| Description of the problem | 2004 nissan maxima transmission failure. The transmission jerks when shifting from 1 to 2nd gear and it jerks when shifting from 1st gear to 2nd. It jerks while driving and it gets stuck. It got stuck while i was driving up a parking garage ramp and it would not move. When i let go of the gas it backed up on its own and i am grateful the car behind me had already moved back or it would of caused a collision. The car only has 78k miles and has been very well taken care of. To replace the transmission it costs me $3500!! A car with only 78kmiles should not need a transmission replaced! |
