EXCESSIVE HARD JERKING (UP & DOWNSHIFTING) OF TRANSMISSION BETWEEN GEARS. FREQUENTLY STICKS IN 5TH GEAR WILL NOT DOWNSHIFT UNTIL CAR IS TURN OFF AND RESTARTED. HARD SHORT LEFT TO RIGHT JERKING OF STEERING WHEEL WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED, GETS STRONGER WHEN SLOWING FROM HIGHER SPEEDS. EXCESSIVE JERKING WHEN CAR SHIFTS BETWEEN GEARS CAUSED US WHIPPED LASH OVERTIME. TOOK TO MECHANIC AND FOUND THAT ROTORS ARE ALSO WARP CAUSING STEERING WHEEL TO VIBRATE. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA THAT A FRIEND WAS DRIVING ON SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 23,2007. THERE WAS 3 OF US IN THE CAR. WE WERE GOING THROUGH A TRAFFIC LIGHT THAT WAS GREEN WHEN A COP RAN THE RED LIGHT AND WE BASICALLY T-BONED HIM RIGHT IN THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE POLICE CAR. THE OFFICER WAS IN CHASE OF A STOLEN CAR. THE WHOLE FRONT END HAS DAMAGE ON MY CAR. YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THE AIRBAG SENSORS IN FRONT BUT THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED! I AM WONDERING WHY THIS WOULD BE AND WHAT CAN BE DONE? *JB
