Why does my Volkswagen Passat start shaking when I accelerate?

I recently noticed that whenever I press on the gas pedal, my Volkswagen Passat starts shaking. It doesn't happen all the time but it's becoming more frequent. What could be causing this issue?

It sounds like your engine may be misfiring. This can happen if one of your spark plugs is faulty or if there is an issue with your fuel injectors. I recommend taking your car to a mechanic to get it checked out.

I had a similar issue with my Passat and it turned out to be a problem with the ignition coils. They needed to be replaced in order to fix the shaking. I suggest taking your car to a trusted mechanic for an accurate diagnosis.

It's possible that your transmission is starting to fail. If you notice any other unusual symptoms, like difficulty shifting gears or strange noises, then it's definitely a good idea to take your car in for a check-up.
