I have an AT and was pressing the accelerator lightly to keep up with the slow pace of the traffic. Once I let off the accelerator to roll to a stop, the car would start to lunge forward and shake.

I thought maybe this was normal for the car as I haven't driven it in traffic before... However when the traffic opened up I hit the gas and got nothing.... the car started to shake and buck violently...

At this point I pulled over and shut the car off... When I turned it back on it drove fine....

Is this a one time freak occurrence? Anyone have any idea as to what this can be? Almost feels like the transmission is shifting gears insequentially.

Has anyone experienced something similar? I know if I bring it to the dealer I won't be able to recreate the problem... I think I will drive it tomorrow to work to see how things go.

The car literally has 100 miles on it...:mad:

Just wondering what temps. your seeing (engine temps.) when this happens?

I believe I have the same problem that TheWeatherman had in his FX35 in the first video of this thread:

The only problem is, when I got on the Z hard when it entered this low rev mode it crapped out on me (had to pull over, turn engine off and start it again)
Would a reflash help?

The jerking when coming to a stop seems to be par for the course (I have found other posts in this forum mentioning it).

Took it in for service today, dealer reset all he could.

Also filled what I could with 93 octane... Let's see if this goes away.

Have you changed your gas station? They may have crap in their fuel, bad tanks who knows. Trying a different brand fuel might help, too, you never know. G/L
