I guess I'm the only 2010 owner that HASN'T complained about vibrations.
About my only complaint is that my steering wheel isn't straight when I'm going straight, but that was from a shoddy alignment after I lowered my car.

Just started noticing the steering wheel shake on my 2010 GT. Seems to be there from somewhere around 40 MPH to 60 MPH. It is really noticeable if you let go of the wheel.
Has anyone had any luck with this common issue on the S197 being resolved by your dealer? I figure I will take it in for the free balance and alingment and see what happens, just wanted to see if anyone had another cause I could bring up while I was there.

I had the same issue just last week. I had just bought the car, and when I took it on the highway, the steering wheel would vibrate. I really couldn't pinpoint when it did, because there was no consistency. I had it balanced and aligned - made no difference. I read in these forums about Roadforce Balance. I looked on the Roadforce site and found a dealer that had the machine. I got to watch the machine in action - quite cool. It fixed it! FYI I have factory tires. If you do not, remove the washers from the rotors, and if that doesnt work, get a Roadforce Balance.

I've owned a lot of cars and this one is the most sensitive to tire balance
that I have had. Mine has to be perfect or it will shimmy.
Not Discount perfect. Not Peerless perfect. Not Big O perfect.
Only Road Force Match Mount perfect works for me.

Tire vibration is hard to ddx.
I have a bad vibration/shaking on braking, I'm almost 100% positive it's the rotors, I had em balanced for S&G... one tire was 3oz out of balance (I think i tossed a weight somewhere)...
Tie rods, sway bars (maybe), brake rotors, wheel deformations (bent wheels), out of balance... bad suspension parts.. and just phantom ford vibrations... all sorts of things here
