2010 lexus es 350: Steering shaking at idle?
Hi there, i finally traded in my car and picked up a black 2010 ES 350, CPO, with 33k miles. However, i feel a vibration inside the vehicle while the car is idling (even when it is fully warmed up) and i was wondering if this is normal on these models? i have owned a is250, and ls460 and i didnt really notice anything like it. It almost feels like my ex's toyota camry when idling (not as loud of course).
Does anyone have the same issue? is there a recall that fixes it? or is this normal with FWD vehicles?
thanks in advance!

It sounds like something the dealer will say is normal but wouldn't hurt to have them check it out.

Depends how bad the vibration is...is it enough to rattle coins in the cupholder, or is it just felt through the steering wheel and maybe you can see the side mirror oscillate a bit?
If it's the latter, my 07 does the same thing. Because the engine idles so low it lends itself to a slight vibration. If you touch the throttle a bit and bring up the revs to about 1k, it smooths right out.
If it's much more serious than that, it's gotta be a motor mount.

Sounds normal to me. I see you're in FL, I assume you have the AC on. That places additional load on the engine at idle when the compressor is engaged and can also exaggerate the vibration.
My car does the same thing and it's perfectly fine, albeit mine is an 07 with 78k miles on it.

Idle Vibration after 15,000 Service
My wife's 2013 ES350 now vibrates and has a noisy idle while in gear after the 15k service. The dealer said they can't find a problem even though the service writer acknowledged the hard idle.
I have an 05 ES with 116k and it idles great.
My daughter has an IS 250 that had idle problems and then died. It was repaired gratis because of the valve spring issue. Is this also a problem on the newer ES models?
