Vibration felt in Headrests

[MachEMattStP]

Hi everyone

New Mach-E owner here. Just picked up a used 2021 Mach-E GT Performance and I've noticed something that seems a little off but honestly may just be me getting use to a "sportier" car again (or more accurately a sportier suspension). It seems like even going down relatively smooth roads that there is a persistent vibration that I can feel through the headrest (and potentially through the steering wheel as well...). It's not really apparent if I'm leaning forward but when I'm using the headrest as...well a headrest I can feel it and its somewhat annoying. When I place my hand on the headrest (or the passenger side as well) I can definitely feel the vibration (almost like a low level buzz). Seems to be at speeds above 10-15 mph or so and It might go away under brief bouts of hard acceleration (though returns as soon as you let off the electrons). The previous owner had put A/S tires (Toyo Proxies Sports A/S) on it so its no longer riding the stock summer tires.

Has anyone else felt this? Could it be something with the tires? Something worth talking to the service department about?

Thanks for any insights!

Hi there! Would you send us a private message with your VIN and dealership name and location? I’d like to look into this concern on my end.

Mine seems relatively docile. I am running Continental DWS 06+ tires in 275/40R20 on 20x9.5 rims (with aftermarket anti-sway bars and always in Unbridled). ?‍?

Wheel out of balance?
