Please have the error codes checked. You can purchase the OBDII scanner or take it shops like AutoZone who will do the read for you.

Search the code and or post here.

I am getting ahead here as the error code is needed to diagnose. My wild guess is that you are getting misfires, which can be due to bad plugs or ignition coil (very likely if you are at 110k + miles)

Also post milage and maintenance history.

The vibrating when you stop, could be warped rotors, which has nothing to do with the check engine light.
Get the codes read, and let us know.

thank you all for your reply and i will bring thecar to the garage let you guys know the reading. The car is at 164k and its been a year since i bought it. the previous owner told me before that he changed the rear rotor coz of the vibration. I was looking last night my front brakes and disk and it almost finish...so i don't know if that\s one reason of vibration.

Rotors do not cause CEL. The CEL has to do with the engine, that is why it is check Engine light

Are you keeping up with maintenance? Oil, filters, brakes, fluids etc?
