Description of the problem	I had gears banging and jerking from p-r, p-d, d-r, 2-3, 3-4, 4-3 and 3-2. Also when driving under 25mph, if i let off the gas to slow down, then accelerate, the rpms jump almost to redline, then the gear catches and rockets the car forward! Very dangerous! Also while driving i came to a stop at a red light, when the light turned green i pressed the gas pedal to find the car would accelerate very slowly. I shifted to manual mode to find the transmission was stuck in 5th gear. I pulled over, turned car off, restarted minutes later and it was fine. The next day i get in my car to find i had reverse, but its stuck in 5th gear again when shifted to d/manual. I have been without a car for 1 year and 6 months now because of this. Nissan knows about this defect, but will not admit it because they are making so much money selling $5,000 transmissions and $1,500 valve bodies. Not to mention labor fees and all the small parts to people trying to fix this themselves. Nissan made 8 different versions of this valvebody trying to get it right, but finally gave up and just put a cvt tranny in the 09' and newer maximas. Leaving the 6th gen owners to fend for ourselves. I spent $15,000 on my maxima, now i have to spend $5,000 every 2 years just to keep it? That's not right. Nissan you have lost my love and respect. Your about to lose me as a customer. You should show your loyal customers some real loyalty and recall the aw55-50/51sn re5f22a transmissions. Not only because this is your fault, but also because there are children that ride in these cars and its only a matter of time before someone is killed. Do you want a child's blood on your hands nissan? Man up and take responsibilty before that happens and maybe you'll save your company.
