Hey all :) I am having a real issue with a fairly dramatically increased level of engine vibration and a frequent RPM dip that feels like the engine will stall but it doesn't. Could the vibration be a motor mount issue?? Could that contribute to the idle roughness issue? Thanks for any input!!

Did this happen suddenly or has it been gradual?

If it was suddenly, check for any vacuum leaks (did you replace the air filter recently?). I had this happen on the Tribeca and it turned out that the airbox wasn't sealed correctly.

If it's gradual and there's a lot of shaking & increased NVH, it could definitely be the motor mounts, but it could be something else, like rough idle caused by bad plugs or wires.

Any Check Engine Lights/codes?
