Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: Transmission Jolts While In O/D Around 50 - 70 MPH

My '04 Lariat 4x4 5.4L SCAB w/ 167k miles is giving me problems primarily while in O/D around 50-70 mph. When I lightly lean into the throttle either to slightly increase speed or maintain speed while going up an incline I get some jolting coming from the tranny. It's not a one time jolt when it downshifts but a repetitive jolt while staying in the same gear.

It doesn't happen until the engine is up to normal operating temperature and happens almost exclusively when O/D is engaged. It's thrown a code which I'm going to have pulled today while at lunch (will follow up with the code once I know what it is). When the check engine light has come on I can push the O/D button to go into 3rd gear and it will still shimmy the truck a bit but when I go back into O/D it seems to calm down.

I'm thinking it's s sensor and I'm aware there are a few that talk to the tranny. What could be causing it. It started late last summer but has progressively gotten worse. It's a daily occurrence and road conditions and outside temp don't appear to make it worse or better. One more thing to note is that the jolting is significantly worse when in 4x4 high which makes sense since it's affecting both the front and rear axles assuming it's coming from the tranny.

Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: 2005 - Shakes Aggressively While Driving?

Once in every few days the truck starts to shake aggressively while on the road. Its like going through a very rough gravel road all of a sudden, felt through steering column. I have to pull over and hit the brakes and bring truck to full stop before it goes away. Then it's gone. Any thoughts before I start to take it to mechanic. Is it shock related, brake related, etc??

By the way, my truck model is the 2005 F150 XLT TRITON.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2004 - Running Rough Both At Idle And Driving - Truck Shakes A Lot At Lower RPMs

I have a 2004 SD with 5.4 that is running pretty rough both at idle and driving. Truck shakes a lot at lower rpms. I have a scan tool and had a misfire on cylinder 4 so I replaced the coil and the plug. Also replaced the idle air control valve. Plan on replacing O2 B1 S2. (One of my codes) even after replacing the coil and plug I'm still getting misfire detected from cylinder 4??? Other codes I had were misfire detected on he first 1000 revolutions. That hasn't come back though.

Tiguan :: 2009 SE VW Shakes While Driving

I have a 2009 Tiguan SE 4Motion with a little over 82K miles on it. Hard to pin point exactly but somewhere around 65 - 68K the vehicle started shaking, noticeably but not ridiculously while driving at a decent speed, 50 mph seems to be the speed where it's most notable. I took it to the dealer and they diagnosed it as the tires needed to be replaced. I had the tires replaced a few K later but the shake was the same. I took it back to the dealer who did the basic balance troubleshooting but they were unable to find anything. I pressed them and they did some additional troubleshooting but then I felt like I was wasting my time with that dealer because they started looking at the floor and talking nonsense about road conditions.

I feel the shaking regardless of road surface or speed, noticeable but not violent, 50mph and steady seems to be most noticeable. I feel that it is transmission/drive train related because everything else it could be has been checked or changed but I could be wrong. I feels like it's directly under the vehicle, I have sat in different seats while someone else drove and it doesn't seem to be more noticeable on one side or another. When on the highway going a steady speed on it will increase and decrease seemingly randomly. It hasn't really gotten any worse over the past 15K miles or I would have brought it to a different dealer, but it really bothers me, especially since my Tiguan was so smooth when I bought it.

Camry :: 97 - Shakes On And Off When Accelerating

My 97 Camry shakes when accelerating.

First thing i did was check the trans fluid (automatic). The drip stick showed itself to be very well high above the max fill line for running hot. So i drained the pan, and replaced the fluid with 2.6 QTs as recommended by Haynes auto manual. The dip stick still shows itself to be high and at the same spot as previously. The problem still persist.

I recently have changed the front rotors and brakes how ever i do not feel that would be the cause to the below symptoms.

-Shakes on and off when accelerating while O/D is on.
-When O/D is off occasionally shakes.
-Rarely shakes when manually shifting.
-Shakes often when driving up hills.
-With O/D on, acceleration beyond 60 km is near impossible as it constantly shakes.

Passat (B5) :: New Tires - Car Shakes Slightly When Driving On The Highway

Just had new front tires installed today and drove home. Car felt fine driving at 60 kph. Drove tonight on the highway and felt a bit of shaking. Its not as severe but can be felt sightly. Didn't feel this (slight) shaking with my old worn tires at highway speeds. What could it be? Btw, bought the car used last year at my local dealer and I haven't done an alignment yet since then.

Santa Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: 2011 - Sudden Vibration When Driving / Whole Car Shakes

I am having problems with vibration on my 2011 Santa Fe 2.2 CRDi Premium, 95% of the time the car is fine, but twice now in the last month, out of nowhere, I can be driving along as standard and all the sudden a vibration will hit the whole car out of nowhere, it almost feels as if there is a bleb or defect on one of the tyres, the whole car shakes, but the shake is not coming through the steering wheel, it is the car body that seems to be shaking, if that makes any sense... However, if I pull over, turn off the engine, restart it, and pull away the vibration immediately disappears???

I am totally lost, as it is a occasional occurrence I can not replicate it for the dealer to inspect as it is still under warranty...

Buick - Regal :: Front Passenger Side Shakes When Driving Over 20 MPH

2001 Buick Regal LS 3.8L. When I am driving over 20MPH my front passenger side of the car starts to shake. This shaking causes the steering wheel to shake as well. I am not sure what the cause is and if it something that a novice can fix. The front brakes are new with little to no wear on my rotors. I have rotated my tires to see if the shaking stopped or moved to the rear of the car. After the tire rotation the shaking persisted. If I turn the steering wheel sharply I hear a squealing noise. I do not know if that is related or not.

Subaru - Forester :: 2003 - Hard Time Shifting Into 2nd And When It Does (at About 40MPH) It Jolts

I bought my 2003 Forester a year ago from a friend with 90,000. I love this car, I put a new timing belt on it and off we went. The car worked fantastically from January to August 2011. One night I was driving to watch a show and rather then shifting into gear, it jolted. Pulled over, checked fluids and so on, car worked normally for a while. It started doing this more frequently. It has a hard time shifting into 2nd and when it does, (at about 40MPH) it jolts and same thing for third and so on. I took it to my mechanic but it never misbehaved for him sop I took it back and drove some more and dropped it off at a transmission shops. They get it to do what it does, ran many tests, decided it was the throttle sensor, replaced it, car worked great for two weeks and then reverted back to this behavior. Took it in again three times but they can't seem to figure it out. Anyway, I have taken the car to five different mechanics and no one can quite figure it out. So my car, the Diva, as I like to refer to her, continues to jolt to shift gears. If I put it into reverse it will shift normally until I stop again or slow way down. I am stumped and sad because I love my car. It now has 101,000 and I want it to be kind to me.

Camry :: 2002 Toyota V6 Shakes While Accelerating Between 20 - 60 Mph

It's a 2002 Toyota Camry, v6. We just got brand new tires on it. The car shakes really bad between 20 - 60 mph as long as the accelerator is applied. After 60 mph the shaking mellows out and it seems normal while the accelerator is applied. Between 20 and 60 mph while the car is shaking, if I remove my foot from the accelerator the shaking stops and car is normal. To sum up, the shaking only seems to be there while the accelerator is applied. Is there a part I can replace that is relatively simple to do...If so, what part is it?. I'm not too be with cars. I've done some pretty big jobs following repair manuals.
