Default 2016 Honda Accord Coup Touring 3.5 vibration in steering

I have a 2016 Honda Accord Coupe Touring with 3.5 litre .
l am getting a vibration in the steering when the vehicle warms up and are cruising in over drive .
Vibration is when rpm is at 1700-1800 rpm could be at 60 kilometres per hr or 80-90 kilometres per hour . Dealer did some diagnostics and couldn’t fix the problem. Honda tech line told them this is normal and have no fix for it yet .
Just started doing it about a month ago .
Anyone hear of this problem before ?

I haven't heard of this problem on here.

Vibration through the steering column would be suspension/drivetrain related? Maybe a motor mount issue?

The easiest test is to rotate the front tires to the back and see if the vibration disappears to eliminate a tire/rim issue.

Default Vibration

I have had the car at a Honda dealership where l live . The first round they checked the front end and they did change a tie rod end . They did a front end alignment as well after changing the tie rod end .
Vibration was still there.
The vibration starts after the car is warmed up on the road for about ten minutes and seems to be going into hi gear or over drive and the vcm is on . You could be doing 90 km hr , 80 km hr even 60 km hrs . At 80-90 km hr it’s always about 1700 /1800 rpm it does it . Just a slight vibration. You accelerate it goes away. Decel it goes away .
The dealer then balanced my snow wheels which they said we’re out a couple ounces .
Said I was much better .
Took the car and was doing the same tuning as when l took it in to them .
l changed wheels to my allseason and drove it and the vibration was still there at those certain speeds and rpm’s .
Took it back to the dealership and took the Service manager for a long drive to warm up the vehicle to duplicate what it was doing .
keep in mind new plugs were put in , NGK 500 km ago which they want . And trans fluid was serviced 5000 k ago .
He did acknowledge the vibration and took it back in and rechecked the front end and drive line the said .
Did software updates he said , no codes present either. Couldn’t find anything.
Went to there tech line and they came back with nothing except that when vcm is switching back and forth from 6 to 3 cylinders it’s giving a vibration.
The vibration can be constant with cruise control on .It’s a very slight vibration but is noticeable.
They tell me this is something that Honda has no fix for . And is normal.
Just started doing it in my car a month ago .
Any input would great .
Thanks.
