| Description of the problem | I bought my nissan maxima 04 almost a month ago. I spent all of my money that i saved up to purchase this car (i am a college student--i have no money). I am now experiencing a jerking motion when car shifts from 1st to 2nd gear. I went online to see if i am the only one experiencing this problem and i am not. I am afraid that this problem will get worse and i will be stuck with a piece of crap that does not get me anywhere. I am highly disappointed and scared because from the blog that i just read i am not the only one experiencing this problem. Another problem i am experiencing is a jerking when i pull the car into drive. I only have 99,000 miles on the car. This needs to be fixed by nissan because i am sure they are aware of this defect in this car. |
