Shudder
« on: 29 June 2010, 10:20 »

When i was driving yesterday i felt a shudder below 2k RPM anytime i accelerated, it seemed to be worst in the higher gears.

Yesterday was the first time it rained since i got the car so i thought it might be something to do with the wet road surface but the shudder is still there slightly today (which is a dry day)

Anybody know what might be causing this?

Could be the traction control system kicking in, are you getting a yellow light flash on the dash?

Could be something loose in the drive train, possible on a drive shaft. As already recommended, get it back to dealer asap.
