Default steering wheel vibration at idle

I have had a minor issue with this intermittant vibration at stop lights. I will be waiting for the light to turn and I will feel a slight vibration in the steering wheel and sometimes the door panel. Its very minor but is annoying and has been around since the first month I had the car. Anyone have this problem???? Did you get it resolved??? How???? Thanks for your help guys.



PS HAPPY HOLIDAYS

I feel the vibration also but it is barely noticable on my car. The one thing that was noticiable was that the vibration was causing the door to rattle. It took them 3 visits and on the last visit 9 days to figure it out but the door was not tight enough. No more rattle but the vibration is still there, it doesn't bother me.

I feel a vibrationin the steering wheel when I start from a dead stop and slowing accelerate. I disappears when I hit around 20mph. Again, its only if I accelerate slowing from a dead stop.

i get a slight vibration in the steering wheel, but I think it's because the engine is cold, and it's cold outside, so the engine is idling faster than normal until the engine heats up. after the engine warms up, the vibration goes away. i have the AWD...with stock everything.

I am visiting LA for the holidays and the crappy highways just allowed the dreaed dash rattle to rear its ugly head agai. I am gonna take her in for the dash rattle again and have them take a look at the vibration in the wheel at idle. I mentioned it before and they told me that they could not reproduce the vibration
