Description of the problem	I bought my 2004 nissan maxima 3. 5 sl used from a dealership that i worked at. I bought it with 68,798 miles on it on october 31st, 2008. Within 2 weeks of owning the car, i noticed transmission issues. The transmission would slip going into second gear and when it would finally shift it would be very harsh, harsh enough to chirp the tires. After a couple months of this, the transmission really started acting up. The day i took it in to have the transmission replaced, it started slipping going into third gear as well. On the freeway home from work, it would not go into overdrive. I turned around and went back to the dealership to drop it off. In february of 2009, i had the dealership i worked for replace the transmission under the aftermarket warranty that i purchased with the vehicle. Not only did the warranty company order the wrong transmission 2 times, but i was without my car for 37 days. Luckily the warranty company paid for a rental car! Less than one year later, i had the same problems occurring. Luckily i knew the symptoms and had the transmission replaced again under the 12 month 12,000 warranty that came with the nissan remanufactured transmission. This was just about 1 year after the first replacement and about 8,000 miles. So, long story short, first transmission replacement was done in february 2009, second transmission was replaced in february 2010. The dealership i work for now happens to be where the car was always serviced, so i know it's history. It was very well maintained. By the way, my maxima has the 4-speed automatic.
