| Description of the problem | I purchased my 2004 nissan maxima in the summer of june 2007. The car was used, but in excellent condition. Recently i noticed my car began jerking between 1st and 2nd gear on my automatic transmission and the problem began getting worse. I took my car to the nissan dealership to see what was wrong with it yesterday. They told me my front engine mounts were broken and that my warranty did not cover the parts, and that it would be around $740. 00 to get it fixed plus the $116. 00 diagnostics fee. I began reading online about this problem with other maxima owner's and it seems my problem is very common. If this is something that occurs so often on the 2004 maxima why doesn't nissan recall all of the nissan maximas and get the problem fixed. I understand they will lose money, but isn't the maxima supposed to be their top of the line sports sedan. I guess something really bad has to happen to someone before they will consider fixing the problem. I will never buy another nissan if this is the quality of cars they are building. |
