| Description of the problem | I have a 2004 nissan maxima se & it has severe issues with vehicle jerking into gears, jerking while riding at slow speeds, jerking with engine revving when trying to pick up speed. I am not sure what lead up to this issue, but it is not safe possibly causing an accident leading to serious injuries or death. The failure which seems to be some type of default with the transmission occurs everyday when,driving especially in stop and go traffic. I cannot afford to pay $3500 for a new or rebuilt transmission, but i did have my transmission fluid changed at a nissan dealer, but that did not help the problem at all. |
