why Does My Car Vibrate When Turning on the Ac?

[MiloZayn]

That usually happens to me when there's an issue with the serpentine belt or the tensioner. But then again, it could potentially be a number of under-the-hood issues. You may possibly want to get the Ac unit checked.

<blockquote> first off </blockquote>, don't panic too much. It may be as simple as your Ac compressor drawing power from your engine, which can occasionally lead to a minor vibration when you turn it on. Nonetheless, it's invariably best to consult a mechanic to be on the safe side.

here's a rapid list of potential reasons:

1. serpentine belt or tensioner issue
2. ac compressor drawing engine power
3. engine mount being worn-out or damaged
4. loose Ac brackets

each of those are possible problems. It's a good idea to have a professional mechanic check out your vehicle if you're experiencing this concern.
