| Description of the problem | I drive a 2004 nissan maxima se. The problem is the transmission. It shifts very hard from gears 1-3 upshifting and downshifting. I just purchased the car in august and now the dealership tells me i need a new tranny which i cannot afford right now. It is an extreme safety hazard on the road and when i talked to nissan they said there is nothing they can do about it. This obvious defect needs to be recognized by nissan and replaced and fixed at their expense. |
