Lol.. Welcome to the world of the vibrating Pathfinder! I questioned this when I bought my 2012 and apparently most if not all have that idle vibration its normal and according to someone on this site that did extensive research on the subject it is from a poor design of the engine mounts. Frankly it drove me nuts when I first got my Pathy but I just accept it as normal now. It's definitely not the best idleing car/truck I have ever owned.

Likely, it is not an engine problem but rather the a/c compressor "wobble" when it's cycling on/off. Mine does it, there's multiple other posts about it as well.
Turn you a/c off and see if you still have the issue...
