| Description of the problem | I am the original owner of a 2004 nissan maxima. I like many others that have filed a complaint, am experiencing a transmission failure. The failure starts on the downshift from second to first gear after the car has been driven about 20 miles. The transmission begins to jerk. I have also experienced late shift on acceleration and a hard "thunk" when shifting into reverse. Dealer quoted $4000 for transmission replacement. I have noticed several complaints filed with nhtsa for this same failure, a class action law suit that has been filed in sept. 2011, and several complaints on nissan forums. When will nissan be held accountable for a defective part? *js |
