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
I PURCHASED MY VW 3.6 4MOTION PASSAT WITH 71 MILES. WHEN THE VEHICLE REACHED 200 TO 250 MILES, THE ENGINE STARTED SHAKING WHEN GENTLY APPLYING BRAKES AT SLOW SPEEDS. I ALSO EXPERIENCE THIS WHEN THE GEAR IS IN DRIVE AND THEIR IS NO GAS BEING APPLIED. I HAVE SERVICED THE VEHICLE WITH VOLKSWAGEN TWICE AND THEY STATE THAT THIS IS NORMAL BEHAVIOR. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS THROUGH A INTERNET FORUM AND DISCOVERED THAT NOT ALL OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE TYPE THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCE THIS SYMPTOM. THE SHAKING TOPIC CAN BE FOUND AT THE FOLLOWING URL.
