Sounds like a weight fell off the rim. Look to see if a rim is missing one if not check the tires for even pressure or bubbles. If thats all good I would have the rims rebalanced. How do u like the EB? I think mine is great!

Give your dealer a fair shot at fixing it; if he tries to duck out there are avenues to follow. I'd try to get (in fact, insist) the service manager or a mechanic to go for a ride with ya so you can personally show him what the problem is. Why bother to try to fix it yourself, you bought new in part because you probably don't want to work on it. I'd also ask for a service loaner while they have your rig.
