Three months ago I got a 2017 corolla le. It was a used rental from Hertz Car Sales (controversial choice I know...). I love the car so far except for this nuisance.
So I didn't notice this during the test drive because it is very subtle, but a couple days after buying it I did notice that there is always a slight vibration (or "shimmy") at ~18-22 mph only while accelerating (super smooth while slowing down or braking). I feel it in my legs and calves, but my passengers say they can never really feel it. When I am not the one driving it is more difficult to pick up for sure. It is worse while turning a corner and going uphill - but only slightly worse.
It vibrates at what I think would be like 10-12 hertz and it is very sinusoidal, not like a bumpy road. Although a bumpier road will "mask" this rumble.
There is no real issue in terms of comfort, and the vibration hasn't really gotten worse. I am just paranoid that it will eventually develop into a bigger issue down the line once I pass the 60k mile mark (currently at 39100 miles).
I have recently done the recent JSD service campaign, which didn't affect much at all.
Is this something to be worried about?
