Hi All, I promise, this is the last paranoid question I am going to ask for today. Has anyone had an issue when you turn off your car, using the knob, the car shakes, it is more a noticeable vibration that feels like a shake, while the components are being turned off? Most of the time, it is a very smooth shut off, no vibrations what so ever, but there have been times where you can really feel the vibration through the car, imagine the car shivering for a second or two. I don't use the auto start/stop feature a lot because of my driving times being more in rush hour traffic. Just wanted to see if you guys felt the same thing.

On a side note, i turn off everything before shutting the car off, AC and radio.

No, I don't have the air suspension. I mainly have to turn off the feature when I park my car in the garage since it is so tight and I have to make sure I am not hitting anything on the side walls, so at times I need to stop which triggers the auto shut off.

You right, I expect a little vibration, but this is quite noticeable. It doesn't happen all the time. Typically when I turn off the car, I don't feel anything or it is very subtle and feels normal. Just once in awhile I get this vibration that shakes the car and you wonder, what the hell was that, because it feels out of the ordinary.

I just noticed my car doing this yesterday after I picked it up from the dealer. They had just finished installing the November update and repairing a blown amplifier. The car has never shivered nor vibrated like this before in the 6 months that we've had it. Mine also does not do this each time I turn it off. In fact, it hasn't done it at all today, but it was really noticeable all day yesterday. I was going to give it a few days and see if I needed to adjust some of the Individual Drive Mode settings (and see if anyone on here has experienced the same thing) before calling the service department again.

Mine does this periodically. It feels like a light dieseling if youve ever had a car that would run after being shut off. Not that it keeps running but the vibration is very similar. It is almost like there is a dis-synchrony in the shut down order.
