Vibration when accelerating

I have a 2000 Dodge Neon and the problem im having is that when i accelerate to about 10 to 25 miles an hour is vibrates really bad in the fromt end. I thought it was the CV joints but no difference. I also tried power braking it to see if it could be a bad motor mount but still nothing what else could i try to fix this problems?

    Is the vibration only there while you accelerate or is it there while coasting too.
    Is the engine misfiring under load (while accelerating) this will also give you a bad vibration particularly in east west mounted engine drivetrain assys. Could be as simple as a proper tune up.
    Spark plugs often give this symptom.
    Also check the tyres on front by jacking the wheel off the ground and rotate wheel looking for any bubble or flat spot on tread this can give this symptom too, its very simple thing but often overlooked.

Loud Vibration / Sound Under Acceleration And Starting Engine.

Get the engine mounts checked. A bad mount may allow part of the engine to lie on a body or frame part, allowing engine vibrations to become very loud. Torquing of the engine (under load) can cause the same type problems.

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE NEON 2.0 SXT MODEL. IT HAS 91,000 MILES AND HAS A SEVERE VIBRATION WHEN I ACCELERATE WE CHANGED THE MOTOR MOUNTS DID A FULL TUNE UP AND SEVERAL THINGS TO STOP THIS NOTHING SEEMS TO HELP...

We are looking to buy the same 2005 Dodge Neon 2.0 SXT that has 150,000 miles and it does the same thing - vibrates at acceleration and lacks power. We've been told by the buyer that a mechanic said the "Harmonic "Balancer" needs to be replaced. We are hoping to be able to bring the car to a mechanic tomorrow to find out what it is and if it is a major or minor repair (which will determine if we purchase the car or not!).

I have 2003 Dodge Durango and when I accelerate above 40mph there is a vibration. When I remove foot from gas the vibration stops. Can coast at speeds with no vibration.

How many miles on your Durango? This could be a failing U joint on either driveshaft. Could also be a ties out of balance or going bad.

Since the vibration goes away when coasting, I am voting for a driveline issue.
