Engine vibrates a lot during traffic light stops. Found from a mechanic that it is a cylinder 4 misfire caused due to gasket leak. Will cost more than $600 to get it fixed. After doing some research found that this is a manufacturing defect that is affecting many Nissan vehicles and could prove fatal if the vehicle stops on a highway. I believe Nissan has to take responsibility and recall these.
