asked by on January 23, 2018

hi all, when I just start on morning vehicle vibrates very little, when it warms up for about 10 mins especially when air condition is on it vibrates really hard, like a stiff vibration, feels like the whole vehicle vibrates, what do you think can be the cause

My car has 120000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.

It is very possible that you could have a faulty engine or transmission mount causing this issue. Engine and transmission mounts are made of rubber and they wear out over time. I would recommend having your vehicle inspected by a qualified professional to determine the condition of your engine and transmission mounts.
