That's not a norm! If it's shaking really hard take it back to the dealer for warranty work...good luck!

maybe when you ordered a chocolate "shake" your car took it literally?

It happens to me from time to time. Next time it happens see if your RPM's bounce. There is no fix for it.

I have the EXACT same problem. Once in a while, maybe once a month my car "shutters" while I'm stopped at a stop sign or stop light. Usually when you are in Drive and idling, you should be at around 700-900 RPM. When my car shutters it drops below 600 for a brief moment. It feels like the car is about to die, much like how a manuals engine will die if the RPM is too low.

Is this a known problem?

Is there an automatic choke on the car, like they had on Carburators?
Sounds like the air/fuel mix is getting screwed up at idle.

In-n-Out is great!

Thanks for the links Little E
