Hard to diagnose without more information, but it does seem that you continued to drive it when it had problems. It is worth fixing problems when they happen on these vehicles, as you avoid consequential damage.

Shaking on startup can be fuel related, control system/sensor related, or ignition related. Low coolant generally means, well, low coolant. That can be anything from a leaking expansion tank (reservoir) to something internal to the engine. SES light is generally emissions control related, but it can be a consequence of another problem.

Let us know what the shop says.
