Dealer finally replaced tires with Michelin X1 and vibration is down to barely noticeable. We feel the tires are masking the problem. Ford admits having the same problem with the sister model sold in germany, doesn't know what causes it but these extremely expensive tires seem to help. They use pirelli gold, michellin X1 in germany to "fix" the problem. They ruled out other causes such as suspension, alignment, wheel balance, etc. We are worried that there is an inherent design flaw that will cause major failure.
