Vibration while stopped on drive.

I have notice for a while now a engine vibration while in drive and stopped at a light. You can feel the engine vibration in the steering wheel and slightly in the seat. Its not alot but not what I expect from Acura. I have had previous cars that you cannt tell if its running or not when you come to a stop. Now when I put it in neutral the car idles smooth, you have to look at the rpms to tell if its running. Has anyone experienced this? I will tell the dealer when I take it in for a oil change but you know how that goes, they will probably tell me its normal or we cannt find anything wrong with it. By the way its a 10 4cly w/12600 miles.

Do you have the AC on when stopped? I noticed mine vibrates when the AC is on.

Why is that odd? You are removing one source of NVH.

Have the same issue, never had issue until i had the pistons and rings replaced due to TSB: oil consumption. Could feel in steering wheel as well and cup holders vibrate much.

Mine doesn't vibrate that bad, only when AC is on. Even then the cup holders don't vibrate.

I think we need to try to define "vibration."

When stopped at a light for example, I can feel a very slight virbration from the drivetrain working against the brakes. With A/C on it is a bit more evident but never does it rise to the level of anything rattling. I don't notice it unless I think about it.

My vibration is normal for a 4 cylinder entry-level luxury car. The vibration is less than my wife's Civic but about on par with my old 335 - which I thought vibrated a litle too much for a 6 cylinder.

Mine does same. 2009 tsx. I know the car vibrates when in gear, but this is worse than that. This suddenly happened about 2 weeks ago.
