| Description of the problem | My 2004 nissan maxima jerks/bangs when changing low gears. It makes my entire car bang loudly and jerk forward causing me to jerk forward as well. I have banged myself on the steering wheel numerous times. I read online thousands of complaints of this same issue. The dealerships try to tell me all these different things need to be fixed, but i know from all the other complaints its a faulty transmission in these cars and it needs to be recalled!!! |
