Common problem with a lot of FWD cars at high speeds. However I have never had this problem with my Cobalt. Get the alignment checked and wheels balanced if necessary. Also check tire pressure. Exactly how fast is your highway speed commonly?

When I brake at high speed (like 80MPH or faster) I get some vibration int he wheels as well. The cobalt stock rotors are pretty crappy and this is a common problem. I'm sure that as I continue to put miles on the car it will get worse and worse and eventually GM will have to replace the rotors for me.
