Among the possibilities are the engine is out of tune (scope the engine), the harmonic balancer is defective (has shifted; rubber bond is broken), a rotating element is loose (torque converter to flex plate connection; crank or other pulley), the crankshaft is unbalanced, or the motor mounts are not holding the engine rigidly enough. Actually, the first thing to do is check your state’s USED car lemon laws. If your vehicle was sold with a two year warranty, and your state lemon laws cover USED vehicles, keep in mind that the vehicle will have to be repaired by the vendor within a reasonable (limited) number of attempts. If not so repaired, the lemon laws give you, the consumer, specific rights and remedies. If you are having difficulty getting it properly diagnosed, simply request a second opinion from YourMechanic. The recommended service is an engine vibration diagnostic and the responding certified mechanic will get to the bottom of this for you and estimate the cost of the needed repairs.
