    2015 Q7 TDI Shimmy at 65mph+

    I've had this in to the dealership twice for this issue. First time they thought it was the tires...they were near end-of-life so we replaced those. The second time I was told "we think you hit something and bent a wheel", yet when they took the wheels off everything was fine.

    For the first week after both visits, the car drove like a dream but then the shimmy returned. 65mph+ until around 77-78mph. Does NOT happen when braking.

    Any thoughts?

    There is a TSB for this:

    Life has taught me never try to make something idiot proof, they'll simply come up with a better idiot.
    I'd agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.
    I have neither the time, nor the crayons to explain this to you properly.

    Flat spots is their answer. That seems laughable. Wouldn’t this be the case for every car?
