My car vibrates only when at a stop, such as a traffic light or stop sign. The dealership has told me for times that they can not find anything wrong with it. The issue didn't begin until about 26,000 miles.

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.

Since the vehicle is under warranty, I would demand they find and fix the issue. If the dealer won't help, then I suggest contacting the manufacturer's zone office for help.

Now, I will assume there is no check engine light staying on with the engine running, otherwise they would have found something. So, I am going to start simple. The first thing I would check is for an engine vacuum leak. Here is a link that shows how it is done:

Let me know if that helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe
