Q: my car shakes while im driving, usually once the car warms up

asked by on September 09, 2017

My car sharked to shake on the way home the other day from the mountains.the problem seemed to stop going short distances but will become worse once the car is fully warmed up. I don't believe it is a tire problem because the car does not shake if i put in neutral but once i get back on the gas, it vibrates really hard. The vibration only happens when the car is fully warm and i press on the gas. Please Help
