2004 Nissan Maxima

2004 MAXIMA TRANSMISSION AUTOMATIC WITH / MANUAL PROBLEM AND POSSIBLE LINK TO A SENSOR? TRANSMISSION JERKS WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND WITH HIGH RPM'S WITH A DELAY THEN SLAMMING INTO GEAR. DANGEROUS WHEN HAPPENING IN TRAFFIC, CAR DOES NOT SHIFT FAST ENOUGH TO GET THE PROPER SPEED TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC COMING FROM BEHIND. ALSO NOTICING THAT WHEN BRAKING FROM A HIGH SPEED GOING DOWN HILLS IT SEEMS TO BRING ON THE PROBLEM TOO. HAVE BEEN TO REPAIR SHOPS, AGAIN NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IT CAN BE WITH OUT SPENDING A ZILLION DOLLARS ON ALL THAT THEY THINK IT COULD BE. WAITING FOR A OTHER TRANSMISSION WHICH I FEEL THAT IT IS A WASTE BECAUSE IF THEY CAN'T FIND OUT WHAT THIS PROBLEM IS ON THIS TRANSMISSION THEN IT IS ONLY GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN ON THE NEXT .WE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR A WHILE NOW ,BUT BECAUSE OF THE COST OF ANOTHER TRANSMISSION AND THE COST OF LABOR WE HAVE BEEN USING THE CAR AS CAREFULLY AS WE CAN. AFTER READING OF ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET HOPEFULLY SOMETHING WILL BE DONE. WE ARE PAST THE WARRANTY LIKE EVERYONE ELSE THAT HAS FILED A COMPLAINT . THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF FROM NISSAN A LONG TIME AGO. *TR

AT 50,000 MILES AUTO PRESENTED PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION. JERKING AS IF SOMEONE HIT ME ON THE REAR BUMPER. CAR SLOWS DOWN ON STOP LIGHTS AND HIGHWAYS. TOOK IT TO NISSAN DEALER SHOP SINCE BRAND NEW AND ALWAYS TOLD THEM ABOUT JERKY MOVEMENTS. WHEN AUTO WAS 5 YEARS TRANSMISSION BEGAN HAVING SERIOUS PROBLEMS. TOOK IT TO NISSAN DEALER AND THEY DID TRANSMISSION FLUSH. THEY DID NOT WANT TO DO A SCAN ON THE ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION. DISMISSED AS NOT NECESSARY (SEPT 2009). THEY ACKNOWLEDGED FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS IN THESE CARS AND SUGGESTED A NEW TRANSMISSION. AFTERWARDS THE CAR HAS GONE BAD. I CALLED NISSAN REPS AT NISSAN NORTH AMERICA AND WAS REFERRED TO LOCAL OFFICE. FINALLY I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP WHERE IT IS SITTING RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I FEAR FOR MY LIFE WHILE DRIVING. NOT ABLE TO CHANGE LANES OR ACCELERATE IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. *TR

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 82,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.
