Description of the problem	I bought a used 2004 nissan maxima in 2007 - worked well for about a year. At the end of 2008 my car began to slowly jerk when decelerating and pulling off an exit or making a right hand turn. I took the car to my local mechanic (not nissan) and was told my transmission is slipping. I tried to contact nissan but i need to bring it to their dealer and pay $200 just for them to look at it and tell me what i already know, or be ignorant and say they can't find anything like they did to other maxima owners. For over a year all i would use this car for was to and from work, if i had to run errands or go out, i walked or rode with a friend. For the amount of money i pay each month, that is unacceptable. As of july 2010 my car cannot drive more than 15 miles at a time without having to take off the battery and reset the car so it can go another 15 miles. I still owe money on this vehicle and yet i had to go buy another car just so i can get to work. I have been researching this problem for the last 3 years and there are hundreds of the same complaints!! When is nissan going to own up to their responsibility and do what is right. Unfortunately, it seems that someone will have to get severely hurt or lose their life in order for nissan to recognize. I have several friends with the same vehicle and have the same issue, and have spent $1,000+ at nissan for them to fix everything but the transmission. We have done motor mount replacements & transmission flushes and still have problems. When is someone going to stand up for the consumers and do something about this? I am paying a car note and insurance to see my car sit in my parking lot everyday. The car jerks violently, and gets worse over time. 500 complaints have been filed on here, and still nothing has been done. There are thousands of blogs and websites of people complaining about the same thing. I contacted my attorney general's office and received basically no help. I will never buy another nissan!
