When at a stop the engine starts to shake like it's about to turn off we bought it with 29000 miles noticed it a week after we bought it and it has done it a few times the toyota dealership couldn't find any codes to remedy it. the check engine does not come on but it does shake violently.it has 35000 miles now.i had the throttle body cleaned and it still putters at the light. mostly with the a/c off
Second time this happened...first they said battery...while driving, indicating warning lights on dash start blinking (abs, check engine, traction, and others), then the engine goes into low hear and stays until the vehicle is turned off and back on. during these episodes the speed odometer is erratic. also when in this state, the reverse gear does not engage. when this started it was a once a month problem, then weekly, now it happens daily/hourly. it started at approximately 40,000 miles. this happens while driving on city streets and highway, most of the time at stops and lower speeds but does happen on freeway too.
I was about to park at a burger king store at delano california 93215 and slowing down when my scion ia speed up more and kept on running while my foot is already on the brake. so i accidentally hit the store. it only stop because the tire where already up. i tried to reverse my car but cannot move anymore.

Four times now( on different occasions) after shifting the car into reverse the engine made horrible grinding sounds and the car began to lurch violently as i attepmpted to back up. it eventually stalled out completely. on one occasion i was able to have somebody shift the car into reverse so i could look under the hood while the car was grinding and lurching. i saw the engine start to vibrate and then dump forward and then repeat that cycle. i do have video of the event on my phone but i am not able to download it to this lap top.
@ 9851 miles, picked up the car from an oil change (in nov. 2016.) noticed a light shaking when at a complete stop at stop light. the issue continued randomly, at first not very often, then started happening more and more often and became more and more in
