Description of the problem	My 2004 nissan maxima failed to accelerate across a busy intersection due to a defective transmission. As a result i had a near miss with several trucks that nearly hit my family. The 2004 nissan maxima has a well known defect in its transmission valve body. This is published on the internet and discussed in transmission repair shops. My transmission was stuck in 5th gear forcing the car to use its torque converter clutch to slowly accelerate. I was nearly killed as a result. I have contacted nissan previously about this defect but they have not responded. Please regulate nissan to provide the nhtsa data about its maxima transmission failure rate and force them to issue a safety bulletin and recall rebate. The consumer stated the transmission became stuck in 5th gear and the vehicle would shift hard into reverse. The dealer found the transmission fluid was burned and there was also metal in the fluid.
