Description of the problem	Around 70k miles, my 2004 nissan maxima se began "jerking" whenever i would accelerate - which occurred after deccelerating - somewhere between 1st and 2nd gear. I bought the car new in 2005 and have had the car in to replace the heat shield and entire catalytic converter, had the right from wheel bearings replaced, and have been told by several mechanics (aamco, goodyear gemini, and other national care service centers) that while a transmission flush may solve the problem, they noted that this has been a problem for many of their customers and suggested that only replacing the transmission would solve the problem. While the nissan dealership took the same stance, they did not comment on this being a reoccurring problem - which i would not expect they would admit such a wide spread problem. With reading many internet blogs and having more than 5 reputable service centers tell me that this is a reoccurring problem with the nissan maxima's transmission, i would think that something can be done to correct the problem - and it should not be that every 2004 nissan maxima owner pay $4-6k to replace the transmission - not to mention the loss of time trying to track this issue down. I respectfully request this issue be addressed and would hope that action, other than legal, can be taken on behalf of nissan to correct this problem.
