2007 Nissan Altima Hybrid- while driving at highway speeds (approx. 65 mph) the car shuddered and vibrated. The shuddering affected my ability to control the vehicle. I pulled over and had the vehicle towed to a Nissan dealership. The problem was diagnosed as carbon buildup in the engine. Part of the engine (including the entire cylinder head) needed to be replaced. Apparently Nissan is aware of this problem- since they gave the dealership instructions on how to replace the damaged engine parts- but has no permanent solution to the problem. The dealership expects the carbon buildup to reoccur in the future causing shuddering/vibrating while driving and possibly requiring the engine parts to be replaced again. The vehicle is currently 3 years old and has less than 45000 miles on it.
