| Description of the problem | 2004 nissan maxima 5 speed automatic: has sever transmission problems. Slams in and out of gear and gets stuck between 3rd and 4th, 2nd and 3rd. There are thousands of complaints on the nissan forums due to a manufacturer error in the valve bodies. Nissan will not issue a recall and this is a sever safety issue , the car can slam out of gear at any speed or shift down a gear while traveling at normal highway speeds. Every problem i have read about says this problem starts as soon as 40000 miles but usually around 75000 miles. I wish i never bought a nissan and now i am scared to drive it at all and still owe over 10k on the maxima. Please help get this recalled and fixed for thousands of motorist. *ln |
