When I let of the gas it feels let the car is pulling back

I bought my Max in Feb. as my birthday present and I have spent a lot of time on the road. Now that I have ran out of money I'm not going out of town as much. So now when I drive, I listen to my car a lot and I study it because my warranty is expiring in 20,000 miles so i want to make sure evrything is workng correctly.
At this time I am feeling a pulling as if I am pushing the brakes to slow down but I'm not pushing the brakes. For some reason it just pulls which makes my car feel like it is a 5 speed in low gear. Then when i slow down by pushing the brakes it jercks just a little bit. I am a little worried that when my warranty expires my transmission will do the same. Could some one help me with some info so I can take it to the dealer and tell them so they will consider it to be a problem.

Thanks in advance!!!

Is your car an automatic? If so, it could simply be the transmission downshifting as you slow down. Since your car is still under warranty I would take it to the dealer to make sure though.

Go to the dealer NOWWWWWW...... That's the making of a tranny issue... mine went at 52k. The car used to pull hard from 1&2 gears if felt like it was jumping into 2nd was nice for racing but it eat your tranny....

Just my 2cents

I thought it was the transmission too!
I took it to the Dealer today and I let them know that I was having a problem with it. He said it could need a throttle body cleaning and not a throttle adjustment. They are working on it now so we will see what they come up with.
A few months ago I took it to another Nissan dealer and they told me that it wasn't my transmission but they recommended a tran flush(60k). They flushed it said it was a little dirty, but nothing to be alarmed.

So how did you get the dealer to change the tranny at 56K? Was it pulling really bad? My car is pulling where passengers can feel it alittle but the jerk when downshifting it isn't hard, I just hope they notice.....
