Whenever I accelerate and the speedometer hits 20 MPH the transmission jerks or if I'm going 60 MPH on the freeway and start to brake and as my speed is decreasing when the speedometer hits 20 MPH it jerks. The transmission must be slipping or have an issue.

Transmission failure - I was driving my vehicle on the highway with my 1 year old child when all of a sudden the transmission slipped and failed. I went from doing 50 to 5 on the highway in front of an 18 wheeler. Luckily I am a good driver and used my senses to pull over as quickly and safely as possible.

The automatic transmission began to slip at about 63,000 miles. It continues to get worse and occasionally delays in engaging in drive especially after shifting out of reverse. From what I have read this is a common problem that nissan refuses to address and may result in transmission failure.

My transmission started jerking with a loud bang sound upon shifting gears and upon slowing down to a stop. It began to slip into neutral while in the drive mode causing the rpms to increase and the car will not move. It jerks back into drive until the next stop or slowing down and starts the problem over again. I have taken the car into a transmission repair shop, which states it needs to be replaced. I have noticed many complaints from nissan customers with the same year, make and model.
