Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA AND SOMETHING SEEMS TO BE WRONG WITH IT BUT NO ONE KNOWS WHAT. WHEN THE CAR SHIFTS GEARS THERE IS A EXTREMELY HARD SHIFT, MAINLY BETWEEN 2ND & 3RD, AND 3RD & 4TH GEARS. ALSO WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND BACK INTO DRIVE THERE IS A SLIGHT PAUSE AND THEN AN EXTREMELY HARD JERK IN THE CAR. I HAVE TAKEN TO A MECHANIC AND HAD THE VALVE BODY REPLACED FOR $950 AND THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO GET BETTER FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS THEN IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLUID FLUSHED ABOUT 3 TIMES. I HAVE TALKED TO MANY MAXIMA OWNERS THAT HAVE THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AND NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. I AM TIRED OF SPENDING MONEY FOR GUESS WORK INSTEAD OF NISSAN DETERMINING THE PROBLEM AND SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO FIX THEIR PROBLEM. IF THIS IS WHAT I HAVE TO EXPECT FROM NISSAN, IT WILL DEFINATELY BE MY LAST ONE.
