Checked for any pipes adrift ,other than that you require a diagnostic check to see if any codes are logged to guide further diagnostic,s.

do a routine check under the bonnet make sure all connections are in tack and do a wobble test on all connections then give the car a try to see what happens other than that have the car scanned to see if any faults are stored in the ecu and really go from there but do check the other things first
