Re: vibration that comes and goes????

The next time it starts happening, pull over and check the temperature of the front brakes. If they are hot you will likely feel the heat right through the hubcap.
I had a caliper which was siezing intermitently which would drag the brake; and when it heated up, it felt like a tire with a ply separation. Once you let the brake cool down for ten or fifteen minutes, it would be fine again. It might not sieze again for weeks.
Damdest thing. If it hadn't happened to me, I never would have believed it. The soloution for me was new "professional grade" pads, calipers, & rotors. It has rolled smooth ever since.
Just a thought.
