| Description of the problem | I am the first and only owner of this car. There were no accidents or physical damage to my vehicle. Whenever i shift to reverse the car pauses and then jerks. Same jerk behavior happens whenever i shift from reverse to drive. I took it to the shop and had new motor mounts put in to solve the problem. For a few days you could barely feel the jerking when switching to reverse. Literally by the next week it was bad all over again and the jerking returned. Also, sometimes when i am driving i can feel the car "hesitating" when switching gears. For example, this morning i was driving to work and going only around 25mph and as i started to accelerate the car jerked and slowed down for about 5 seconds before it returned to my normal speed. This can be very frustrating and scary. All regular scheduled services (including oil and fluid changes) were performed by local professional shops. I would like to get my transmission replaced by nissan at their expense. |
