Description of the problem	I have a 2004 nissan maxima & the transmission is bad!! It slams & jerks into gear & when i start to slow down it jerks & slams!! More times than not when i stop at a stop sign it is very sluggish & will hardly go when the gas is pushed. I have contacted nissan several different times about this problem & they will not issue a recall or help me in anyway with this problem that is their fault!!! I know i am not the only person with this problem because i have read thousands of complaints online. Every time i talk with someone from nissan they tell me that i have to take the car to a dealership & have it diagnosed, & every time they tell me the same thing, that i need a new transmission, but i still can't get any help from nissan!!! The 2004's is the year they put the "new" no-feel shift tranny in & nissan used a cheap plastic valve body & when it gets hot it starts sticking which is causing the jerking & slamming which also s wearing out the clutch plates!!!! I was just going to get the valve body replaced until i fount out that the part itself is $1658. 00 without labor!! I am a single parent with a fixed income because i was laid off from my job who can not afford either of the two (a valve body replacement or a new transmission)!!!! I am not looking for a handout but nissan should do the right thing & issue a recall on these transmissions!! I guess it's going to take someone getting killed and/or a lawsuit before they "may" do something about these transmissions!!!
