Could be a dirty fuel and you might need to check the fuel pump, the C series has a known issue with that.

Thanks for the response! I fill up at the same chevron just about every time but I guess it's possible they got a bad batch of gas? I will let the dealer know about the symptoms when I get my oil changed. Thanks

It could be the oil system pressurizing. Do you hear a knocking noise for a few seconds when you first start your car as well?

It could just be all the Giants fans too

Same problem here - resolved with quality premium fuel (100 octane). Crap fuel led to shaking of the car while the RPMs were dropping after a cold start.

Thanks for the reply!

I'm hoping it was just a bad batch of gas because I would rather not spend 9 dollars a gallon for 100oct lol gotta love CA 91 lol
