I just got my tC yesterday and I notice a vibration but more like a rubbing feeling coming from the floor on the driver's side.

I am used to driving an SUV with big tires and a really smooth ride so I don't know if that's just how it is being low to the ground with low profile tires or if there is something wrong.

I also feel it on the floor when I'm in the front passenger seat but more so when I'm driving.

Anyone else experience this or have an idea what it could be?

Thank you!

 

It's a little vague to diagnose... but welcome to the forums.

 

Yes, I know it's a vague description. Sorry.

It's so frustrating when I finally get the car I have wanted for so long and now I don't know if something is wrong or not.
Trying to be more descriptive... it feels like when you're riding a bike and you squeeze the brake just enough for the pad and tire rim to touch.

I'm thinking of taking it back to the dealership and asking for an alignment.

Thanks for the greetings!

 

It could be the tires, new tread can be fairly stiff and can be felt inside especially with a more stiff suspension.

 

i would think it's just the tires.

 

Even with 1000 miles on it?

 

is it like a constant feeling of rubbing? or does it only happen from time to time? Im not 100 percent sure but maybe other members on here can help me out if Im wrong, Our cars have something along the lines of Brake Assist which kicks in when you apply the break lightly. But if its a constant rubbing feeling then i dunno...

 

When I feel something when I am braking I don't count it because I figure I'm braking.

I am feeling this rubbing when I am moving forward while accelerating or coasting. I haven't paid attention when I am reversing, but I don't drive at length in reverse.
