Started my car this morning after snow poured down yesterday and when I drove off the steering was shaking badly. At first I thought it was snow buildup rubbing on the tires but after 10min of driving it was still bad. Then all of the sudden it went to normal. Could it have been the steering fluid being frozen or what? Never experienced this in any other vehicle. If it does it again it is going to the dealership. Anyone else experiencing this?

Often in the mornings, first start of the day only- Starts hard and idles rough. As soon as some heat shows up on the temp gauge, it smooths out and goes away. GO FIGURE

You probably had snow and slush in the rims. It builds up and the car rides like it is unbalanced. Once it melts or comes loose, you are fine. Did you ever see "My Cousin Vinny"?? In the beginning they get "mud in the tires". Same concept.
