My 2008 LE V6 shakes when stoped in drive.It only has 10K miles.You could expect it at 100K not just 10K .I wonder what`s next.

Have it check at a dealer.

N.E.O.

let me see if i can help.. it shakes when you hit the breaks on drive? or if you have the gear on drive with your foot on the brake?

if it its shaking when you hit the brakes while driving its your break rotors.. the later i dont know what it is.. either its an O2 sensor telling your ECU it has enough air therefore less idle that makes your car shake..

It only happens when stopped in drive.Goes away when put in neutral gear.

whats your rpm when its on D?

My rpm is about 750 .It is the same in D and in N.Seems that trans is putting stress on the engine when switched into drive.

Did you have an oil change done recently? Have the air filter checked?

N.E.O.

I am avutally having the same problem. WHen i took it to the dealer, they took it for test and told me that the problem did not resurface. But as soon as i got in and got tio a red light, the car started to shake again. I had my oil changed, and I am running withthe K&N air filter, but still it does this.

The only differnce is that I have a I4 2007 LE model....

The 09' V6 has an Active Control front engine mount which would help dampen some of the engine vibration. The I4s don't have this type of mount, so it may be a different concern.

N.E.O.

I have to agree with New Echo Owner's first response. Take it back to the dealer. You have a 3 year 36,000 miles warranty. Use it.

ur idle RPM is too low.

try disconnecting the battery for a couple of minutes then reconnecting it. The car will relearn how to idle and ur shaking should go away.

usually its more noticeable for I4's , but is your A/C on ?

***kaashifv*** · 11-09-2008, 12:51 PM

Nope on mine the A/C is not running, and when it is the shaking is more noticeable..

@Pricess - So if I disconnect the battery, it may help to correct the problem? And i assume i am only disconnecting the positive terminal? And would you say 5 mins would be suffiient time to allow the camry to relearn?

You always disconnect the Negative cable first when disconnecting battery.

see.. i have a SIMILAR problem..
my steering wheel shakes a bit when i'm
going a bit fast and i brake too fast/hard.
i've learned how to control it by not braking
so hard or so fast but, whever i'm in a hurry
and i do brake a bit hard/fast it goes get annoying.
can anyone tell me why my CAM does this?
