Default Shuddering

So over the past 2 weeks I've noticed my car shudders when stationary. Not sure if it's warming up still but I'll find after 5 mins of driving it's still doing it. Anyone have this happen with their car or might know what it is. Car is only a few weeks old. Thanks.

Check engine light on? Last time a car of mine shuddered at idle/light load it was a misfiring issue.

Nah it doesn't. They reckoned it was normal. Took the mechanic for a drive as well.

Mine does it at night occasionally after sitting at work all day, but only when waiting for the first turn and then its fine.

Hey Firefly

Just checkin if you got this sorted? Took my my15 for her first service and they did a ECU recall apparently. After the service and upgrade it's been running sweet! Fixed misfiring issue completely.
