 Description of the problemI bought the 2010 nissan altima used in april 2012. Vehicle was previously part of a fleet unit in washington dc. During my drive to work, i made a left hand turn at a low rate of speed and the vehicle acted as if the transmission was skipping. The car jerked as if i had pushed the gas too hard for the turn. I had to stop to make another left hand turn. After waiting on cars to pass, i pushed the accelerator to move out at a slow and normal rate of speed and the car lunged and jerked as if i had tried to pull out at a high rate of speed. No oncoming traffic thankfully. This vehicle has had issues moving past 20 mph since i purchased it. The car jerks as it is has a manual transmission but the care is an automatic. There is loud clicking noise that comes from under the hood that can be heard inside the vehicle. I recently had a rental car of the same make and model but different year (2012). I did not experience these problems from that car. There was a recall on a leaking break line. Nissan states they checked everything out and all looks good. I'll take the car back in along with copies of these complaints. I took at long trip that was about a 4 hr drive and did not experience what others are saying with acceleration, but may be just now getting to that point in the cars transmission issues.
