The speed limit on the Indian Nation turnpike in Oklahoma is 75 mph. It has also been raised in West Texas to at least 75 mph, and it may have been raised to 80 mph. So it is legal in some places to drive over 70 mph (not that the dealership's argument made any sense or was legitimate anyway).

File a complaint here:

That's the Office of Defects Investigation.
 
If enough people complain and they see a pattern, Hyundai could be forced to do a recall, or at least a TSB to dealers. Who knows, maybe they can adjust their alignment specs a little or maybe the wheels aren't up to spec.

They tried that too.in nv 65..But in California the interstate is 75mph...So I didnt except their LAME Excuse..My steering wheel was Horrible, then they replaced tires and balanced and re-aligned and that fixed 50% of vibration...Then they replaced axle still does it...The easiest way for me to explain the vibration is it feels almost like a flat tire at 70..the vibration/wobble. Anyway you want to explain it..The manufacture confirmed it at arbitration which I appreciated..."characteristic" of vehicle....Please Call Hyundai they will try to help you...Then take it to Arbitration..It s free....I didnt pay $27,000 to drive in a Jeep Wrangler..We have a newborn and my 4 year old said yesterday...Mommy the seat is shaking...She notices the vibration...at 4..I am waiting on the decision from BBB..But I did get JD Powers survey,,,& another one today from another agency...I can tell you that Hyundai tried to resovle issue with offers...But if I am gonna keep this for 10 years...I want a premium comfort ride as described in brochure. I test drove 2 other new Entourages that did the same thing...So a replacement of van was not acceptable..I will keep you posted..Hey do you feel the vibration in your legs & seat? Also sit in back seat & you may notice it goes thru out. even at 40mph

Some issues that many will miss, is the vehicle's brake rotors, these are often overlooked as an issue, and a simple turn on a brake lathe can fix the issue. From other experience it can also be caused by loose or broken motor and transmission mounts, there is a lot of torque applied to these mounts and this can also cause issues. From what I'm reading I would say there is a issue with the brake rotors, could be warped, or may not be strong enough to support the front axle weight, and needs to be redesigned.

I purchased a GLS 2 weeks ago. I noticed the vibration on the way home from picking up the vehicle. During the Test drive I never took it above 60mph.
 
I notice the shaking in the steering wheel at about 74mph. It gets progressively worse above 75mph. Its fine at 65-70mph. The shaking is not felt throughout the whole van, just from the steering wheel.
 
Has anyone determined if the build date has anything to do with the shaking/vibrations issues? I ask because the production date on my Entourage is 4/06. So I assume its one of the earlier vans produced. Does anyone have an Entourage produced recently that has the issue also?

Shimmy and Mfg date by jboehm

I test drove a Limited yesterday that had a Mfg date of 4/06. I had the van up to 80 MPH and there was no shimmy/vibration at all (since reading the forums I am paying close attention to this). There is another Limited on the showroom floor with a Mfg date of 3/06.

I wonder if it's the tires? Maybe we should look at those as well. Though the dates are encoded.

How do you find out when the car was manufactured? I asked my dealer when I bought the car, and he said he'd find out but never told me.
 
I had a vibration at 70+, but after they rebalanced it for the 2nd time, it seems to have gone away. However, I now seem to have a new problem. At low speeds, pretty much as soon as the car starts moving, it feels rough, enough to be annoying. I have been ignoring it hoping it would go away but it hasn't. It smooths out at higher speeds (over 45) so it seems to be almost the opposite of my other problem. It's just kind of bumpy at lower speeds, which is really strange. Has anyone else experienced anything like this, or does anyone else have any idea what this may be?

Check the driver's side door jamb for the manufacturing date.
 
No idea on the low speed vibes, maybe they changed the alignment and overcompensated?
