Ok so I also have an 01 base model, and I too have noticed the same problems. My car was also shaking and kind of bouncing rapidly from left to right only when I applied the brakes and on the interstate when I got up to about 65-75 mph. All other times it was fine, just a little bit of a bumpy ride. I noticed all of this after I installed my new rims and tires (17x7's).
So the first thing I did was took it to the shop and had an alignment done, which was a waste of $60, because they told me that it didn't need one, infact the alignment looked great. But they did say that there was a bounce in one of my new rims, just a little bent spot or something which was making it jump and vibrate a little more than it should. They balanced it, put that one on the back, and told me I needed new brake pads. So I changed the pads and now the shaking is to a very minimum.
As for the wierd noise, my car does the same thing, but I only notice it when the car is turned off and i'm outside beside it or something. Is it kind of like a loud humming coming from under the hood that lasts for a second or two? I've never looked into what it could be. I just thought it was the factory alarm or something electronic like that. I kind or started to think it was supposed to do that since its been doing it since I purchased the car 2 years ago. Anyway hope this helps. If you find out what that noise is, let me know. -Mike
