom for my Camry 3.5Q, it's gone after i replace the 2 bearing for front wheels

I recently had new tires installed (different brand) and have the same problem. Around 60 mph is annoying

here are 2 cases you need to check

When you accelerate, it vibrates then check the front bearing, steering system also.
When you brake, it vibrates then you need to check the braking force balance between 2 wheels.

Just had my dealer done the alignment about amonth ago because the SUV pulls Right...Today I took it on the highway and at over 60 mph the steering vibrates a lot. I will bring it in this Thursday. Only 10450 miles on OEM Mich tires.

Huskers - I changed out the OEM Michelins at 19K for LTX MS2's and what a difference it made. Now at 55K and still smooth as silk.

The Michelin tires (latitude's) themselves are a decent tire. Mine ride great and on open highway I have accelerated to just over 100 mph and then let the car decelerate without using brakes. The ride is extremely smooth.

Well, the tires are still so new so I'll ride them out then I'll get the NEW Defender LTX. The same tires on the RX lasted me over 44k miles before I sold it.

Had the dealer re-balanced the tires at good-will (no cost) and all are better....

Just had my dealer rebalance my tires and it seems to have fixed my vibration issue.

I did ask for special attention to the balancing.

Default 2016 GX 460 Luxury - Vibration and Bumpy Ride

The ride is okay until I reach concrete (grey colored) pavement on a highway going at highway speeds. Then it gets VERY bouncy, where even the st wheel vibrates. I can even hear some kind of noise coming from the back as it's bouncing on the highway. As soon as the pavement changes, this stops and it goes back to a comfortable ride.

I also have some weird intermittent crunching type of noise that I hear while turning. But that is rare. There are about 700 miles on this car now.

Default 2016 Luxury bumpy ride and vibration

That is why you have a warranty! Find a stretch of road that represents what you are saying that is close to a dealership and make them take a ride with you driving or at least in the vehicle. The luxury should be a nice smooth ride. When you go from asphalt to cement the road noise will increase. The noise increase in itself is the same for any vehicle.

On the drive home from the dealership when we bought our 16 GX, I felt a vibration through the steering wheel on the highway. My wife could see the wheel vibrating.

I was going to turn around and have the dealer look at it but we were short on time. Hasn't done it since even on the same stretch of highway at same speed.

Weird.

i had that happen over thanksgiving. Driving over concrete its bouncy in back, likely because its body on frame and its not designed to flex like a car. Totally normal. Bouncing may be transferred motion to steering wheel. I didnt have any vibration if i recall.

Default 2016 Luxury Vibration and Bouncy

I'll comment again. With the luxury version, do you have your ride set on Sport, Normal, or Comfort. I run mine on normal 95% of the time. No issues since purchase!
