Gen6 Wheel Shaking Problems (Warranty Issues)

ok so idk if any of you read one of my earlier threads but I put my whole car back to stock to take it back to the dealership because my rotor was grinding against the caliper. dealer said it was debris stuck in my rotor that was causing the rotor to rub against the caliper and that they cleaned it. after they cleaned it i noticed my steering wheel would start shaking now from 60-80 MPH. IDK if this had anything to do with the rotor and caliper because i know the caliper was messed up pretty bad and the rotor was scratched up pretty bad but they didnt want to fix it because i was going thru some other problems with them regarding them crashing my other car while in service. back to the main part i took the car in for steering wheel shaking problem they said it was one of my wheels that were way off balance got the car back and its still shaking from 60-80 and 110-120 MPH. The funniest part was when i told that to my service advisor and the tech standing next to him all of you guys should have been there to see their priceless looks on their faces when i said 120 MPH. I WAS SERIOUS.. anyways what do you guys think this weird shaking is???

sounds like your rotors are warped. its covered under warranty. I got it fixed for free at the dealer.

120? Please do take care of yourself.

60-80 could be a wheel balance issue. Or maybe a bad tire? Try rotating them around and see if the problem moves. Did they use Hunter Road Force balancing machine?

But if it's under warranty it should be fixed for free.

What John said. Most likely a re-balancing is needed. This recently happened with my '08 after getting the tires rotated. After having the wheels re-balanced, the car drives as smooth as it should.
