Description of the problem	Purchased a new 2013 altima sedan 3. 5sl in november 2012. At approximately 500 miles, upon acceleration from a stop, the car jerked violently for 2-3 seconds before kicking in and accelerating (as if driving a manual transmission and attempted to start in 4th gear). This has happened 2 more times since. Additionally, often while accelerating the rpms will drop significantly and the car will shudders before kicking back in and accelerating. Lastly, on occasion, while decelerating, the car will jerk harshly (as if driving a manual transmission and shifting into too low a gear for the speed). Took the car into dealership and they said they could not duplicate the issue. Contacted nissan corporate 2/6/2013 and the representative told me she hadn't heard of anyone else having this problem, but that she would open a ticket. Called back to nissan corporate 2/27/2013 to follow up and was told that my previous ticket had been closed.
