| Description of the problem | I purchased a 2004 nissan maxima in 2004. I recently begin to experience jerks in my transmission when down shifting and when taking off from 1st to 2nd. This is so disappointing since nissan was suppose to be one of the more reliable vehicles. I took my car to dealership;however, they laugh when i told them what year and the problem i was having. They stated we can put a new one in for you at $3500. This was disappointing of nissan, since they offered no assistance with replacement. I have read several articles on line in regards to nissan and the issue with the transmission and to this day nissan has done nothing to recall this defect part. |
