| Description of the problem | I own a 2004 nissan maxima. Ayear ago i noticed a jerk going from 1st gear to 2nd gear. We took it to a transmission shop and they stated i would need a new transmission. At a cost of $ 4000 . I have checked with nissan and they refuse to cover the expense, the jerk is so bad that it feels like some one is rear ending you when you come to a stop and then try to accelerate. This is a extreme safety issue since have a 4 year old and have to transport him back and forth to day care and drive to work. There is many of people on the internet who are experiencing the same problem and even when the transmission is replaced, the problem still continues. |
