Description of the problem	While sitting idle for over 45 minutes the car started to vibrate. When i began to drive it shook and did not pick up as it should when driving. When stopped at a traffic light it vibrates worse. I called the dealership to schefule an appointment for january 4,2019 but received a call today (december 31, 3018)to reschedule for january 18,2019. I've researched the internet and found that there are others having the same problem. I am a little leery in driving the car since the dealership doesn't have loaners and i must continue with my day to day living. I am not driving on the interstate with this problem. Stated earlier
