| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The transmission shifts hard from 2nd to 3rd after driving about 20 minutes. Then it shifts hard up and down. When going from park or reverse into drive it will not engage gear and then slams into gear. While driving at freeway speeds it will slip gears. It also slips gears after pulling out at a stop sign. A diagnostic check revealed that it has a pressure control solenoid c stuck on . I have found many many online posts on forums about the same exact problem at about the same mileage on many 2004 maximas. I am concerned that i can not drive it safely and nissan knows about this failure in the car and choose to do nothing. |
