I have two 2012's. Just bought the second one a month ago. After purchasing the first one a year ago with 64k miles I noticed a vibration around 60-70 mph. Turns out it was the drive shaft. I replaced it with an aftermarket one at home. What are the chances of the second one with 60,130 miles having the same problem? It has the same Problem! Removed the shaft and it went away. Both bought with no warranty. 60,000 didn't think I needed one. Wrong

Salty road treatments can cause the U joints to bind. I spray ours with silicone while waiting for motor oil to drain.

More likely if the car sits idle for periods, or the ride height is changed (lift kits).
