Car suddenly drives different (Auto)? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Check all fluids, dealers can be dumb, you might not have any auto t fluid if you feel a change that low in km.

So the car shaking when slowly stopping isn't normal?

Were you driving in manual when it did that?

Nope I mostly drive in auto but I have flicked the paddles once or twice to downshift.

Sometimes mine shakes a little when downshifting from 2nd to 1st. I think it does it if you're going too slow. Disconnect your negative battery terminal for 5-10 min to reset computer maybe that will help?

Definitely will try, how do I do that though?

Also yes when I'm braking with very little pressure and moving slowly it is noticeable.

On your battery there is a post with a red cap that is positive + The other post is the negative - . Disconnect that terminal. Honestly if you don't know where it is you should probally just take it to dealer.

Can I take it off with an average spanner kit?

Figure out how to repeat the behaviour, then take the car to the dealer and demonstrate it to them. If you don't know how to pull a cable from a battery terminal you probably shouldn't be working on the car. It is new with a warranty, use it.

Weeber, this is pretty much the equivalent of webmding yourself cause you have a headache and then freaking out cause you think you have a brain tumor.

The car is extremely sensitive to temp, break-in, road conditions. Your observations could indicate a problem or it could be nothing at all.

Since you only have 93 miles on the car, my money is on shitty gas. Hurry up and finish the tank, fill it with premium gas and see if the problem goes away. Don't waste your time ghosting the dealership or freaking out about CEL errors.

You 'think' the wheels are fine? Did you actually check them or waiting for one to fall off?

A separated belt in a tire will also cause the side to side shimmy at very low speed.

Weeber · 10-15-2013, 07:55 PM

I've booked in for a check up at my dealers, we'll see how it goes.
