cold start vibration

Does anyone else have vibration when cold start. Mine is 04 auto and 30XXX VIN and right after start the engine...I can actually feel the vibration in the steering wheels (shaking) after the car has been park for a few hours..Not slightly shake but something you can really feel /hear it.

I get the same feeling when I start the car in the morning. Its almost like a rough idle, no shaking feeling. It quickly goes away. But I'm starting to hear the same engine sound sometimes when I'm driving. Hard to explain. It"s a deep sound, but the Acura Tech's tell me it is the exhaust system.

I don't have this problem, but while talking to service guys at my dealer, I was told about this issue. They say it takes only a few minutes to fix it as all they have to do is update the ECU.

update

Dealer kept the car overnight and says it was normal. I guess it wasnt cold enough in texas the pass few days... very warm so maybe next time when it gets colder i will bring it back in. Not that bad of a shaking or vibrating but noticable...my mom 04 accord is much much smoother idle in cold start.. they fixed some rattles. Anyone in houston wanna let me ride their car to experience this vibrating at 50 mph that everyone is taking about. I dont know if i have vibration while driving or not but the car seems to be a little bouncy at all speed....umm...

The colder it gets, the rougher it seems to idle for the first minute or two. It was in the 20's last night and you could really notice it this morning. I'm sure to meet there emissions goals they set the air fuel mixture when starting just rich enough to keep the car running.

Really? I had a 2003 Accord EX-it used to shake and vibrate in winter like there is no tomorrow. My TL does not vibrate at all in the cold mornings.
