“When attempting to start vehicle in the morning the first try results in loud shaking and shuttering. Sounds like car is not running on all cylinders, or has bad timing. Inital problem is that hood insulator fasteners are comming off which could come in contact with accessory drive belt and casue engine failure. Vehicle has been brought to dealer two times. Dealer said that the problem could not be duplicated. Problem occurs at least once every two days.”
