Why is my Ford Mondeo shaking while accelerating?

I recently bought a used Ford Mondeo and I noticed that it shakes while I accelerate. It's not a constant shake, but it happens sporadically. It also seems to be more noticeable when the car is cold. What could be causing this issue and how can I fix it?

It sounds like you may have an issue with your engine mounts. These mounts help keep the engine in place and if they are worn or damaged, it can lead to shaking. I would suggest having them checked and replaced if necessary.

Another possible cause could be a misfiring engine. This means that one or more of the cylinders in your engine are not functioning properly. It could be due to a faulty spark plug or ignition coil. I recommend having your engine checked by a mechanic to diagnose and fix the issue.

It could also be an issue with your wheels or tires. Make sure they are properly balanced and aligned. If the shaking persists, it may be a sign of worn or damaged wheel bearings. It's best to have a professional inspect and repair any tire or wheel related problems.
