Exclamation Steering Wheel Vibration 60-70 mph

That's it, I've decided to call the dealer today with regards to this issue. The steering wheel vibrates fairly noticable when the car is merging into the highway at about 60-70 mph. I've been watching it for about 1600 miles and has not subsided yet, gotten worse. THe car only has 2300 miles on it! WTF!

The symptoms are the following:

The steering wheel vibrates and feels loose, worse at about 62-65mph about half inch of travel. It feels like the tires are not gripping although there is no drop in performance. The vibration is like you're going over very small speed traps or a more appropriate example is going over a road that has small symmetrical aberrations and the steering wheel obsorbs them. It doesn't pull the car to the left or right, so it doesn't effect the performance. It does it whether you're accelarating or slowing down. Its worse when you slow down.
there are no vibrations before or after this speed interval, the steering wheel is rock solid!

I've been reading some of the other posts similar issues but am unsure of the solution. Anyone had this problem? If yes, how is it corrected if correctable at all? Anywhere I should direct the dealer, cause I'm probably going to get "its normal BS"?

Any advice is appreciated before I make the phone call.
