I have a 2010 Dodge Charger SXT w/ 48K. When I am sitting at a light there is a slight vibration in the seat. But, it has a rough idle, the car vibrates/shakes once leaving the break until about 900 RPM's. I can leave the break and go straight to the gas pedal, if the RPM's are under 1000, then it shakes. If the car is still, has slight vibration. No check engine light at all. Did replace coil on cylinder 1 as I got engine code 0301. No more codes now. Any help or guidance would help. Possible brake issue, since no check engine light.

Thank you! I will give this try and let you know. Appreciate the quick reply. I have been battling this for 2 months now. This started after a week of owning it, sadly.

Hello. I had those areas checked and cleaned. The rough idle still occurs. I was told it could be possible carbon build up in engine. I've done seafoam treatments. I will put some in my vacuum line soon. I also got a Diablo sport tuner. Raised my idle up. By 200 making it around 800 idle in Drive. There isn't any shaking, only normal v6 engine vibrations. So. Not sure if the idle was just set too low. There is also a throttle boost. It goes by %. I wasn't sure if that needed to be increased since the idle was increased. Any further help advice would be wonderful and much appreciated. Thanks! !

Thank you. Well I just did the tune a few days ago. I didn't have it before. Do you suggest raising the throttle boost?

Drive it for a while first and read your instructions on that the company that makes may or may not recommend it. We don't know a lot about those unless we have dealt with them.

Idle has gotten so much worse. It no hesitates, like pressing on a brick wall to accelerate. And it jerks and shakes. Check engine light finally came on with p0301. Cylinder 1 misfire. Already changed coil, must be Fuel injector or piston. Will be visiting dealer today. I have powertrain warranty.
