    The transmission has approximately 88k miles and in the last 10k the transmission has been skipping gears, having progressive difficulty shifting up and downhill; there's jarring and jerking when accelerating and de-accelerating. It most often happens on declines inclines stops during driving, and traveling at highway speeds. I've seen that many 2013 nissan owners experience similar issues

    Mass air flow sensor recall and components there of or intake fuel/performance reductors...check engine code p0101. While running the vehicle looses power and struggles to go faster entering freeways or up hills also have to use more gas lately. Check engine light lit up...replaced the part to no avail...light is off a day or two then returns... Which means issue is not fixed.
