Vibration pattern
The speed band and location often make the repair record useful
Record where the vibration is felt, the precise speed range, whether it changes during acceleration or braking, road conditions, temperature, wheel and tire measurements, balance or road-force results, and recurrence. “Vehicle vibrates” is less useful than a repeatable operating profile.
California law is fact-specific. Read the current Civil Code section 1793.2 and section 1793.22, then compare the statute with the written warranty and repair file.
