WHEN CAR IS WARM AND I SHIFT FROM PARK TO DRIVE, THE CAR HESITATES, JERKS AND TAKE A FEW SECONDS TO GO INTO GEAR. ALSO, UPON ACCELERATING ON A HIGHWAY ON-RAMP, THE RPMS REV UP HIGH BUT THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE AS EXPECTED WHICH BOGS DOWN THE RESPONSE. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT NUMEROUS TIMES MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY OR TRYING TO GET UP A RAMP. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE - EVEN MORE SO WHEN MY CHILDREN ARE IN THE BACKSEAT. UPON DOING RESEARCH ONLINE, I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT IT IS APPARENTLY A FUNCTION OF THE TRANSMISSION USED IN THE 2004 MAXIMA. I WILL BE GETTING THIS CAR FIXED BUT FELT THAT THIS ORGANIZATION NEEDED TO BE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

VEHICLE JERKS INTO GEARS WHEN SHIFTING UP, AS WELL AS SHIFTING DOWN. GEARS WILL OFTEN GET STUCK IN HIGH AND MANUAL SHIFT WILL SOMETIMES WORK. IT TAKES A WHILE FOR THE CAR TO GO FROM PARK TO DRIVE WHILE SITTING STILL AND JERKS WHEN IT FINALLY SHIFTS TO DRIVE. GEARS WILL OFTEN SLIP WHILE SHIFTING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD FROM 1ST GEAR TO 4TH GEAR. THE CAR WILL REV VERY HIGH AND THEN KICK LIKE A HORSE FOR THE GEARS TO SHIFT INTO PLACE. *TR

WE HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH OUR TRANSMISSION FOR A FEW MONTHS NOW, WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP (CERRITOS NISSAN) AND THEY SAY THE PROBLEM IS THAT WE NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THIS WILL BE OUR THIRD TRANNY AND THE CAR ONLY HAS 120,000+ MILES ON IT. OUR FIRST TRANSMISSION LASTED 5YRS. BEFORE HAVING TO BE REPLACED AND NOW THIS ONE HAS LASTED 3YRS. THE TRANSMISSION NOW IS STUCK IN 5TH GEAR WHEN YOU SWITCH TO THE TIP TRONIC SETTING TO SEE THE GEARING AND THIS IS THE REASON THERE IS NO POWER DURING ACCELERATION. WE ALSO NEED MOTOR MOUNTS NOW BECAUSE OF THE VIOLENT JERKING THAT THE TRANNY DOES WHEN PUT INTO GEAR. AND THE DEALERSHIP ALSO SAID WE NEEDED A TIMING CHAIN REPLACEMENT BECAUSE IT WAS BAD AS WELL, TOTAL REPAIR COST $6700.00+. I'VE RECENTLY TAKEN MY CAR TO ANOTHER MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE TIMING CHAIN WAS PERFECTLY FINE. OUR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW SWITCHES DO NOT WORK AGAIN, THAT WAS REPLACED 1YR AGO. AND WE ARE NOW ON OUR THIRD SET OF FRONT STRUTS. *TR
