Odd car problem
I have noticed that every now and again when my 06' G6 has sat for overnight or all day, that when i start it, it slightly jerks. I havent even taken it out of park or anything. Only 65K! Anyone ever heard of this with any car?

Sounds like transmission not completely dis-engaged after car was shut off. When you turn the key, the starter motor turns the drive shaft and drives the transmission just a little.Art Layton

Re: Odd car problem
I was thinking something smaller, like a loose motor mount. I dont think the car is actually trying to move but maybe the engine jerking from cranking it? I hope i dont sound like an idiot.Am i obsessed?? A car is the second biggest financial investment for most people, why not keep it looking better than new?Comment

Re: Odd car problem
If black smoke comes out of the exhaust at a cold starts guess the o2 sensor should be checked.If the exhaust is normal it could be a weak rubber mounting.Comment

Re: Odd car problem
But if an O2 sensor was bad wouldnt i have a check engine light? I have noticed i havent gotten as good gas mileage as i should. Also, how do i know which sensor?Am i obsessed?? A car is the second biggest financial investment for most people, why not keep it looking better than new?Comment
