| Description of the problem | My 2004 nissan maxima has transmission problems. It will barely shift into gear. It was working fine one day and then it just started slipping. It wouldn't go into gear. This is very unsafe. I'm scared to drive my car because if it sticks in high gear then it won't slow down and i could wreck. I don't understand how they can put a transmisson in a car that's not going to last. My car isn't that old. I shouldn't be scared to drive it. A new transmission costs anywhere between $1000-$2000. Who can afford to pay that when they've just payed for a car and know the cars to messed up to drive. All the money they make off of selling these cars they should atleast have to fix them. |
