| Description of the problem | I have a 2004 nissan maxima with a little over 90,000 miles. It is come to my attention that my vehicle is not the only 2004 nissan maxima with this problem. It slips out of gear and makes the vehicle jump as if someone rear ended me. It shifts really hard from ! St to 2nd even 3rd when i drive throughout the city. It does it only when the car warms up and it does it consistently. I've done a transmission flush which was required by the dealership and it stopped doing it for about 5 miles into the ride, then it began doing it. I went online and found thousands and thousands of people with the same vehicle and with the same problem. They all have done all the transmission repairs possible and the problem still maintains. I refuse to spend $4,000. 00 on a new transmission because i do not have that money. These transmissions need to be recalled. |
