Can you all try something for me...

The next time you are in your TSX and driving and you are already in drive and are at a red light or something, release the brake really slowly. Release the brake all the way to the point where you are barely pushin on the break and hold it there for a few seconds before you take your foot completely of brake. My car seems to vibrate at this point where i'm slightly still holdin onto the brake, but barely. The car jerks back and forth. Are any of you guyz experiencing this?

Shuddering is what I meant. I just couldn't find the right word so I said it jerks back and forth. This seems kind of abnormal for a brand new car.

Yes, I've also noticed this. It seems to happen more when you're on an uphill. I was first suspicious about my brakes but I think it's something to do with the engine. Anyone has a clue on this ?

So, are there only three of us (coolio, falco, and ::TSXLOVER:: ) having this problem ? I hope this is just about that idle RPM at ~750.

This is an automatic, right? If so it's normal and it's the automatic transmission transitioning between being stopped and going.

If it's a stick, then you should be worried.
