Hello all,
I live in Boston and we are having the worst snow on record. Ugh.
I just traded my 2005 Infiniti G35X which I loved, to get a 2011 IS 250 AWD with 25K miles. The G was having a lot of issues at only 75K miles and was becoming a money pit. Hated parting with it.

My question on the 2011 IS 250 is:
This morning when I was turning the car around in a parking lot to do a complete 360 circle, doesn't matter, right circle or left circle, there is a shudder in the wheels somewhere. I don't visually see any snow or ice and and kicked out what little I could see in the wheelwell. Is it maybe ice that is stuck somewhere else that only a car wash will get at? Just worried cuz I just bought the car Sunday and before I go panicking I thought I'd ask you all.

Thanks,
Mary in Boston

I figured it out. I drove the car on clean pavement and it was fine. I think it was just slipping on some ice when that choppy feel was there. THanks.
