Automatic transmission solenoid malfunctioned. Caused the car to make loud thud and bang into gear between 1st and 2nd gear. Accident near miss, but no actual wreck. This is a widespread problem as any online forum on the Altima reveals. . .
When accelerating, the car attempts to change gears and hesitates before changing into the next gear.

The dealership has already replaced the transmission solenoid pack but that has not fixed the problem.
