My 2012 V8 LR4 (78,000 miles) is suffering from the random onset of what quickly becomes severe shaking/shuddering. Sometimes it starts shortly after moving off from a standstill; other times I can drive 500+ miles uneventfully.
The shudder starts as if I'm driving over a mildly washboarded surface but soon progresses to an alarming frequency. Bringing the vehicle to a halt on the shoulder and then moving off again usually fixes it; backing up and braking quite hard seems to be a more surefire way of eliminating the phenomenon until it happens again.
During the process of stopping the vehicle's forward motion, I can feel some rotational friction points, suggesting some sort of brake hangup. An IR thermometer has not shown any hot rotors, but the next time it happens I plan to endure the shaking for longer so there's more time for any temperature rise to show itself.
It has been a salt-belt car from new in Buffalo. Caliper corrosion? Wheel bearings?
Thanks for any other theories anyone might have or, better yet, experience with the problem and a fix for it.
