Gas pedal shake

Hello Everyone.

I am a newbie. I just purchased a '00 MAX GLE AUTO with 36K on it. It is my 2nd week driving it and when I am under hard acceleration, I am noticing some vibrations through the gas pedal.... I had heard from a mechanic whom I trust, that he heard from Nissan that there is a problem with front driveshafts and axles. Apparently, they wear prematurely or fail altogether. The pedal sensations can be intermittent apparently under any kind of medium-to-heavy acceleration. Has anyone else had similar experiences of undue vibrations in the gas pedal at either highway cruising or from a stand-still? He called it axle tramp. Are there any TSBs out that anyone knows of? Or did I miss any previous threads on this topic?

Thanks everyone.
