Vibration at highway speeds that will not go away

Spinning them on the vehicle you will 100% isolate the issue to one corner .
Do you feel it in the steering wheel, seat, or,floor boards?
 
I am having the tires road forced Monday I'm at a loss of what else to do
 
Why would you not let the dealer check out the car? It is still under warranty correct?

It's not under bumper to bumper only power train. They want $100 bucks to diagnose it and since they won't drive it 70-80mph they won't find it and I'll get charged.

Ask for a printout of the actual values for road force variation, before and after adjustment. 10 lb or lower would be excellent.

If the tires are OK, check the axial runout on your new front rotors. Should generally be less that 0.002 inch

Good on you. I'm hoping it fixes your problem.

Had the tires done today. The dealer said they didn't need road force balanced the balancer said they were all good apparently. I haven't tried it out yet on the highway but I will soon.

Based on that, I've not got high expectations here.
 
There machine would tell you if it needed road force they did show me that. Was a neat machine that being said I do have my doubts.
 
It's not fixed but I swapped my fiances wheels and tires and no difference so it's not wheels or tires. I swapped rotors with some freshly turned oem rotors and it was ALOT better. I still have a little vibration in the wheel but there is a tab for a vibration on smooth roads at highway speeds in the steering wheel. The local dealer said it couldn't be updated. But a friend who is a chrysler tech in Ohio looked my vin up and said the update does apply and that it had not been done and recorded in chrysler system. So the dealer may just be stupid and it hopefully just needs the tsb performed.
 
Sounds like you are on point with the rotor results. I wonder what the wording in the TSB would reveal if there is a copy online for it?
 
Tsb didn't apply the dealer looked over the whole car and they told me they had one iother dart do this and they never did get it fixed.. I'm at a loss

I have it all pulled up on alldata it applies to my car by date of manufacture and all but when they try to update the eps it says it's up to date...... I ran it up to 75-80 tonight on jack stands and it would randomly shake in the steering wheel then just go away..... I didn't see any thing wrong I checked mounts I tried to feel if the vibration was coming from the rack itself watched the tires and hub assembly as best I could, watched the axles I saw no issues at all.... I'm at such a loss. It's so aggravating
 
Could the problem be something like a bad motor mount. Since the top on is a liquid filled mount?
 
I had a wheel that could not be balanced the normal way. Problem was too wide of tires.

But I finally got rid of the wobble by jacking up one wheel in front. Then start the car and put it in gear, speed up the motor and watch the open door for movement. Then once I figured out which wheel it was started to apply stick on weights at arbitrary locations until I and finally got it balanced.

Road Force did not help and neither did the on the car spinner.
