I would guess that it's something like a tire that's not balanced right, maybe alignment issues or something like that.
I couldn't say how to find out exactly, but I'm sure it could be narrowed down, and someone with more knowledge will probably have some ideas.

May not be this, but just as a warning check the tires. I had bad vibrations. Didn't think anything of it. 1 night, going 70 down the freeway the car bounces like I hit a pothole, Dome light falls out , and then is riding all smooth. I pull over to the side of the road to see whats up.

Nothing on the driver side, Passanger side though, rear bumper is hanging off the car and the gas door is open.. Looks also like the car is lower. So I call AAA to come tow me home. Asked for a flatbed because I thought I hit something and the axel was broken. Guy comes, takes one look and tells me your cars fine. I was like er.... So he tells me to feel the tire. The tread was gone. He said it happens alot. So he puts on the spare and tells me to just take the streets.

I got the bumper glued back on, it broke one of the connector peices. But it make a nasty mark on the bottom. Scuffed it up pretty bad. Also put a few small dents in the car.

Sorry so long, but just to save you some headaches, check those tires out!!
