Vibration

What vibration? My C40 is as smooth as glass.

That's nice. I can't stand mine. I miss the smoothness of an ICE vehicle. Literally 1 day in and I want to back to gas vehicles for the pure refinement of it all. To be fair though, I'm stepping from Acura to Volvo, so I suppose I need to also consider that compromises will have to be made.

I have a Volvo XC60 and I'm waiting on my C40, don't know about the C40 yet but the XC60 is one of the smoothest car I've ever had, it directly compares to my 2021 air suspension Range Rover Sport. Volvos are great, I'd say even greater than Acura, so it should be a step up. Hopefully you'll be able to fix that because every c40 review I've read/watched says it is super smooth, best of luck!

This thing is anything but. Hopefully Volvo can fix it. So far though, this is the worst new car I've ever owned. I'm just afraid that people like the C40 and call it smooth b ecause they haven't owned something like a Mazda or Acura before like I have, and that these cars really are "just like this"

Yes, I totally get that! Matt from carwow said it's very smooth in his video (go to CarWow on youtube) and he always drives the most luxurious and expensive cars in the world so I believe it's supposed to be smooth

But if the C40 is anything like the XC60, it's super smooth and that is comparing it to a Range Rover Sport that is a 90 to 120 thousand dollar car with air suspension

Ah. Mine actually causes your hands to tingle for a long time after because the steering wheel resonance at highway speeds. Anything but smooth. Unimpressed. Maybe this is not the car for me. I'm going to call the dealer and see if they will replace the tires or something and see if that helps.

Your car clearly has a fault because if no othe owner on the forum is getting this and it is never mentioned in any reviews, then it is not a normal thing.

As a suggestion maybe you should also look at your posting style because right from the first repsonse you were told the C40 is perfectly smooth. Instead of a simple "maybe I will get the dealer to check it out", you got all trolly and passive aggressive.

If I can actually get it to a service center, I will be happy to update. Seems they are booked for weeks.

I feel that pain. I have a Jaguar I-Pace and have been told a broken air vent is on back order for months. One of my B pillar air vents is held on with duct tape

One other quick fix is to bring it for a tyre health check and wheel allignment. I have had cars in the past where this fixed some weird behaviour such as poorly centred wheels and vibration at certain speeds. Had a 3 day old Nissan that would vibrate from 45 - 55 mph and would go away above and below that range. The dealership said it was "within normal parameters" and refused to fix it. In the end this was fixed by a wheel alignment at my own cost.

This may sound odd but how about booking a test drive in another C40? Just to check if it is normal or not. It would cost you nothing and at the very least put your mind at ease over how to proceed.
