My old D-5 has always done that.  I finally figured it out.  In fact
it doesn't mind playing on the go.  What it really hates is heat.
Its performance degrades the hotter it gets.  Keep it cool and in
the shade and it works just fine.  It's still more sensitive to
shock than, say, a D-4, but after I upgraded and gave the D-5 to an
impoverished musician, she played it on a cross-continent drive
and had a wonderful time.

Of course anecdotal evidence is worth what you pay for it. :-)
