better descriptions illicit better responses. we need more information. does it happen under suspension load? certain speeds? consistent with engine speed or throttle application? when turning?does it happen only when your gf's cat is sitting on the passenger side when it's 60 degrees out while you're going up an incline?

This. Please let us know under what circumstances it's occurring.

Are you able to recreate it at the dealer? If so, there's no reason they will "blow you off". There's obviously something not right and they must repair it under warranty. However, if you can't recreate it, then that's another story.

Have you modified the car in any way? Suspension?
