    Your English is pretty good.
    Maybe a motor mount?

    welcome!

    please tell us some history of the car, how long have you owned it, and when did the shake begin?

    I bought the car 4 months ago but recently i had a 2000 km trip. Strange is that it happens only sometimes .

    Reverse drive is entirely electric, gas motor not involved at all...it may be idling to warm up, but not involved in moving the car in reverse.

    has it done it since you bought it, or only since the 2,000km trip?

    watch the hybrid battery icon, and keep note of the level when it happens. see if there is a trend between a certain charge level and the intermittent shaking
