Description of the problem	I have a 2004 nissan maxima, 130,000 miles. Transmission jerks when shifting from 1st to 2nd or downshifting. Also seems to disengage when decelerating into a turn and then slams into gear when accelerating. Sometimes the tranny will go into a 3rd gear lock and the possibility of entering an intersection with unknowingly slow acceleration due to this could be dangerous!. I took the car to the dealer and they said the cam sensors were bad. $500 plus dollars later it is still doing the same thing. I took it back to dealer and they said it needs new tranny. I waited a few weeks and took it in again and now they say it needs a new transmission valve body. I did tt the mechanic at the dealer and he said he replaces the valve body all the time. Www. Carsurvey. Org has thousands of complaints exactly like mine. Dealerships are dancing around know issues and expecting every car owner to put a new transmission in their car. I contacted nissan and they opened a claim, but their solution was that my car was out of warranty and that there was nothing else they could do. I believe that nissan needs to accept some responsibility for a faulty designed transmission.
