Vibration, subtle

[Jomartijr]

I have a recently purchased 2021 Supra GR that had an issue best described as a slight vibration felt in the steering wheel, more a "thrumming" similar to a failing wheel bearing. Its most evident at 71-75 mph.
Question for you- have any of you noticed this in your Supras?

Are you sure this isn't the lane departure steering wheel vibration?

 

[Jomartijr]

No, I'm not sure but its present regardless of lane position. Its an interesting thought because the vibe is similar. Thanks, I'll look at that.

Turn off all the drivers assistance and see if it continues. What you are describing sounds exactly like lane departure feedback.

Or possibly wheel out of balance or tire not true.. (?)

 

[Jomartijr]

I'll do so and thanks for the suggestion

 

[Jomartijr]

That was actually my first thought.
Odd thing is the dealer tech says he cant detect a problem.
So I have to take what likely is a simple problem up the line to Toyota Customer Service.

This happens when a tech doesn't buy into solving a problem.

There is a warning when you're speeding too - at least with driver assist. You need to turn that shit off as well. Is it just in the wheel or can you feel it in the seat?

 

[Jomartijr]

Localized to steering wheel. Turning off driver assists is a great idea will try that.
Thank you all for some sound suggestions.

Most Toyota dealer techs aren't experienced enough with the Supra to have much knowledge. You might get better results from a BMW tech..sadly

@CarGuy11 has a great video on "shit you need to do when you buy your car in the settings otherwise shit is all weird and you'll be like why is this shit weird" It's here ->

Might as well watch this one too for an 'intro to coding'

 

[Jomartijr]

That crossed my mind. I began with the selling dealer.

Anything ever come of taking it to the dealer?

 

[Jomartijr]

If you're referring to my dealer experience...nothing but " we can find no problem...this is normal"...
