Usually when that happens to me it turns out to be a bad tire. One of the belts has usually broken. Rotating won't fix the problem. If you're fortunate to have another set of rims and tires, swap them over. If not, you will have to take them to a garage and have them spun on a tire machine in order to see the wobble. You may be able to spot the egg in the tire by eye if it's big enough. Loose lug nuts will also cause the car to wobble at certain speeds. Another culprit can be one of the brake pistons is going bad and sticking. Had that happen before too. Good luck!!
I was experiencing the same problem 2014 camry. Got brakes, wheel balanced and tire rotation done. Still the same thing. Went back to dealer was told, they was gonna turn rotors. and will cost 160.00. My husband explain to them we was not going to pay for them to guess what was wrong. We need to know. They came back 10 minutes later and said it was the transmission.
