It starts at approximately 60 mph, then slows at 70 then comes back above 75 mph.

Hello,

This could be a few things. This could be your tires out of balance, a wheel bearing(s), or your vehicle's driveshaft's U-joint(s) could be failing. To see if your tires are out of balance, take them to where you purchased them and have them re-balance them for you. To check your wheel bearings, jack your vehicle up like you are going to change a tire. Here is a link for you to go to if you are unfamiliar with how to do this properly:

Next, take the wheel you want to check, and try to move the top of the wheel towards the vehicle, and then try to move the bottom away from the vehicle. There should be no play at all. If there is then you have a failing wheel bearing that needs to be replaced.
Here are a couple of links for you to go to about wheel bearings and U-joint inspection and replacement:

Please go through these guides and get back to us with what you are able to find out.

Thanks,
