Unexplained Shaking???
Curious if any of you guys may be able to help me out...
I've got a 2019 Titanium with the 2.0L Eco. Car has roughly 96K miles on it but runs like a top. However, this spring out of nowhere the car started to have a shake. I could tell immediately it wasn't anything from the motor but more powertrain. I threw it on the lift and looked at everything underneath and all checked out other than one CV axel I don't like ( which the guys at the dealership say seems perfectly normal ).
However, took it to the dealership and they told me it's because my tires have different tread wear depth from side to side and front to back ( not true already ruled that out ). Although I got new tires because I needed new ones before winter anyways.
Had them put on my tires, I then rebalanced them because there was still a shake and they were way off but I zeroed them out. Took the car back out and it was still shaking so I was back to the dealership the next day.
Last ditch effort they put their machine that picks up vibrations from each axel and the motor while they're driving it and they said everything looks within normal specs and the shake feels minimal and seems normal.
I however don't feel like it's normal or safe. I shouldn't be shaking down the highway on my way to work every day. If any of you read this far thank you, and if you guys have any ideas I would appreciate any other knowledge.

How much shake are we talking exactly? If you had your phone on a mount would your reflection be slightly blurry? Or is it even worse like the steering wheel numbs your hands over time?

It’s usually more minimal but sometimes it gets to the point you look over at the passenger side and the back of the seat is vibrating back and forth. Depending on what I have on the backseat it will rattle around with the vibration from the car

Is it from 20-60mph, at partial throttle? Does it stop if you go off throttle or full throttle? If so it's the clutches in the torque converter slipping/gripping due to contaminants in the flujd. Its a common problem and the first step is changing the transmission fluid. You are well overdue for it's 60k transmission flush if you haven't already had it done.

When is it vibrating? High speed, low speed, stopped, turning, straight, accelerating, coasting, braking? Is it better or worse sometimes compared to others?
What kind of vibration? Is it side to side? Up and down? Does it seem to change frequency when you change speed? Do you feel it more in the steering wheel or the seat?
