This starting happening a few hours ago. On my way home from work, I was at a stop light, then I turned to have the car some gas and start to feel tons of vibration. It keeps happening but i feel it the most when I give the car gas. What is the problem?

Hi,

You are saying that the vehicle is vibrating all the time even at idle not moving? Most than likely this is a misfire or a vacuum leak. Do you have a check engine light?

Give these two guides a read and let me know what you think. If something sounds like your issue, let me know and we can dig further into the solution.

Good afternoon,

This sounds like a CV joint in one of the axles is failing. When there is pay in the joint, it will give a vibration on acceleration.

I attached the procedure for replacing the axle shafts below along with some guides.
