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. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION THROWS ITSELF INTO 5TH GEAR AND THE WHOLE VEHICLE JERKS WHEN IT HAPPENS. NOW IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY, THE FLUID IS CLEAN ASWELL AS THE FILTER, THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE MAXIMA OF THAT GENERATION. I AM AN EMPLOYEE OF TOYOTA AND I REALLY THINK THIS IS UNSAFE AND I KNOW NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUE BUT WILL NOT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE OF THE PRICE OF WHAT THE RECALL MAY BE BUT THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR
