| Description of the problem | I was driving my car on the highway when it started to shutter. It was first happening on inclines then all the time. It eventually just slowed down and i had to quickly exit to avoid getting stuck in the middle of the highway. I have brought the shuttering/jerking issue to the dealer previously and was told that no issue was found. Now i am told that i have to replace the transmission which is $3,500. After doing some internet searches i learned that several other drivers are having issues with the transmission on their "new" nissan altima (2013). |
