I know this has been discussed in other posts so far and others have felt the same as I have felt. At this point I wanted to reach out to see if anyone has had their truck to a dealer to have the issue looked at and if so what was the "fix" or "reply" from the dealer as to what it is. Also curious to know how many people have and have not felt the shake. It feels like an engine misfiring on a cylinder when at stops with the HVAC on, whole truck shakes -it's very apparent.

Yup, I just made a thread a few days ago too. Engine shake is a much better description, I called it a cough. My whole stick shift rattles.

I can't be bothered to go to a dealer anymore this year, drive it until something happens. If it IS normal, it's very annoying and it's the first I've ever seen a vehicle do it. It makes the truck sound like it's misfiring like some sort of šŸ’© bucket, not a great impression for people around.

Yeah agree Iā€™m not running to dealer with it yet, Iā€™ll wait for other things, just expecting at this point others may be starting to bring their trucks in for service now.

itā€™s odd out of all the YouTube bashing on the internet - nobody has picked this issue yet ?

I agree pretty odd, especially given a lot of the areas they're reviewing in AC is essential lol. Guess they're gabbing too hard to even notice it

I've felt this as well but it's really not that apparent (at least not in mine).

If you mean the compressor kicking on, yes. I feel it. Not concerned.

Itā€™s not the compressor clicking on - well maybe it is, but it shouldnā€™t shake the whole truck. Any other vehicle Iā€™ve owned the only thing out of the AC compressor is a click noise of the clutch and the idle stepping up, but not a shake that can be felt inside the truck.

Turn your AC off. I bet you do not feel it anymore. I just keep my AC at max so it stays engaged longer.

šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø I know turning off the AC stops the shake. I stated that in my first post. Guess I should also turn up the radio if I hear a differential howl?

Any updates on this issue? I have a 2025 that I just got about 1000 miles ago and I noticed mine does this low idle shake every 45 seconds or so in the AC is on as well. I guess itā€™s normal? Did you ever take it into the dealership?

I did express my concern at a service at the dealership. Got told they compared it to another truck and itā€™s normal. Doesnā€™t mean I like the answer, but seems many notice it.

Ah ok, yeah, mine doesnā€™t shake like crazy, but it is a mild shake that I started to notice recently.

Sounds like same as mine, doesnā€™t mean itā€™s right. Other vehicles I own donā€™t do it.

I havenā€™t noticed anything egregious yet. Engine runs pretty smooth. I run premium fuel, not sure if that makes a difference. Speculating but possibly the advanced timing negates that? Who knows. I imagine if itā€™s something unreasonable there will be a fix in time.
