Slight shaking above 63 MPH
Hello all. I have a 2016.5 CX-5 Grand Touring. One month old.
When I first got the car, I noticed shaking at around 63 mph that remains at higher speeds. I took it back to the dealer within a week after purchase and they balanced all four tires. I don't know if they did a road force balance. The shaking lessened, but it's still there. Very little steering wheel shake, and I suspect more of the rear tires.
It is possible they did't balance the tires properly, or did a road force balance, so I'm hoping that's it. I will be calling again for an appointment (I now have 700 miles on it). I did find that all four tires had pressure of 40, which I reset to 36, based on the door sticker.
I started researching Toyo A23 tire issues, but have come up empty. Has any heard of tire or wheel/rim issues for this model/year? Anyone have/had similar problems with a similar CX-5?
Trying to get this rectified prior to going on a 1000 mile road trip coming up in a couple of weeks (because it'll bother me every mile of the trip).
Thanks for your input in advance.

Thanks all. Taking it in tomorrow and wanted to have some ammo. Will post the results. Just feel like this is going to be a battle with the dealer that I'm not exactly looking forward to.

Victory!
I took my CX-5 GT in today (772 miles) and rode with the tech, and he confirmed there's a slight shake at about 63 and above. Because the tech confirmed this, they were then able to do a road force balance (probably so that Mazda would pay for it) and determined that there was a problem with the right rear tire, which they replaced!
Turns out they originally did just a spin balance, which only helped some.
All seem well now. Noticeably smoother ride, and a quieter ride too!
