I have a brand new 2023 ST and while I’m in park or idling, I’ve noticed a big vibration. Anyone else have this issue?

Nope it’s literally a vibration in park on flat surface or idling. I know it has a giant engine, but there’s no need for the vibration on a new vehicle.. and it feels like it’s coming from the right side. Perhaps something is loose. Off to the dealership on a brand new SUV.. geeer

It's really not a big engine in comparison, so that's not a reason. It shouldn't vibrate like that in park especially. Search for vibration on this forum. Seen various topics on that. One recently with a TSB for motor mounts.

Thank you. I saw the forums about the vibration. It’s great information. And I will speak with service and see what they say.

Any update on your vibration noise from the dealer?
I haven’t had a chance to take it in yet. I’m kinda pissed off that this is a brand new car and I have to deal with it to be honest. But I will update you as soon as I get answers. Thanks for checking in!

I am getting frustrated as well for a first time Ford owner. Just had left side cat replaced and now the right side cat is cracked. Yours should have the new version installed already. Steering wheel was replaced as heating steering wheel module melted the entire module. (You may not even have the heated wheel as it could have been deleted) My drivers seat is creaking and cracking like the floors of a house built in 1800s and car vibrates at idle probably due to them poorly installing my left side cat I assume... Hopefully this is it and I enjoy it after those get fixed a few weeks. Only have 20k miles on it........
Ahhh I’m sorry yo hear this! My carpet under the drivers seat is all jacked up and it needs to be fixed as well. I do have the heated steering wheel, but luckily haven’t had an issue with it. Ford definitely could have done better with the interior materiel being that it’s a $60k car…mine only has 1250 miles on it. I’m making a list of things wrong and I’ll give it to service to fix.

Ok, finally got around to making an appointment for the major/minor issues I’m having so far.. I’ll keep you updated once they figure out what they’re gonna do.

Same problem with mine but if it can help someone or give any hints, it does not happen when the drive mode is on ECO
