Description of the problem	I purchased my 2004 maxima 18 months ago. From the time i drove it off the lot it started shaking. I took it back to the dealer a total of 4 times each time they told me it was something different,from the rotors to a weight falling off the wheel(which they say i lost). I was driving on a interstate highway and the vehicle started shaking and pulling so bad i almost had an accident. When i took it back for the fifth time i was told i had to pay to have the vehicle fixed(i had not owned it but 2 months). Finally i took it to another dealer (same affiliate) who fixed it so the shaking was not as bad (after 3 visits). I have taken the vehicle back on several occasions since then,and now when the jerking has gotten worse,sometimes jerks so hard it hurts my neck. The gears jerk when changing. I thought i just had to deal with the fact that i brought a lemon,but after reading all these complaints (which are either the same or similar) i know nissan needs to correct these issues before someone is seriously hurt or loose there lives(as well as others). And i do plan to continue emailing sending letters,and calling until someone listens. Now i don't feel alone in this issue just pissed off. That nissan has allowed this to go on so long without addressing the safety issue of this vehicle.
