Anyone else had this happen?
I was on the highway and had just gotten up to speed. I put the car in 5th gear (going about 65 mph) and all of a sudden the car started shaking badly. The steering wheel was shaking so bad my arms were shaking holding onto it. It did this until I came to a stop light and stopped the car. It hasn't happened again since (this was 2 days ago). I have only had the car 4 weeks and it only has about 1700 miles on it. Anyone else experienced this??

Sorry can't say that's ever happen to me. I use to have a Ford Ranger that at times when pulling up to a stop sign it acted like it was going to jump out of gear. I heard that the clutch was still adjusting but I don' t know for sure.

That thing would be going back to the dealer if it were me!!!!

Have you taken it bback to the dealer to have them check the front end?

Almost sounded like a wheel balance issue but not with the strong vibration and it not happening again. I would have the dealer go through it very carefully. Something is not right.

+1.... Have it checked at the dealer. Problem is that if it only happened once, they may not be able to reproduce the problem.

Yea that's what I am afraid of. I had that problem when I had a 99 Cougar. It would do weird crap like this and when I took it to the dealer they never could recreate the problems. I have to take it in in 2 weeks for oil change/tire rotation so I will mention it when I go. I don't expect them to find anything but it's worth a try. Thanks!

Yeah, I hate possesed cars man. They just do some random SH$% and you tell the dealer and they are like hmmmm it doesnt do it for us.
