Ok, so I'm driving along to work today, and about half way there, my car all of a sudden starts shaking violently. It felt like I had a flat tire, but when I pulled over and checked it out, my tires were perfectly fine. I got back in the car and drove the rest of the way without any issues. On the way home, the same thing happened. The car starts shaking like its got a flat tire, so I check the tires and they're fine. I get back in and drive home without any issues. Any ideas? :-\

Thanks,
-Alex-

Shaking in the steering wheel? Or entire car/chassis?

Check suspension/steering for play.

It's the entire car, along with the steering wheel. It felt like I had a flat tire. What's weird is that a few mins after I started the thread, I took the car out for a spin for a good half an hour to see if I can get it to do it again, hoping that I could get some more details, but the car didn't do it. I'm sure it'll act up again when I least want it to (like on my way to work). :-\

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll check out the suspension to see if anything is out of the ordinary. :)
