Welcome, this is not normal, take it back to ford and get them to fix it.
Good to see more members.

Mines also about 3 months old but I haven't noticed any significant shake when starting the engine. Get'em checked.
As Aaron mentioned about the fuel, I've only ever used premium so couldn't comment if fuel difference may change things. Anyways hope u get it sorted soon

I would only use pulp in your car read the manual and it basicly tells you to do so if youwant a smooth car and powerful

yeh i always use premium unleaded from bp. It only seems to shake when i first start it up and then when the engine is warm it goes back to normal. Could it just be that the engine is cold?
