Description of the problem	I have a 2004 nissan maxima- i purchased it used in 2007. It has 90k miles on it, i love the car but for the past year my transmission has been slipping. The car jerks heavily when i switch from reverse to drive, when i slow down to make a turn, when i accelerate. Some days you won't feel it then other days you get whiplash because it happens the whole car ride. I have had my mechanic flush my transmission fluid, brought it to nissan dealers they told me it was my motor mount, and of course when they test drive my car, they don't feel it. One dealer told me i need a new transmission that costs $4000, i can't afford that!!!! I have researched online about this issue and every site i come to has a plethora of complaints with us all having a 2004 maxima with the same issue!!!! This cannot be a coincidence, there is an issue with this and nissan needs to take responsibility. I bought this car for 17k in 2007 and its worth nothing at this point because of this jerking issue.
