No unusual sounds or check engine noticed with the following: 1) while sitting in cramped traffic, I let off the brake pedal to inch forward a few feet while riding the brake. Rms dropped to 500 for every instance and car began to shutter. 2) coming to stop lights/signs. After traveling a distance of about 1/8-1/4 mile @30-40 mph, the deceleration caused the RPM to drop to 500 and the vehicle began to shutter as I reached the stopping point. I noticed this every now and then. I cannot replicate, however I was able to record the RPM drop on two occasions within 5 min of each other. 3) shuttering that occurs at low speeds is felt at higher speeds (50+).feel the shuttering as if transmission was trying to get to next gear, but it holds steady and vibrates. Not able to replicate. Very uncomfortable ride. 4) at random periods of just waiting in the car with it running, will feel surge as rpms drop for an instance. Took vehicle in based on complaints. Service center initiated the car to "re-learn" idle. Issue 1, no longer a problem thus far. Issue 2, still an issue. Issue 3 still an issue. Issue 4, still an issue. Taking it back to same dealer again, and another dealer for a 2nd service team diagnostics.

The steering wheel starts to shake and I feel my gas pedal vibrate when driving approx. 30-40 mph and up. Nissan technical services mechanic said that is normal for Nissan Altima 2013/2014.

While attempting to make a turn at a stop light, vehicle began to shake and slow down. It felt as if it was going to lose power. I had to push the accelerator harder than expected as there was another vehicle bearing down on me in oncoming traffic. This is a new vehicle. I brought it to the dealer and it appears to be a torque converter issue. The shaking is not an issue in itself, however it could lead to accidents if someone is making a turn and needs to get out of oncoming traffic as the transmission does not seem to respond as expected.
