1991 Maxima -- Car shakes when driving intermittently

Mar 07, 2007 3 Replies

I have a 1997 Maxima and I noticed that when I drive, intermittently, the car starts to shake for a few minutes and then stops. The biggest shaking occurrs around 50 - 60 mph but the car does shake at lower speeds. Also, when the car is shaking I can accelerate with no problem, even though the gas pedal is shaking also, and that if I just have to tap on the brakes for the car to slow down whereas during normal driving I would have to press on my brake pedal for the car to slow down. Its not the alignment for when the car is shaking I let go of the steering wheel and the car goes straight.

Has anybody experienced a similar issue or knows what the problem might be.

Thanks for the response. I'll take a look at that forum.
