FRS steering wheel vibration.

Hi,everyone. I realize my car's steering wheel has a lots of vibration when it idle. I know it might be engine mount problem, but the vibration only comes out when the car stop moving. Does anyone have the same issue as mine ? My car is first Gen ,2013 model.

Honestly, as you suggested yourself, check the motor mounts, they arent difficult to inspect.

What model year is your car ........

Does the engine itself vibrate ...... or just your steering wheel .. ??


Come back.

How is the engine running, as far as putting out power .. ??

Any codes thrown .... ??

Back-in-the-day ....... I would have suspected a fouled spark plug.

I would take it in to a dealer ASAP!

I always thought they didn't start production until 2012.
Does your VIN have a B as the 10th character? as in JF1ZxxxxxBxxxxxxx
If it's a C it means it was assembled in 2012.
