asked by on February 25, 2018

When driving the vehicle has a shake that can be felt in the front like steering wheel and through the floor. the shake only happens when driving over 50 mph but is not that noticeable. when i reach 60 mph or over that's when the shake becomes bad, The shake only happens when I remove my foot off the gas. The shake has a feel like going over a transverse rumble strips. The only other noticeable side affect is the vehicle will start to slow down until below 50 or 60 mph.
My car has an automatic transmission.
