Ford Escape excessive shaking at idle in drive and reverse with no error codes on Ford Escape

Some Ford Escape owners report experiencing excessive shaking at idle specifically in drive and reverse, but not in park or neutral. This shaking may be attributed to a faulty motor mount, which can vibrate against the frame due to engine torque when the vehicle is in gear. Additionally, worn or deteriorated spark plugs can lead to an uneven power supply to the engine, resulting in vibrations at idle. Some owners also note that a vacuum leak, particularly noticeable at warm idle, can cause the engine to run lean, contributing to the shaking sensation. It is recommended that owners have a thorough inspection of the motor mounts, spark plugs, and vacuum system to effectively diagnose and resolve these issues.
