Description of the problem	Car is jerking when brakes are fully applied. Almost bad enough to get whiplash. Car was purchased sept. 2006 with 64,000 miles. Car ran good for about 1 year. After owning the car for about 18 months, the jerking started. I took the car to the nissan dealer in my area. They told me i needed to flush the transmission. I had that done. The very next day the car started jerking again. As mentioned in another complaint, jerking starts once fluids are warm. I took the car back, they look at it and told me they couldn't duplicate the problem therefore, they couldn't tell me what was wrong. I asked them if it could be the transmission. Service manager told me that it wasn't the transmission. I took the car home. I was a little frustrated by now. One month later, i took the car back in. I had the service writer ride out with me. He felt the jerking. I asked him if it could be a broken mount. He wrote broken mount down on his notepad. I left the car with nissan. Nissan's service writer called me back the next day and wouldn't you know it, he said it was a broken mount. I told them to go ahead and fix it. They did. I paid and took the car home. Guess what? Car started jerking again. I contacted nissan and they basically told me they couldn't do anything. 6 months later, the car is still jerking away. I took the car back to nissan. I told service manager about the jerking. He came out for a test drive and told me that is was the transmission. Said that he had seen a lot of 2004 maximas coming back during the last of 2008 with the same complaint. He told me to clean it up and sell it to carmaxx before it gave all the way out. He said that carmaxx wouldn't know the transmission was having problems he told me they didn't check transmission before. He said it cost 250. 00 to drop pan to check tranny. Please people, lets flood nissan usa with your complaints. They will have to respond if we all complain. Don't let them get away with this.
