Reported at 18,114 miles, January 2016 CrashInjury

There is a vibration noticeable in the floor, pedals and steering wheel at around 1250 engine RPM whenever the car speed is steady. It corresponds to about 45-50 MPH when driving in eco mode. It happens while cruising at steady speeds on straight or curved roads. I have complained two or more times to the dealer and nissan USA and the only reply I have received is that it is normal for that model. Other owners have reported this problem on internet forums.
