Description of the problem	2004 nissan maxima se, transmission problem with jerking and slipping at the 2nd and 3rd gear shifting. I tried to have the problem at a transmission shop twice spend more than $2,000. I found out that transmission problem with 2004 maxima was well known among the mechanics. One time the car briefly stopped on a freeway in a heavy traffic with repeated stop-and-go situation. At that time, i was riding with my son. He was shocked at the car died down on a freeway. I happened to have it started again. However, i do not want to drive the car anymore, because i am afraid of such incident happening again. I do not understand the transmission is not being recalled, even thought the problem is well-known among the part shops and the mechanics. Sometimes, the engine revvs up without being engaged and sometimes the card moves very slowly with dead poor. I contacted my mechanics and discussed about the situation. He told me that since the problem is well known and 2004 maxima transmission was only of that year model and nissan changed the transmission model to different one in 2005. Nissan knew this problem. I believe that was the reason they are using different transmission model.
