Why does my car shake when I stop at a stoplight?
A broken or disconnected motor mount makes a car shake or engine shudder when parked idle or stopped at a stoplight. To find out if the mount is the source of the problem, shift the gear to the neutral mode to see if the shuddering reduces. It’s a sure indication that there’s something wrong with the mount.
