Vibration in engine area

Hey RJPRZYBYLSKI,

Do you have the check engine light on?

I have found a TSB (technical service bulletin) which may be applicable.

I have attached the first description, it is only applicable to certain vehicle VIN's

Toyota TSB 0312-17

It looks like you may be out of power-train warranty but i would still say it would be worth contacting a Toyota dealer to see if the TSB is applicable. If it is applicable you may be able to get Toyota to cover it as it is a known issue.

The repair includes replacing the torque converter and reprogramming the PCM.

If the issue is not as described in the TSB and you have a check engine light on the next stage would be to read the codes. Guide below:

Hope that helps, any further questions please do not hesitate to ask.

Regards, Joe

Hello,

This could be a motor mount that is starting to fail. Motor mounts are usually attached the engine and then to the frame with durable rubber in between. When a motor mount fails the rubber usually is what fails from normal wear and tear over time. I have included a few links for you to go to down below.
