Description of the problem	Hello my name is kevin sparks, i'm 25 and work as a professional chef. I purchased a nissan 2004 maxima se with 31,500 miles about 3 years ago, i have 79,000 miles now which i'm still paying $550 per month. Now i'm not complaining about my payments its just an example of what i thought i was getting in a maxima. They are supposed to be reliable vehicles, known for being great cars. Here is my problem, the transmission is shot. Not because i mistreat the car its the new tranny systems that were implemented in 2004. The transmission has a violent shifting problem, it jerks into 3rd gear while i was driving jerking me into the windshield, i hit my head while driving 35 mph. If this is not an unsafe problem what is? Do your wheels have to fall off? Or can nissan own up to this safety issue i personally know two other nissan maxima owner 2005's with the same issue. Then after some research over the internet i've found that many nissan customers are having the same problem. They didn't get injured but also feel unsafe while driving. This is an issue that needs to be resolved , there shouldn't be a problem like this for safety reasons. There is too many people with the same problem, hopefully nissan can finally own up to their big mistake. I look to further per-sue this issue.
