Your wheels need balancing, did you hit a curb recently?
All the above, except oil, although a out-of-tune rough running engine can cause a vibration.

Not much info given, but here's an idea I haven't seen... you're due for a tune-up. I'll interpret this as "my car shakes when accelerating". I think that a tire problem would be noticable at all speeds, not just when accelerating. If you car is studdering, that is, it is having trouble getting up to speed, it may need new spark plugs and wires (have they EVER been replaced?), a new air filter, or a fuel injector cleaning. Does it get worse if the A/C is on? That would be another indication that the engine simply in need of routine work.
The answer talking about the engine/transmission mounts is also a likely possibility.

If your the first owner of the car it might be a number of things. But if your not the first owner your car may have been in an accident. So what you can do to find out call any local car dealership and ask them for the website where you can check the history of your car. You will need your vin # which is located on the far corner of your dash board (driver side).

The most likely causes, in order- you have one or more tires out of balance, or you have a damaged tire, or one with a broken internal belt. I'd check those first. If that doesn't fix the problem, then you need to have your front end components and alignment checked. Hope this helped.

Along with checking your alignment (9 times out of ten), check to see if all the lug nuts on your wheels are fully tightened. Your wheel may be wobbling because it isn't properly tightened to the rotor. Also, have them check your ball joints, and CV joints.

It is most likely something simple, need new tires, tires need balancing, need alignment. Check the small issues before paying for something extreme.

check your transmission mounts.. one may be possibly broken or worn out and when you accelerate it twists the transmission and drive shaft putting a strain on the motor for a front wheel drive causing vibration or putting a strain on the drive shaft to the rear end and putting a strain on the rear axle causing a vibration.

Sounds like a problem with your wheels or your allignment. It will probably cost you $500 to fix.

Your wheels are probably bent or out of alignement. Take it to a mechanic.

Alignment problem, most likely.
Could also be engine bolts, could be uneven tire tread.
