When car is sitting still and in park or neutral there is a vibration thru out car @ 2200 RPM's. when vehicle is in drive the vibration occurs at 48-51 mph. This vibration is worse when the vehicle is in motion. Two different dealerships say this is a "normal characteristic" of this car. Both dealerships have agreed there is a vibration but say "they can do nothing about it". they have also said that some of these cars vibrations are worse than mine.
