What owners say

Filed Apr 23, 2025 · Acceleration, Transmission · TX

In the beginning when I pull off the car shudders and jerks speed was delayed. Now in the middle of driving with some speed the car beginnings to strain and barely move although the gauge shows I’m going 40 miles the car is straining and going under 5 miles. This started maybe a year ago but now it is much worser.

transmission slip and jerk and it's hard to accelerate

Filed Apr 27, 2021 · Transmission · 73,000 miles · MD

Vehicle has 73,000 miles. When driving and accelerating, the vehicle begins to shake, jerk and vibrate violently. This happens at both local and highway speeds. The frequency in which this occurs has increased significantly over the past week. The vehicle was taken to the nissan dealership. The dealership states that this is a "premature transmission failure" and is recommending a full replacement of the transmission at the customers expense. Nissan/infiniti is well aware of this issue, but is apparently taking no ownership in helping customers with resolving this premature transmission failure. The bulletin that the manufacture has issued needs to be escalated to a recall. An investigation into this matter is overdue as numerous customers have experienced this transmission failure.
