2011 V8 Citadel started shuddering when gradually accelerating from 50 to 60mph (especially bad if slight incline). Dealer said it was normal after driving. I am going to ask for someone from the dealership to ride with me to recreate, but was wondering if anyone else is experiencing. I have about 16k miles on it.
