Default Need Help!! Car Messed Up.

Sorry for the caps, but I need to get your attention.

My car shakes when I accellerate at full throttle. When I drive normally, everything is OK. I can even accellerate slowly to 200 km/h and it's OK. But once I put the pedal to the medal it starts to shake.

The shaking is similar to a flat tire or when you rotors are warped (not a super strong shaking but very noticeable). I checked my tire pressure and everything was OK.

What is weird is that it just occured all of a sudden. I wasn't abusing the car (no 0-XX tests.. I went through one clutch already and since then I haven't done any sudden starts, rolling or otherwise).

Does anyone know what the problem might be? I really don't want to get to the dealer and have another fight about the warranty.

Thanks

Rob

The shaking seems to be coming from the rear.

Anyone responding would only be guessing. Take it to the dealer or an independent mechanic. Don't continue to drive it; as, it may simply make matters worse.

It could be as simple as one of your tires not being balanced correctly, but I'd take it to the dealer to make sure it's not something more serious.
