Description of the problem	Our 04 nissan maxima se was purchased at 23k miles from dealership and we purchased the extended warranty for coverage up to 80k. It seems that right at 82k we started experiencing transmission issues that were extremely noticeable -i can say that right around 60k we had slight transmission concerns but the dealership did diagnose as such, although my wife strongly suggested to them that it seemed like something was wrong with the transmission and gears jerking/shifting. Now, at 98k our transmission has gone out -the car does not shift into gears at all and my wife was stranded on the highway in connecticut (we live in new jersey) when she experienced this -no warning except for the engine light coming on and car's rpm revving up to 5 & 6, she exited to let car cool down and it would not move into any gear once restarted. We really feel that nissan is aware of this defective transmission and is refusing to stand behind their substandard product!
