Vibration during cold start

aenflex · 11-14-2012, 11:36 AM

Hi everyone -
I have an 07 coupe, MT. I've owned the car for a little over a year. As the temperature has dropped I've noticed my car vibrating when I start it up in the morning. The vibrations go away after the car warms, and there are no rpm spikes. I've just had a transmission service, cooling system flush, fuel system cleaning and oil change, all within the last few months, all at the Honda dealership. Since I've owned the car I've taken epic care of it.
So, is it just the weather? Bad motor mounts?
I'm not hugely auto saavy, and I'm flat broke. A little worried.
Thanks much for any advice/info.
Alysan

I had the SAME problem with my '07 Civic. I brought it in for multiple issues as there was also a grinding/rubbing sound when I would back up. Turns out a wheel mount failed and the dealer replaced it under warranty. It fixed the vibrations during cold starts AND the grinding/rubbing sounds. ^__^ Hope that helps!

I had the same issue with my 08 coupe AT. When I would start my car in the morning, my car would shake. I put it in drive, the shaking and noise went away. I put it in reverse, the shaking and noise returned. Come to find out it was indeed a bad motor mount. I took my car to my local Honda dealership to have it replaced for about $480.
