 Description of the problemAt speeds varying from 16mph to 40mph the vehicle can have a horrible shake. One way to describe it is when you run over rumble strips at highway speeds. The vehicle did have the nissan tsb repair performed which installed a new torque converter but this did not fix the issue. My wife will describe the shaking similar to when the engine on a manual transmission gets too low and the car shakes. I have not been able to determine a pattern to recreate the problem but it happens nearly every day. I have done multiple test drives with nissan service personnel but was unable to "make it happen" when the person was in the car. I was told by one service personnel that they see this complaint mostly by women because men have a tendency to be more aggressive with the throttle. Since the shaking occurs at low rpm's and within that speed range, the only way i know to make sure it doesn't happen is to make sure the rpm's rise quickly above 2,000-2,500 rpm. It is not safe to be coasting thru town at 25mph then have to rev the engine just to maintain speed... I also do notice a lack of power or "transmission confusion" when the shaking occurs. Once the shaking starts, the way to stop it is to accelerate or let off the gas. Either way there is a lack of power, hesitation and ability to accelerate!
