We are trying to find out what could cause shaking at 45 MPH to 65 MPH.
This happens only during acceleration and stops when foot is off gas
pedal. Also, the shaking will stop if you give car more gas. The shaking
feels as though the car is going over rumble strips. We have even changed
the transmission to try to solve this problem, but the car still shakes.
We already changed tires and had aligned and balanced. Any suggestions?

Could be motor mounts. I'd also check the wheels bearings.

Also, pay attention to whether you feel the vibration stronger in the
steering wheel or the seat. If steering wheel, I'd focus on front suspension
components, if seat I'd focus on rear suspension or engine.

Joe,
It doesn't seem the steering wheel or the seat. It seems to shake the
hood on the driver's side. Is this a mystery or what?

I have a 2004 Maxima that sounds like a similar problem. Alignment has
been adjusted, front tires replaced, and all four tires have been spin
balanced at least 6 times and the problem still persists. Did you ever
resolve your issue? If you did, what was the problem?
