We bought our beautiful ES350 back in May and we love most everything about the car. However I have noticed a fairly pronounced vibration at idle while in gear. I thought it may get better with mileage, but it has not. We are at 2500 miles now. I have seen posts with the previous gen ES about this, but not for the 2013. Just wondering if anyone else notices a vibration especially from the steering wheel at idle in drive. I plan on mentioning it on our first service visit which is coming up in another 2500 miles.
Thanks!
Thanks!

2013 ES350 vibration at idle
I noticed my vibration at idle on my ES350 day two. I have 10k miles and it has not gotten better. My rental of the same car did the same thing. I was expecting whisper quiet from Lexus especially since they addressed the issue with inflate-at-idle motor mounts to reduce vibration below 900 RPM. It's smoother at 80 MPH than zero.

Strange. The only vibration I feel at idle is the seat fan.

I have 2500 miles on my 2013 350 with NO vibration. Smooth as a prom queen's thighs...

Lexus Test Driver
My current 2013 loaner with 2500 miles has a slight vibration at idle. It didn't seem like a problem or as if something was wrong, just the way it's designed. I will say however, the 2012 model idled smoother and my IS250 is downright dead at a stop.

They had mine compare to the loaner and conluded that same vibration occured so no further action 
It is really annoyed when driving a Lexus and having this vibration issue.
The dealership created a TAS case, will that help anything?
