| Description of the problem | I got a 2004 nissan maxima last year with about 80,000 miles on it, when the car reached about 90,000 the transmission started jerking when changing gears. The car would not go over 20mph. This is a huge safety hazard. This faulty transmission could harm myself or other drivers on the roads. This happens every time the car is driven. I've taken the car to several different repair shops, including nissan. They all cannot diagnose the problem, but recommended the power flush, which i did. The power flush did nothing for my car. The only it did was set me back $250. 00. There are many nissan owners with the same problem. We are very dissatisfied and want something to be done about this. |
