Description of the problem	My problem seems to be the same one that thousands of people are having. I am a used car dealer and have bought (3) 2004 nissan maximas sl. Every one of them has had the same problem. I know any sensible person reading this complaint would simply say "idiot, stop buying nissans!!! But i was trying to give our auto industry the benefit of the doubt that since so many people had the exact same problem that they would at least realize and admit that , maybe its not the world that has the problem. It's the 2004 maxima transmissions. When the car gets warm, the transmission slips in between 20 and 30 mph. It also jerks and delays (once it gets hot) when going into gear. Several credible transmission repair shops (i. E. Mr. Transmission), have traced it back the same thing. The faulty valve body in the transmission. Now as a voice of the people and after reading complaint after complaint after complaint ; surely there has to be some non-biased agency, watch dog, or authority that is not going to let these car-making bullies rip all of these people off especially when they have been made aware of this design flaw. We understand that they have a business to run and that they can't just stay in business fixing every single complaint that arouses but this is not a quick fix for the consumers and it is costing hard working consumers millions of dollars in repairs. Please somebody help the working class.
