2003 Mitsubishi Outlander AWD 75,000 miles. Blew the water pump coming back from a trip. Replaced water pump, timing belt, spark plugs, thermostat. Still leaked. Took to dealer and was found to have leaky head gasket. Dealer replaced head gasket. Now it doesn't leak, however sometimes when i accelerate the car shakes until i let off the gas, then it runs fine when i accelerate again. Any suggestions before i take it back to the dealer?

Check you spark plugs and the coil. Sounds like you are having a missfire on one or more spark plugs.
