Does it shake all of the time, at certain speeds, when you use the brakes...?

Start with having the tire balance checked and have the tech check for shifted belts in the tires or a bent rim.

Let me know what you find.

Hi:
Just a little info for you. If you feel the vibration in the steering wheel, it deals with the front tires. If you feel it in the seat and floor, chances are it is the rear tires. If you can differentiate between the two, try rotating the tires to see if it changes where the vibration comes from. If it does, then you have limited it down to two tires.

Let me know.
