The shudder in my car is no more than the gear shift of an automatic transmission. i don't notice it at all. The shudder was much more pronounced in the Honda Accord Hybrid I test drove before I settled on the TCH. You should probably contact your dealer's service department. I have over 6300 miles on my car with no problems. Good luck and let us know how it is resolved.
