I have an 09 Malibu with a 4 cylinder connected to a 6 speed automatic.The car only has 12000 miles. Lately from a dead stop I feel some vibration until I get up to about 10 mph. The steering wheel doesn't shake like I have an unbalanced wheel as it doesn't do it all the time. I do remember reading some time back on the forum some one having the same problem and they said something about having the dealer do a transmission reflash. If I am correct please advise. Anyone else having this problem??

From what you are describing, that doesn't seem like a transmission reflash issue. As your still in 1st gear at 10 mph.

Upon further review...the wobble is more in the 10 to 20 mph range. And it also seems worse when making a turn, either left or right.
