Could be a slight idle misfire. The first step is a scan tool diagnostic code check. Is the check engine light on? Seems unlikely for a 2021, but if you got unlucky or your driving style is quite aggressive, another possibility is faulty engine/transmission mounts. I’m guessing you have an idle misfire caused by an overly learn mixture. You might ask your shop to also check the fuel trims as well w/their scan tool equipment. ---
