| Description of the problem | The car is jerking/bucking violently when shifting from reverse into drive and again when shifting into first and second gears. It is also jerking when downshifting from second to first gear. At first, the shifting problem was an occasional occurrence, however, it has progressively gotten worse. Now it is almost constant. After researching this problem, i have found that hundreds and hundreds of '04-05 maxima owners are experiencing the exact same problems. This is quite obviously a nissan manufacturing defect that should be corrected by nissan corp. |
