Description of the problem	On october 4, 2012 i purchased a 2013 nissan altima 3. 5 sl. It was obvious almost immediately that there was a problem with the transmission. Upon taking off from a stopped position the first shift of the transmission is very hard, especially under light acceleration. Two weeks after purchasing the veh. With approx. 400 miles on the odometer i was pulling away from a stop when the veh. Started shuddering and shaking violently before shifting into gear with a hard bump. This incident lasted approx. 2 seconds. For the next 700 miles or so the shuddering and shaking occurred six more times. I took the veh. Into the nissan dealer where it was purchased and after driving it they advised that they could not duplicate the problem. Over the next 500 miles the incidents became more often and at times more severe, one incident lasting for several seconds before finally shifting into gear. On december 5, 2012 the veh. Was returned to the dealership. I spoke with service manager explaining the problem and my concerns of maybe the veh. Stopping in the roadway during one of these incidents and being rear ended. This time the service manager rode along with me and drove the veh. Duplicating the problem several times. The engineers at nissan was contacted by the service manager and they confirmed that there was a problem with the transmission software on the v6 altimas, however they had no fix for it at this time.
