Hi,

Can you confirm the model for me? Also, if you shift to third, do you experience anything? Is the check engine light staying on while the engine is running?

Oftentimes, this type of issue is due to a universal joint or CV joint. However, I'm not sure what model we are dealing with.

Take a look through this link and let me know if you experience any of the things mentioned:
