| Description of the problem | I own a 2004 nissan maxima. Here recently my transmission has been slipping, i began to look online for recalls and found that several other owners have had the same problem. I think nissan should recall this problem, because my car only has 85,000 miles and has been well taken care of. I took it to the shop and was told they wasn't for sure but thought it was the valve body that needed to be replaced,and it was going to cost 2,000-3,000 dollars, i was astonished that this would happen. I thought nissan was supposed to be a well made car that is why we bought it. Also the mechanic i took my car to said he did not know what the problem was cause it was not showing anything on the machine, so he called nissan and they told him what it was and they had several of that part that was needed to fix the car in stock, so they obviously know at nissan that they would be needing several of those parts to have so many readily available and i think nissan should be ashamed of themselves for that and not recalling the part. Obviously nissan would not be making a part that cost so much money and not be able to sell them so shame on them. |
