2023 Kia Sportage SX Hybrid Vibration
My 2022 Sportage SX turbo has had the same issue since day one. My issue is the worst between 70-75 mph. The really strange part is with a full tank of gas it's barely there, but the lower the fuel level the worse the issue. I had the original tires balanced 3 times, then Michelin warrantied them out with a good pro-rate for new Crossclimate 2s. Then road force balanced those and still have the issue. It's not the tires and its not the balance and its not the weight of the fuel, because I've added extra weight to compensate for that. The only potential working theory the trusted guys at my local shop have is as the fuel level lowers, the empty tank starts to act like an acoustic guitar body and amplifies the sound and vibration of a slight drivetrain issue or something. Has anyone else experienced the issue difference based on the fuel level?

Did you ever get this resolved?I know it's been a couple months but has anyone found a solution? My 2023 Kia Sportage SX Prestige has vibrated above 70mph since day one. The selling dealer roadforce balanced the tires twice and then said the vibration was normal. The next dealer put an axle in it and then said the vibration was normal. After I filed a lemon law complaint with Kia they sent me to another dealer. That dealership said the tires would not balance and filed a tire warranty claim but it's over 5 months and they haven't approved the warranty claim yet. The dealer keeps telling me they're waiting on Michelin. I'd really like to keep the vehicle but it's getting ridiculous.
Did you ever get this resolved?My new Kia has had a vibration/unbalance ride since delivery. I decided to replace the cheap Goodyear Assurance with Pirelli Scorpions of the same size. There is huge improvement in ride, handling and road noise. But the vibration has only been reduced, not eliminated. I had the tires re-balanced today and it is definitely a little better, but not gone. I can feel it at any speed, but once you hit 70 to 80 mph the vibration is like an out of balance tire but does not seem to be from any of particular location, but from the entire body. If you have ever driven a rear axle car with bad constant velocity joint , also know as CV joints, this is the closest I can come to describing it. Even my sisters Corolla drives perfectly smooth when the tires are properly balanced, This should certainly be the case with a new car with less than 300 miles on it!

Nope, never heard back from the dealer and proceeded to let Kia buy it back. If Kia's escalation dept and dealer service depts. are this bad when it's under threat of a lemon law buyback can you imagine what it's going to be like later.Did you ever get this resolved?

Have you sorted your problem? My car do the same.the car has been at dealer for 1 week. They acknowledge the problem but cant find the source of the vibration.
Only issues that are confirmed are no vibration in EV mode and appears worse when coasting at high speeds.
Any suggestions?
My car also doing the same. Worse on higher speeds. Sometimes it appears it come from the ice engine. Has anyone sorted this?
