Some Nissan Altima owners report experiencing severe shaking and jerking at higher speeds, which may be attributed to several underlying issues. Common causes include unbalanced or misaligned wheels, tire damage, bent rims, poor wheel bearings, and loose lug nuts. Additionally, bad axles, damaged suspension or steering components, and inadequate tire pressure can also contribute to these symptoms. Some owners have noted that a clogged fuel filter may lead to a loss of power and jerking during acceleration, often triggering the engine check light. Furthermore, dirty injectors can cause power loss and jerking due to engine misfires. It is recommended that owners have their Nissan Altima inspected by a qualified mechanic to diagnose and address these issues promptly, as regular maintenance and timely repairs are essential for ensuring a smoother driving experience.
