| Description of the problem | The transmission was diagnosed by the dealership as having internal failure and upon them telling me that they also stated that the 2004 maxima has a tremendous amount of transmission issues and because of that they redesigned the transmission in the 2005 model. My car has 61,000 on it and this happened and nissan basically said tough!!! They are aware of an issue yet have done nothing to help. As i found this out i researched the issue and they are alot of issues with people and the transmission and i think enough for an investigation but nobody has done anything. |
