Consumer Description

WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR WHEN AT A STOP, MY CAR WOULD SHAKE VERY HARD AS IF IT WAS GOING TO TURN OFF. FORTUNATELY, IT NEVER HAS. I WOULD HAVE TO PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL TO STOP THE SHAKING OR IT WOULD STOP ON IT'S OWN AFTER 10-15 SECONDS. DURING THIS TIME, NO LIGHTS HAVE EVER TURNED ON TO INDICATE THERE WAS A PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS IN LATE JULY 2009/ EARLY AUGUST 2009 AND EVER SINCE THEN, IT WOULD HAPPEN AT LEAST 2 TIMES A DAY. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR
