It might be a transmission problem. I heard this same symptom described on a radio call in show and the host/mechanic mentioned that the problem happens when the transmission is downshifting and gets caught up between two gears and that causes the vehicle to shudder. He recommended taking it in to have transmission fluid completely drained and replacing filter. If it s a manual transmission then it might be a clutch problem. Good luck.
