I have not, but get it to your dealer right away. As you're experiencing the vibration in neutral, it is very likely a problem with the engine. There have been some reported issues with a small number of balancers failing, and this sounds like it could be. If left unchecked, the engine could end up with serious damage. The other possibility I can think of is a torque tube failure. I'm not sure if it still rotates while the car is in neutral but again damage up and down the drivetrain will likely result if not repaired. Better safe than sorry - have the car checked asap!
