2007 Nissan Quest: jerking or lurching

Filed Oct 2, 2017 · GA

Takata recall.... Transmission is jerking uncontrollably. When it snaps into place it feels like you've been hit by another car. This has been going on for 2 months. This happens when shifting into another gear or while driving.

Transmission failure at 80000 miles. Jerking etc. Started earlier around 75000 miles. Ridiculous. Please alert me to any class action suits.

While driving, the transmission started jerking and more often than not slams into gear. Makes an awful banging noise when this happens. Losing trans fliud, seems like we are going through jugs of fluid. Also had a coolant leak, even after having new radiator installed, still smell coolant and it's been a while when the care is being checked, mechanic can't seem to replicate the problem. Very frustrating and scary when you're driving. Happens more so when highway driving or if the car has been running for some time.

Transmission jerks/slips between gears on daily basis. This just appeared in the spring and has been an ongoing/increasing problem since then. Have taken car to mechanic at least 3 times and asked for resolution. Mechanics have been unable to replicate or fix the problem. It is especially prevalent if take foot off gas, coast, then put foot on gas again. Sometimes the jerk is severe enough to affect the people sitting in the car. It seems like eventually the car will just not engage and I'll have to leave it on side of road.

While driving the transmission will slip, the rpms will rev when accelerating and the trans will jerk into gear when in lower gears, it is now having trouble accelerating all together.

^ months ago tranimissin started to jerk, found online that this is a common issue with nissan 3.5 transmissions. Looked at ways people had fixed the problem. Replace 3 tranmission solinoids. Worked great for 3 months after repair today it jerked really bad and the now it will not accelerate. I have to drive in low to go anywhere because I have 5 children and this is my only car I have to pick thgem up from school and take my 100% disabled wife to and from doctors appts. This is just rediciulous that nissan knows their is an issue had thousands and thousands of complaints and yet will not do anything for the people that have issues with their cars. They will not even try give a discount on parts and labor for the people that have these issues.

When driving the car engine sounded as if it was going to fall out of car found out the engine mounts were all broken and needed to be replaced. Replaced all the mounts and the car still jerks hard when driving and loses power sometimes and will rev very high when driving for no reason at all. Took car back to mechanic and was told had to replace transmission mounts after already replacing mounts for over 900 dollars.

Transmissions gear slips and jerks unexpectedly. You never know when it will jerk when accelerating. Will probably need to rebuild the whole transmission that will cost plenty. Also dangerous for my family to drive.

I was driving minivan back home with my daughter after her dr.'s appointment. My fuel gauge was showing that I have close to 120 miles to empty the tank. All of a sudden my van lost the engine power and started shaking and finally completely stopped after few hiccups. I was able to move it in the middle turning lane as soon as it started shaking and I realized a problem. This saved me and others from being in an accident. Also, I was at a lower speed and going up hill and that helped me manage to move in the middle without causing an accident. If I had on a highway and running at a highspeed, I would have caused a big accident involving many vehicles. I found out that may gauge wasn't reporting the fuel properly and I ran out of fuel. When I put some gas from a can, I was able to start the vehicle. Since that day, my fuel gauge is not accurate. I have to keep my gas filled up just to avoid any such happening again. I have also experienced that since I started having this problem my vehicle also started engine power loss at lower speeds. At times, it looks like the engine is going to stop and then it will get a big jerk and start to move normal. This kind of behavior is not normal and may result in a unsafe/dangerous condition on the road. This a problem with the gauge/fuel system or may be the computer itself that should be addressed and should have a recall on it.
