Vibration at speeds of 64/65MPH and up. Not sure if driveshaft or transmission. Hyundai has issued a TSB but will not honor it. I have asked 2x for dealer service dept. To evaluate this problem. They said they do not have to honor this TSB. I have seen on forums others are having same problem with cars made in december 2019. It is painful to drive on the highway and I do not know if it is the driveshaft, will it break? Will the transmission fail?
