She said the vibration was so great that her whole body shook with the steering wheel (it always happen between 100 - 120km). Brought it in for a check and they said all the tires have flat-spotting on them so the dealer swapped out the entire set and gave her new tires. But she had to bring it back for a second time because the vibration was still there but less noticeable. The second time they road force balanced it and said there were extra weights on them . She is happy to report that the car is now fine...no more vibration.

I would also suggest you bring it to a different dealership then the one you got it from for the check because that's what my friend did. They ran a diagnostic on the tires and identified the flat-spotting issue.
Thanks for this - I can't wait to see what they tell me when I go to pick it up. I'll keep this thread updated with what I learn
