AT ABOUT 25 MPH OR 1500-2000 RPM THE VAN SHUDDERS OR SHAKES. I'VE SEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FOR THIS ON VARIOUS INTERNET FORUMS. THE VAST MAJORITY ATTRIBUTE THIS TO THE TRANSMISSION. UNDER MILD ACCELERATION THE VAN WILL SHAKE OR SHUDDER WITH A FAIR AMOUNT OF FORCE. THIS OCCURS FREQUENTLY AND IS DISCONCERTING TO LOSE EVEN A SMALL AMOUNT OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLES MOVEMENT. DEALER TOLD ME TO CHANGE THE GAS. NO RESOLUTION YET. *TR
