2012 Mazda CX-9 Sporadic vibration comes and goes, sounds like rumble strip.
Sporadic vibration comes and goes, sounds like rumble strip.
What is your question?
I get an almost random vibration happen for very very short blips, like half a second to maybe a second tops. It pretty much only happens in the 45-55 mph range as I'm acceleration (not hard). It distinctively sounds and feels as though I'm driving over a rumble strip. The car drives perfectly smoothly otherwise. Had a noisy bearing replaced so that wasn't it. Started noticing it after I replaced my pads and rotors though. I feel it mostly in my seat, not in the steering wheel.
Any help is appreciated. Looking to see if the fix is small enough to keep the car. If it might be huge, I might just call it quits and trade it in.

What are the best Mazda repair shops?

Hello, similar experience with vehicles in the past show a concern with the engagement of the torque converter of the automatic transmission. It fits your description and timing of concern perfectly.
I would ensure you have all transmission fluid changed -- and check your records to see if you've changed it every 30,000 miles or so to date.
Hopefully a fluid change -- or two -- will help relieve the concern.
