I could barely feel a vibration on my leg from the center console in gear at a stop light.

I could see how that would cause concern if it was coming through the steering wheel excessively.

Is the center console also acting up?

LD is is at around 21,000 miles or so. Maybe one of the most battle tested driven Imps.

( I just hit 3,300 after 11 months!!)

I'm sitting at 17,XXX miles after about 12.5 months. Can't say that my wife has noticed any vibration in the wheel, nor have I during the four monthly or so that I have been in the country to drive it. I took it in for the recall on the power steering or whatever a couple weeks back when I was home and things did feel a bit more responsive after.

A lot of these newer cars are coming out with a little rougher idles (it's been going on for a few years now actually). There will always be something that someone will be very peculiar about, especially with a 30K+ car, and they have all right to be. But it is also very difficult to diagnose these types of issues. Being your dealer just gave up on it is not right in my opinion as I happen to work at a dealership myself. We had a lady come in for a rear seat in a Yukon Denali that was "clicking" from the second row while driving. We never heard it ourselves but replaced the entire seat back for her. A few days later after getting it back she traded it in for a Suburban lol. At our dealership we do our best to be patient with and take car of the customer. There are just somethings that are harder, as in my example, to handle. Lol.

well i've been told they have a vibration analyzer they could use to prove its within spec or not but they said no it cannot be used for that determination. and i'm now starting to feel it in the floor a bit so when i go to the 2nd dealer hopefully it gets even worse
