Vibrating while stopped
My car is only a few months old with less than 3000 miles. It has started to vibrate while at red lights occasionally.
I have an appointment at the dealer but in the meantime I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this.
Any advice appreciated

It may be normal from the AC running. Try shifting to neutral and see if it stops. I have that also on my 2015, which has 350 miles on it.

When I first saw this thread, I thought it might have been the case that I just wasn't being very observant, but, today, when I was out with the ES, I made a point of paying close attention to what was going on when the vehicle was idling at red lights (with the AC) on, and all that I could feel and hear was the engine idling very smoothly, evenly, and quietly.

Mine is at the dealer today for the same thing. My '08 was smooth as glass at idle once it warmed up. Those had a problem with a diesel sound when cold but was fine once they warmed up. The'13 has a slight vibration at idle A/C on or off. It's more of a humming sound inside the cablin but there is a slight vibration as well. once you get past idle it's very smooth.
I'll let you all know what the dealer says. I suspect they will say it's normal.

What I feel is very slight . Makes me wonder if I'm really feeling anything. Today I tried shifting into neutral with the AC on and then with it off. It's still there, I think.
Have an appointment Monday. I too expect to hear " everything's normal "

Ok so I had mine checked out yesterday and of course they said that they could not duplicate the issue. At least it's on record that I brought it in for this so if any service bulletins are released for this when it's out of warranty there may be a chance that they will correct it.
Also, the dealer was swamped with flooded cars with all the rain that we've been getting here lately so I am sure that they did not spend too much time checking it.
The service order stated that they drove it 6 miles and could not duplicate the problem but all that was needed was to start it, put it in drive, and hold the brake to experience the problem.
If it continues I'll bring it back and make them sit in the car with me so that I can show them what I am having problems with.

You really don't feel anything? On my '14 300h, I can hear the hum of the ICE if it is on at idle. If I accelerate and the ICE is on, I can feel slight vibrations on the center dash where the handrest behind the mouse thingy is. They are slight, but I know the ICE is on. I have about 8000 miles on it. I also feel a thunk every now and then if the ICE kicks in as soon as I step on the gas. If the ICE kicks in over 10mph, I cant feel it.

My dealer is swamped as well, that's why I had to wait until Monday. I know I'll get the same result. My argument is the RX doesn't do it.
