I have a nissan maxima 2001 gxe
Its has a 3.0 V6 with automatic transmission
my car has a odd problem, here it is:
When I start it up and put it in reverse (with foot on brake), it feels very smooth, the engine is not shaky and the car is very smooth. But when I put it in "Drive" or "2" or "1" (with foot on brake), it not smooth anymore. I can feel the steering wheel vibrating and the entire car becomes shaky.
I have 3 other cars (1 other nissan and 2 toyota's) they don't do this. They feel the same in reverse as they do in drive.
I heard the maxima supposed to be a smooth car, why is mine only smooth in reverse? any ideas?

I know some of these cars had problems with the ignition coils. could that have something to do with it?
my check engine light isnt on though.
A few months ago I replaced all 4 o2 sensors.

your on board computer automatically increases your engine r,p,m. slightly when you put your car in reverse........this reduces the need for two footed operation while in reverse......in your case .............try increasing your r,p,m. very slightly while in drive & holding your brakes.........it will probobly smooth out........if so get a good tune up.......or have a good mechanic look at it!

Sounds like a bad mount there buddy. Do this:
1. Pop the hood and open it
2. Watch the engine while a friend shifts it from Park to Drive
3. If the engine moves in the car, its a mount.
Start there.

Let's clarify: does the engine run rough in reverse or does the car ride rough in reverse. If it is the latter then I would have the brakes checked. It could be a faulty atomatic brake adjustment devise. Check motor mounts. Engine running rough in reverse...?

Could be damaged or severely worn engine mount(s). Put the car in 'park' and rock it forwards and backwards and see if the engine moves excessively.
