| Description of the problem | Very rough shift after deceleration going into acceleration at 20 to 35 mph. It feels as if i have been rearended and has a loud sound mimicking same. It varies greatly on occurrence. Weeks can go by with nothing, then it will occur regularly for a period of time. This has been occurring off and on since 2008 (approx 65k - 80k miles). The car now has 113k miles. The transmission fluid has been changed, engine mounts fixed - all to no avail. The last resort is to have the transmission replaced which is half the value of the car. Nissan has refused to fix the vehicle at no cost to me. |
