2006 Nissan Maxima

THE VEHICLE SHIFTS GEARS IN A VERY ROUGH JERKING MOTION. I HAVE EXPERIENCE LATE GEAR ENGAGEMENT, WHICH HAVE RESULTED IN MULTIPLE NEAR COLLISION ACCIDENTS. JERKING ALSO OCCURS WHEN CHANGING FROM REVERSE INTO DRIVE. WHEN PRESSING DOWN ON GAS DURING HIGHWAY TRAVEL, THE RPM'S RAISE AND THEN A FEW SECONDS LATER THE CAR WILL JERK INTO GEAR AND THEN THE SPEED WILL INCREASE. *TR

THIS CAR HAS HAD HARDSHIFTS, BETWEEN 2-3 GEARS AND HORRIBLE DOWNSHIFTS. NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THESE ISSUES. FLAIR SHIFTS WHEN COASTING. SLIPPING IN AND OUT OF GEARS. PLEASE HELP! THE CAR SHIFTS ERRATICALLY AND THIS IS DUE TO A PRODUCTION ISSUE WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS. NISSAN KNOWS OF THESE PROBLEMS AND THAT'S WHY THEY NOW USE CVT TRANSMISSIONS. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL! *TR
