Why is my Kia Sorento engine shaking?

I recently noticed that my Kia Sorento's engine has been shaking while idling. It is not a consistent shake, but it happens every now and then. I'm concerned that it might be a sign of a bigger issue. Has anyone experienced this before? What could be the cause of the shaking?

Hi Elizabeth, I have experienced this issue before and it can definitely be a cause for concern. In some cases, it could be a sign of an engine misfire or a problem with the fuel system. It would be best to have a mechanic inspect your Kia Sorento to determine the exact cause and address it before it becomes a bigger problem.

I had the same issue with my Kia Sorento and it turned out to be a faulty spark plug. I had it replaced and the shaking stopped. I would recommend getting your spark plugs checked.

It could also be a problem with the engine mounts. If they are worn or damaged, they can cause the engine to shake while idling. Make sure to have them checked as well.
