| Description of the problem | The car started jerking when shifting gears. It stalls out as you accelerate from 20 to 30 miles per hour. This is dangerous. After researching, similar models and year of my car are all complaining of the same problem. This is not just wear and tear. This model car needs to be recalled before any injuries are reported. The failure began to be noticed after the car warms up. It started occurring numerous times and then started slipping as it shifts gears. Took it to shop to see what could be done to fix this failure. Nissan needs to fix this issue. Every car in this year and model is having this problem, but no one is acknowledging the issue. |
