04 33k Miles Engine Stalls Exhaust Pipes Shake and Putter

I've had my car for 3 years now with relatively no problems. Few weeks ago I noticed a puttering noise from the exhaust causing the car to severely shake even just by looking at the exhaust pipes with the car in park you could see them vibrating uncontrollably. Then the engine started to stall when stopped. I took it in and they replaced plugs and the engine mounts. A week and half later the car stalls again. Took it in this morning and this is what my report says "found spark plug wire not securing on leading spark plug" Anyway, I drove away and got home and the problem is back.

Has anyone experienced any of these conditions or maybe all of them:

Car stalls when stopped
Exhaust makes a puttering noise like it’s clogged
The exhaust pipes shake uncontrollably causing in turn the car to shake (I am assuming the exhaust is the cause)

Any ideas?

Get the recall done.

If you unplugged they battery. That would be it but only for short time.

So, get the recall done.

Which recall are you referring to? According to the dealership it was my understanding I had everything done. Maybe they're missing one?
