Description of the problem	Please note that i have done some research on line and discovered that many people are going through exactly what i am going through. This has been very frustrating for me and my husband because we have had nissan all of our lives and have never had problems such as these. I purchased my 2004 nissan maxima used in 2006 with a little over 50,000 miles on it. After it reached around 90,000 miles, i started feeling the jerking just like to the others, my transmission is slipping. This is my third time i have taken it to the dealership and they cannot seem to properly diagnose the problem. I was told i needed a new motor mount, which i replaced on february 19, 2010 for $484. 00. After driving it home, still experienced the same problem. So we took it back to further diagnose the problem, were told the sensor needed to be replaced and that should fix the problem. Finally, we were told by the service manager that we needed a transmission. My transmission continues to bang when downshifting from 2nd to 1st gear. It also surges when accelerating after slowing down and hesitates at least a 10 seconds before engaging into gear. When in park or neutral, the transmission bangs when driving off from 1st to 2nd. . I am told by the dealership that i am going to new to purchase a new transmission in order to fix the problem. I am so afraid the drive the car because it slips and hesitates. This is scary, especially on the highway. I hope that it will not take a fatality for nissan to face up to their problems. Any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Our names are [xxx] . We can be reached at [xxx]. Thanks for your guidance. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
