2011 Camry LE Steering Issue ?

[puru]

Hello,
I just purchased a brand new 2011 Toyota Camry LE a couple of weeks back.
Everything looks fine except one thing.

I feel some kind of vibration/ grinding sensation on the steering wheel.
I wouldn't say vibration as it doesn't shake even at high speeds.
But I have observed that the more I race and give gas, I feel the grinding sensation a little more.
It doesn't bother me much but still I always have it at the back of my mind.

Also whenever I start the car and the engine is running, I can feel a little sensation on the steering.

Is this normal ???
I took it to the Toyota Service center. They test drove it and said it very normal, but some how I am not convinced.

Any insights to this will be greatly appreciated.

Ask to test drive another copy of the same model and see if you find the same issues.

Your camry should not vibrate... especially when it is brand new. Bring it back and complain.

It could be something simple like tires are not balanced. I have had weights fall off my tires before... anything is possible.
