Description of the problem | While driving at a slower speed on the parking lots, around my neighborhood streets and on turns when the vehicle speed in less than 25 mph and when the rpm is between 600 and 1200, the vehicle slows down, shudders and shakes as if the transmission was going out. This happens for 4-5 seconds. I have seen this happen more often when i slow down on the parking lots or on the neighborhood streets. At that time the vehicle acts as if the it is having issue shifting down and just shakes/shudders. I have taken the vehicle to a nissan dealer multiple times but still the problem has not been corrected. The first time i took it, the dealership told me that there was a bulletin out from nissan and they knew what to fix and they claimed they fixed it but the issue resurfaced after few hours. The second time i took the vehicle to the dealership, they told me they could not reproduce the issue! Nissan needs to carefully investigate and fix this serious safety issue. |
