I have a 2017 Jeep Patriot Sport 2.0L. My issue is when from cold start the vehicle vibrates like a massage chair while in park and in gear. I understand the vehicle is warming up and it even does it at normal temp. It feels worse when you turn the A/C on. I had all motor/trans mount replaced but didn't do anything. Could it be the torque converter that's causing it? Anything helps.

Probably hasn't been replaced but wouldn't it cause a misfire if its spark plugs? Also no codes

No, probably not.
Bad plugs = misfire. A misfire probably wouldn't throw a code unless it was pretty bad and persisted, but a misfire probably would cause a vibration, i.e. engine shaking.
Had the same problem, replaced front axel. It got better but still wasn't great. Replaced the steering rack to solve problem.

Try doing a transmission oil/fluid change. I did two of them within a weeks time frame and oh em Gee it makes driving it like brand new again. I changed my plugs and it kinda helped a tad with vibration, I feel like the real culprit is the combination of both the spark plugs and need for a fluid change that makes it vibrate so much.

I have the same kind of Jeep and mine does the same thing. Haven't figured it out yet

Wouldn't cause his vibration if the vehicle wasn't moving. Any shake at startup sitting in park leads to the engine alone.

No it vibrates when I'm moving.

If it's only when moving then it's more likely drive line (cv joint, wheel bearing, etc.), tires/rims/wheel balance, or alignment related.
