| Description of the problem | Vehicle started to slam into gears and hesitate to move. Gear shifter moves freely through all the gears no problem. However, on my way into work one day the transmission made a loud thud and would not move any longer. Dealership stated that they could fix it for $4,000. The vehicle was just about a year outside of its warranty. You can place the car into gear and the rpm's will drop like it should, however, when you press on the accelerator the car does not move. The car has been parked since then. I have read hundreds of reports from other nissan maxima owners that have had the same or similar issues. |
