2012 Ford focus se manual high speed vibration

Asked by Aquaticred Jul 29, 2019 at 09:32 AM about the 2012 Ford Focus SE Hatchback

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

So when I am driving down the free way my car is
smooth until I get to 70mph through 79mph, I get a
pretty noticable vibration accelerating or maintaining
speed. It mellows out if I let it the peddle but
immediately starts to vibrate worse when I continue
accelerating. It also goes away if I go 80mph and above.
Any ideas what this could be or what the fix is?

Sounds like a wheel unbalanced. If it were out of line it would quit vibrating at high rate of speed. Maybe just go get your tires balanced. Good luck

I’ve had the same problem. Balancing them hasn’t fixed it. I’ve been told multiple things like the tierods are bad and to rotate them and I’ve paid to have it all taken care of by multiple people. The problem remained
