Description of the problem	My 2004 nissan maxima has suffered severe transmission problems over the course of the last year. When the vehicle is switched from "park," to "drive," it sometimes takes several seconds to engage. When it does, the car jerks really bad. Also, the car jerks horribly bad when shifting between gears while driving. The jerking can be so severe at times, the car will veer to the left. I fee that this is a huge safety concern! The car has almost veered into oncoming traffic on more than one occasion! When the vehicle is at a dead stop (stop sign, red light, etc.), it will also take a few seconds to engage itself to drive. My nissan maxima has less than 60,000 miles! No car should be having such severe problems at such a young age. I have been reviewing this problem on the internet, and it appears that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of nissan maxima car owners who are having the same problem. It is absolutely ridiculous that nissan would turn a blind eye to an issue that they have to be aware of!! I have been a huge advocate of nissan, if this issue does not get resolved by nissan, you can bet that i will not only never buy a nissan again, but convince everyone i know to never buy a nissan.
