I have a 98 Nissan Maxima, just turned over 100K, and still going very
strong.  It has had almost no mechanical problems.  However, just
recently, the turn signal has stopped blinking.  Sometimes, when I
first start the car, the turn signal will blink, and then for the rest

I haven't checked the archives, but does anyone have experience with the

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
