Description of the problem	I have a 2004 nissa maxima 3. 5 se, i have not driven the vehicle in almost a year. It has made me feel unsafe and refuse to drive it until the transmission is replaced. It only has approximately 84,000 miles on it and even then it seems undrivable. After taking it for a diagnostic to several mechanics, they can't seem to pin point a problem to the vehicle. I ended up doing the tune up, changed up the transmission oil (replaced the filter), changed up the engine brackets, which ended up costing about 1800. 00 the only consistent answer i seem to get is that this vehicle make along with the same model seemed to have a defect that nissan refuses to take responsibility for. While driving it, it seems to be driving smoothly and all of a sudden i experience jerking from the vehicle. The first time it occurred, i almost thought the car behind me had rear ended my vehicle. My neck was sore the next day from all the jerking. It seems as if when going from second to third gear, the car jerks and has even gone up to fourth to second gear all while i've maintained the same speed. The car seems to have a mind of its own, which is baffling and even makes me nervous to turn it on. I've done the regular maintenance on the vehicle, so to get a new transmission for a defect caused my the manufacturer is baffling. Please help, this vehicle should not be driven in the public. An accident is highly probable caused with sudden jerking.
