Default vibrating noise

When I put my car in S+ mode and launch the car I hear a vibrating noise coming from the back drivers side. It only does it on launching the car from a dead stop and hitting the gas kind of hard.

Traction control maybe?

That does make sense and I do feel the vibrating sounds on the wheel.

I would also guess traction control as I've had it work on hard launches. Look for the traction control light to come on the dash when it happens.

I took the car to the dealership to report the vibration and they said I torn the heat shield from the muffler. They said it probably happened going through water.... Its been raining a lot here in Houston as well. Dealer fixed it for free and put on a new heat shield.

Heat Shields are better attended to than rather any Suspension Problems :-)

Glad it was an easy fix!
