Engine Misfire or Mount Issue Causing Whole Car Shake at Idle
A 2019 Honda Civic shaking at idle, with vibration felt throughout the whole car, typically points to an engine misfire, worn engine mounts, or a fuel/air delivery problem. The shaking is most noticeable when the engine is under minimal load (idle) and can worsen with accessories like A/C.
