HI, new and have searched the forum first for vibration issues. Found many but not quite what I experience.
Felt this on the initial test drive but thought it was tires flat spotted from setting who knows how long. Bought it new with 12 miles.
Vibration 1.)
Morningitis: the Bridgestone Turanzas P205/55R16 mounted on the factory steel wheels wake up with flat spots. Extremely noticeable but that goes away within two miles of driving. I traded my 2015 MTS Versa Sedan that had similar Morningitis.
I can live with that and I get a morning massage until the third stop sign.
Question 1.)
Will P205/65R16 or P205/70R16 give me interference in the wheel well? anyone switch to either size?
Vibration 2.)
5th gear whine. I think its 5th, it could be the final drive but its mostly noticeable in 5th and light load.
My Versa only started to whine after 30,000 miles but I don't have any heartburn. Its gears I figure and its likely normal>? Don't hear it over lo radio volume but just curious if anyone has input.
Question 2.)
Is this a normal whine probably>?
Vibration 3.)
This one is a deal breaker imo and at this time I'm quite disappointed.
Most prominently about 50mph to 65mph I get a resonating vibration not unlike a driveshaft phasing issue. It reminds me of a 2nd or 3rd order drive-line vibration of some yesteryear rear drive cars and trucks.
The intensity throbs and is most noticeable under loaded 5th gear, or upon part throttle decel at same speeds and becomes non existent when you float near neutral throttle load. Overall it is not violent and not in the wheel or column. It emanates from the floor and seat. It feels like rough road or a very light washboard or wake-up divots but it is resonant.
Similar in 4th and in 6th but I won't use 6th until 1,000-2,000 mile mark for break-in.
I truly feel this is one for the field service rep pronto.
I'd love to put a reed tach on the dash just to see what frequencies he is sounding off at. It seems to NOT be tire or wheel speed, much faster and phasing. Bad timing for the dealership service department but I'm going to see if the store is open today. Otherwise its a Tuesday trial. Love the difference in shift feel between the Versa and the Sentra!
Question 3.)
Has anyone experienced this type of resonance/vibration on the 6-spd manuals or Sentra line? If you have, does it go away after the suspension and drive-line settle in>? i fear it won't.
Any input is appreciated in advance!
Thanks, ---'17MTSsentra
