Car vibrating while parked in "D" mode.

I bought a @008 TL Base model with 77,000miles on it. When I am in D mode with my foot on the brakes and not moving, the car keeps vibrating until I change to neutral or P before the vibration stops.

Does anyone have any idea what this is about?

Check your motor and transmission mounts.

All of them? And did you get them changed with OEM ones or aftermarket ones?

Which ones exactly? Urethane ones?

If you got harder than stock ones you're always going to feel some vibration. They need some break in time, but they'll still never feel like stock (kind of the point though).

Hey can't say we don't have people from everywhere around the globe!

Do you have an Acura dealership in the region?

inb4 nigerian prince jokes.


Also which ones did you replace? I believe there are 3 Front, rear, and transmission.

The rear one (usually the harder one to get to), is the ones that people tend to stick to OEM for comfort's sake.

Try to seafoam. It worked for me and reduced vibration by a noticeable difference. Idle is much smoother now. I put it through the vac line and gas tank (50/50)

Replace your pcv valve, it might be clogged.
