2 Steering Wheel Vibrate problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2006

The problem is a steering wheel shake that sets up a distracting vibration at speeds between 50-60 mph. The strength of the vibration is varied as the vibrations can be strong or weak and at times, even feel as if they are not there. The danger is that there doesn't seem to be an answer as to what is causing this problem. It's related to steering of the vehicle. Becomes very disconcerting creating a nervous driver as the sensation from the vibrations is one of "lack of control". Tires have been rotated, rebalanced and tire pressures checked and changed multiple times to check for changes. The vibration remains. Different tires result in the same type of vibration. The overall feeling is a lack of control, and the potential that maybe one day something may "snap" and the cause of the problem may be found in the worst possible way, by way of an accident. I would rather not wait until then. Many other Audi A4 (model b7) owners have reported the same problem with no resolution from Audi at this point. It's not just a matter of driver comfort. For me, steering is vital, and how the vehicle operates is very contingent on how the steering feels and functions. Something does not feel right with many of these A4's.
