I own a 2007 Ion. Many times when I am stopped at a light the engine will begin to idle rough. Then I will hear something vibrating either in the engine compartment or behind the dashboard. If I put the car in neutral, the rough idle and the noise instantly goes away

What you have is a broken engine mounting. To verify this
- You need another person with you inside the car
- pop the hood
- start engine
- press accelerator all the way down (YES LEAVE CAR IN PARK AND HAND BREAKS UP)
- You'll notice the engine pop violently this is cause of one the mountains broken
- PUT CAR IN DRIVE , HAND BREAKS UP, press the brake all the way down then the accelerator, you will notice the engine push up, back then down violently,, Broken mountain
- Put car in reverse, press brake all the way down then the accelerator engine will move violently again.
- Replace broken engine mounts.
in idle while the car is in drive it will vibrate, in neutral no cause the pressure is released. Also when changing gears , the engine will move violently when the engine mount is brokenReplace Broken Mounts.
