Shaky/rough Engine Idle: M271

It finally happened: My first major problem with this car. Last night after I started the car, it shook like a classic V8 muscle car, and at the same time, the CEL came on. Meanwhile the engine electronics worked its butt off to keep the car from stalling (btw it never stalled). As I opened the hood, I saw the engine shake violently, while a group of people drove by and I could see one of the passenger murmured “should of got a BMW...” I think he really meant Toyota or Honda. After doing some searches, I hope it has something to do with that $12 pvc hose recall, but I am no mechanic, so I will take it to the stealership tomorrow, and hope for the best.

If you had similar experiences, I like to hear from you. Thanks.

Update: I got my car back from the dealership today. It was the damn hose that caused the problem. According to the technician, the hose split in half. Since it was a recall, it was free of charge.

Anyways, if you own a M271, get it done. It was quite embarrassing driving around with a car that’s not supposed to shake like mad.
