Incident: November 1, 2013 · Filed: September 15, 2014

THE CAR JERKS WHEN ACCELERATING, GOING FROM REVERSE TO PROCEED FORWARD, WHEN GOING UPHILL AND FROM STOP TO GO. IT IS BECOMING WORSE AND HAVE BEEN TOLD MANY THINGS FROM DIFFERENT MECHANICS. AFTER VIEWING THE MANY COMPLAINTS I AM NOT AWARE THIS IS A CONCERN FOR NISSAN TO FOLLOW UP ON. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO TRADE IN THE VEHICLE BUT BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD A DOWN PAYMENT NISSAN WILL NOT DO SO. HOWEVER I NOW MAY BE LOOKING AT BEING STUCK ON THE ROAD, WASTING MONEY ON A LOST CAUSE OR HURT IF ANYTHING HAPPENS AND IF IT CAN BE PREVENTED, THAT IS WHAT NISSAN'S CONCERN SHOULD BE. I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP NOT ONLY MY DAUGHTER SAFE BUT OTHERS ON THE ROAD AS WELL. *TR
