Violently Shaking!!!
 
I was pulling out of the grocery store parking lot tonight and all of a sudden the car starts shaking bad. The engine got a real deep tone and the rpms started fluttering all over the place. I only live 1/2 mile from the store so I forced it home to my garage. The car would barely move but it got me home. The steering wheel was shaking the hell out of my hands. And the engine was making a horrible ratteling noise. This will be my 23rd trip to the dealer for problems. I cant take it anymore! The warrenty runs out in 3 months and I dont want to take any more chances. This thing has got to go! Anyone want to buy this piece of shit!:icon_no2:

swoope... good to see your still around this place. Whats up with the 8 year 100k? Something I missed in the past year?

Violently shaking... maybe your car is having a seizure. (sorry I couldn't resist)

And this happened suddenly, on startup? Weird. Is it an automatic? Ever had your cat replaced? How old are your plugs and coils?

Sorry for your bad luck with the car. But as swoope said, they extended the warranty to 100k (on the engine only.)
