Description of the problem	I'm writing you today to informed you that my 2004 nissan maxima es with 97,000 on it is having major transmission problems. I bought the car new in '04. It been a good car until now. From park position the transmission floats and is delayed about 5 seconds before engaging into drive. The transmission bumps when slowing down from 2nd to 1st gear. The transmission floats out of gear while cruising into neutral, the rpms revs high, than it slips back into gear. All this happens once the car is warmed up. I took the car to a reputable transmission repair shop they flushed and filled the transmission fluid, but the problem still exist and has gotten a lot worse. The transmission repair shop did not see anything wrong with the transmission. This lead me to go online and inquire further about this problem, looks like a lot of folks are having the same problem. I have not filed a formal complaint with nissan, or with the state of new york about the vehicle. Is there a class action suit? Please include me i have all the necessary documentation. Please contact me to inform me what should be my next logical step. I just realized the problem with these transmissions today. It is only a matter of time before someone is fatally injured from this defect. Nissan north america should be held accountable. Most of these vehicles still have sizable car loans that have not been paid off due this only being a five year old vehicle.
