I just purchased a Lexus IS 250 , and I’ve been noticing when I'm completely in stop at the traffic light some very slight vibration through the steering wheel almost unnoticeable , I just want to know if is something normal since my car already has 3 years old or there is something wrong, also you have to turn off the radio and pay attention to realize what I’m saying and when the AC is off there is not noticeable vibration , it disappears completely
the car has 36000 miles.

Cant say I've experienced this in my IS350, but in my previous car, a 2004 V6 Camry, the only time I would feel vibrations through the steering wheel in traffic would be due to worn engine mounts. For that to occur on a 3 year old car though, no idea. Just my 2 cents. Maybe start by inspecting those parts.

You shouldnt feel anything with the car off.

With both hands on the steering wheel when at a stop (engine is just idling, vehicle is not moving, either parking, drive, or reverse), I did feel vibrations through the steering wheel. When the car is off, no... I wouldnt feel it because the engine is not running. You shouldnt feel anything with the car off.

I would go test drive another IS250 and see if they do the same. you might want to check into maintenance. spark plugs in particular may help slightly. at 36k i doubt your engine mounts are going bad, but anything is possible. you are probably just being picky. car engines can sometimes vibrate while stopped. your car engine is causing multiple explosions every second while trying to twist the rear wheels as you have your foot on the brake preventing it from going. so there will likely be some vibration felt at times as you are essentially causing your car to fight itself while stopped.

With that said, on a 3 years old car, in my opinion shouldnt have to deal with that yet.. >.<
