I did not see it anywhere maybe I missed it but, was the car test driven prior to purchase. I can understand the air bag thing not being discovered but a vibration like the one being discribed would surely be there at

Another thing. This guy has been a Jag owner for years no input no nothing now that he has a problem and wants to sue he''s a new member and wants to vent. FJT you won''t hear the ending to this and no thankyou for listening or your input.
You have a thankless job (opps, you don''t get paid for this it''s not a job)

Some vibrations are very hard to find. The first thing to do was to balance the tires. If this did not work, the thing to do was to replace all the wheels and tires from another car without the problem. Tires can have a separated belt internally that does not show anywhere and it can produce this problem. Pirellis are famous for it, Michelins less so. Also, wheels can be bent and also cause a vibration. If they have been rebalancing the driveshaft, working with the tires may be moot if they have messed up the drivetrain balance. Getting back to neutral could be difficult. I would exhaust the tires and wheels before ever fooling with the drivetrain balance.
