Consumer Description

THERE ARE NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO FAILURE. I DIDN'T EXPERIENCE THE SYMPTOM WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR. THE CAR HAD 71 MILES AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. I STARTED EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM BETWEEN 200-250 MILES. FAILURE: THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES SHAKES MILDLY TO VIOLENTLY WHEN THE IGNITION IS ON AND THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK OR NEUTRAL. I SERVICED THE VEHICLE WITH VOLKSWAGEN AND THEY SAID THIS IS NORMAL. *NM
