It is not a hard vibration and may last 2 seconds. It will stop and may do it a few seconds later. Only happens after the car has warmed up and I've been running errands.

Hi,

It could be a engine performance problem a lot of time the spark plugs wires will start to break down under slight loads like accelerating it could come and go and get worse after it warms up. Check the ignition system and fuel pressure I'm attaching repair guides below for your reference. It could also be an axle joint check the axles and the drive-train for loose or leaking seals and broken mounts including the engine mounts. Let us know if you need more information.
