| Description of the problem | My husband and i own 2004 maxima. We are experiencing a transmission problem right about it got to 85000 miles. We have started noticing the delayed gear contact to make the car go and very hard jerking into the gear. It happened under slow traffic . The cars are ok to drive on the highways. I have contacted the nissan and was told since it passed the 60000 miles it is out of warranty. We bought both cars as certified pre owned which supposedly covers the transmission up to the 100000 miles. When i took it to the dealership it was a day out of warranty. Nissan knew about this problem and they are not doing anything about it . They sold us a defected vehicles knowing they have problem with it . I have seen hundreds if not thousand of complaint with their 2004-2007 nissan maxima transmission. I am surprise they have not done any recall on them. Nissan should be accountable for their mistake and pay for the replacement. Like i said we owe 2 nissan maximas , it is going to cost me $10,000 to fix those cars. What does it take for nissan to own to their mistake ? |
