| Description of the problem | Car starting shifting extremely hard when changing from 1st to 2nd gear thought i was rear ended. Proceeded to research and came across many owners of this make model and year having the same issue and now as i change gears to park it idles for a few seconds then changes extremely loud and make a banging noise. I'm extremely worried for my safety due to the fact i commute back and fourth to work far distances and i bought this car at the nissan dealership with confidence my car only has 101,000 miles and its a 2004 so it hasn't been abused. |
