Just started having problems with my 06 nissan altima 3.5L. Will buck and jerk when going up a hill or slight incline but only when the roads are covered in snow. Happens at any speed has happened 20, 40, 80 whole car jerks and the rpms go crazy. Any ideas would be helpful

I am assuming that you have the 5 speed auto... sounds like your transmission. Check to see if there are any codes. May be a bad speed sensor...

Just making sure your not talking bout you traction control? Try turning off ur T/C and drive on same snow roads n see if it still does it. Cause when ur car spins the front tires it kills ur throttle momentarily and if you're still on the gas when it deactivated it will start to rev. And spin tires again. Ect. Ect. see if ur slip light comes on before u turn T/C off. Let me know what's up
