07 Caliber shaking at stop light.
Hello, i was wondering if someone could please help me with an issue I’m having with my 07 Caliber, when I’m driving it works fine but as soon as I stop at a red light, it starts to shake, kind of like if it is not idle enough but it is cause the RPM's are at about 800 and when i stop i have to put the car on neutral so that it stays normal then when the light turns green i put back in drive and once i take off it works fine or if I’m in park it works fine, it's only when it is stopped and on Drive, it was working fine and just started to do this, no engine light. Thank you in advance for your help.

Try update the software on the computer first, there is a TSB for this concern, you might have to hit the dealership and talk to them.
Of course, hows the maintainence record? Air Filter, PCV valve? Tune Up?
ask your dealership if they would update the Computers in the car for free if you purchase something like a Tune Up. At least we do. unless they can find something else wrong with your car, I would recommend you starting with a PCM update and some maintainence catch up if you havent done it yet.
