Sounds like you have a worn engine and or transmission mounts. What is the actual mileage on the car?

Almost 54,680 miles. The vehicle does not make any noise it just vibrates when I stand still at traffic light etc. But when I switch to neutral it goes away.

It definitely sounds like and engine mount that has collapsed. Raise the car and use a flashlight to check the engine and transmission mounts, you should be able to see one that is torn or worn down.

Please let us know what you find so it will help others.

Best, Ken

These are the parts that have a rubber insulator that support the engine and transmission. When the engine is running it vibrates the engine and transmission mounts shield the car from this vibration.

It can cause damage if let go too long, it depends on how bad they are worn and broken. Inspection is required.

Yes, eventually they will tear free and can damage other mounts etc over time.

Hey guys it was due to Transmission mount but they said we dont have the genuine one and I didnot want them to put the none genuine one. So I will have to wait till they get the genuine one. But I dont know if its bad to let it till it get here I mean its not as bad as if it was the Engine Mounts right?
