| Description of the problem | The best i can do to explain the problem i am having with my 2013 altima is to compare it to the jerking you will experience in a stick shift vehicle if you do not clutch and shift properly almost causing the vehicle to stop. Once i was entering onto the highway, the car acted as if the parking brake was applied while driving. I took my car to the dealer from which i purchased it (st. Clair auto mall), the mechanic drove it and almost immediately he experienced the problem. We drove back to the dealership (service dept.). He looked up some information in the computer, said diagnostics tests were ran but the test(s) turned up nothing. And also there were no lights on the dash indicating a problem. So, for that reason nothing could be done. |
