Transmission has begun to shudder sometimes when  
accelerating. Got the car new-used with 22k, now has 29k.

Your Altima should still be covered by the 5yr./60k powertrain warranty. Take it to a dealer for a diagnosis. Nissan automatic transmissions are known for premature failure.

does that pass on to the 2nd owner? Regardless, I agree otherwise, a trip to the dealership is necessary at this point.

Car and Driver says it does: [Nissan Warranty: Everything You Need To Know](https://www.caranddriver.com/research/a32872008/nissan-warranty/) Of course, that article doesn’t have a date so it _might_ not apply to a 2017.
