Weird vibrations on my Alcazar after crossing 100 km/h: What can it be?

My dad was sitting in the back and he could feel the same.

BHPian mtk recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Since the last two months, I have noted something weird with my Alcazar. It was first observed in my drive to Bangalore two months back.

In September I gave the car for the 10k service. There were no issues with the car except for the wiper making noise. So to abide by the service rules and to find a solution for the loud wiper noise I gave the car to Popular Hyundai, Cochin. The service was completed in two days. Two days later I had a planned visit to Bangalore and we started the journey. Three of us - Dad, Mom, and myself with luggage.

While on the drive I experienced something shocking and something that never occurred in my 1 year of ownership. The car after crossing speeds of 100 started to vibrate. My dad was sitting in the back and he could feel the same. I also felt the car was having some alignment issues as it tended to move to the left. But we continued our journey.

So when I came back from Bangalore I visited Popular Hyundai and gave it for another service (5th or 6th Oct). This is what I mentioned to them:

  1. Alignment issue. The car tends to move left
  2. Vibration when crossing 100kmph
  3. Wiper noise is still very evident

They completed the service in a day and delivered the car. On 8th Oct I drove to Trivandrum and to my surprise the Vibration is still evident as soon as you cross 100kmph. The wiper noise is still there. However, the alignment seems to have been rectified.

I will visit Popular Hyundai again next week. I’m not sure what to tell them apart from the same thing I told them the last time.

Has anyone else faced this Vibration issue and Wiper issues?

Here's what BHPian Naetik30 had to say on the matter:

Multiple people have reported the wiper noise issue with Alcazar. My theory is that the issue occurs if you pressure wash the wiper. Until then the new wipers work well without noise. I got a new set installed in August and made sure that the pressure washer was not pointed at the wipers. In the past two months, the wipers have been good. Fingers crossed.

About the vibration issue - is that an engine/transmission judder? Not very clear what you mean by vibration. If it is a juddering, then please refer to my thread on the same here
