| Description of the problem | 2004 nissan maxima. I notice the transmission was slipping when changing gears. It also was jerking repeatedly while changing into 1st and 2nd gear and then back down from 2nd to 1st. I was told by a nissan service advisor that my car needed a transmission flush. I had the flush done on the car, problems still exist. Nissan now says i need a new transmission. I traded the car in for another maxima. Thinking it was something just with the 2004 model. I now have the same issue with my 2006 maxima. There are thousands of people with this same problem. This transmission should be recalled, before someone get hurt and nissan stop stealing people hard earned money. When they know something is wrong with the car. |
