| Description of the problem | My 2004 nissan maxima only at 80,000 miles jerks when i put it in drive or reverse!!! There is a 3 second delay then it jerks. It happens when i am sitting at a light or have my car running then i put the car in drive or reverse the jerks starts. Even when i am driving it's starting to jerk a little. I bought a nissan because they are supposed to be dependable long lasting cars. I would hope that it would last over a 100,000 miles before all the problems started . Nissan really needs to correct this problem before this car ends up hurting somebody because nissan refuse to recall this issue and fix the problem. This is a manufacture default! Nissan needs to own up to this problem! They acted like no one else is complaining. So please help resolve this manufacture defect because nissan seems not to care about this serious problem. |
