My is XLS. It felt like that from the day i bought the car. I did not test drove this one but a DEMO XLS one and did not notice any vibration than. My XLS was brand new all cover with factory plastic and had like 18 miles on it (should of test that one too. Learned my lesson). I drive mostly in 2wd. I tried 4wd auto and 4wd lock. Same buzzing/vibration sensation. All pervious check by dealer did not find anything wrong and they stated that’s how this model drives . BS
Right now the SUV just hit 9,000 miles. I already scheduled the next maintenance appointment and want them to check this issue very carefully because I think the front tires are developing " feathering" . Check out the site to see what I'm talking about.

I will see what they say and will test drive a different Outlander in a different dealership to see if I experience the same sensation. I’m very frustrated at this point. :mad:
You could have a wheel balancing problem too if you say your wheel is feathering. Well if that's the case it's always warrantable and it shouldn't be too hard to prove your case since you got hard evidence to show. I don't think the dealer can deny your warranty if you have a valid reason for a claim.
I have similar problem. The vibration starts when the car goes about 80km/h and higher on a high way. I am still not sure, what causes it, and would be interested if anybody has the same problem and already fixed it.
What I noticed is vibration started after tire rotation at dealer service station. However, according this link it could be more complicated problem

Any suggestion?
When taking your vehicle for alignment ask for pre and after computer listing of alignment values, i.e. camber, toe-in, caster, steering angle, etc. Also ask for Outlander 2008 data. Some Mitsu garages have values for the Outlander 2006. Furthermore, ask for the date of the latest alignment calibration machine.
I know I made the right choice and loving it.
