I currently have a case number with them (since early June) on this but I cannot get back in touch with them as none of the regional reps answer their phone they always let it go into voice mail. They also take several days to return calls so we have been playing telephone tag for nearly 2 weeks. The last response on this from Nissan was that they "Cannot Do anything if the dealer says there is not a problem" so I have been going around in circles. I don't know who to escalate it to at this point.

try another dealer and see what they say. And dont mention that you have been to another dealer before.

Generally most people on the forum have told me that physical drivetrain shudder (chatter noise yes, shaking no) is not normal and that also is what I have experienced in driving the other used 370's last weekend. None had noticeable shudder.

I can make the clutch shudder AND shake pretty hard if I decide to slip it incorrectly.
