Consumer Description

2004 NISSAN MAXIMA, 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION 4-DOOR SEDAN. AT 73,000 MILES, A GRINDING NOISE BEGAN WHEN SHIFTING INTO SECOND GEAR. ALSO, SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO 'SEIZE' WHERE YOU COULD NOT SHIFT AT ALL; THIS ALL CULMINATED WHILE ON A TRIP TO THE BICYCLE SHOP WITH MY 3 KIDS, GETTING STRANDED (LUCKILY MADE IT TO A PARKING LOT) WHERE THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT EVEN COME OUT OF GEAR. TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP, AND AFTER $1300 IN REPAIRS (NEW CLUTCH) THE 'SEIZING' PROBLEM IS BACK 2 MONTHS LATER, AND THE GRINDING WAS NEVER FIXED; THEY TOLD ME THAT WOULD BE AN EXTRA $1300... LOOKS LIKE MANY SENTRAS ARE HAVING SIMILAR SYNCHRONIZER ISSUES AS MY MAXIMA - AS WELL AS OTHER MAXIMAS. WHY CAN'T WE HOLD NISSAN ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR PRODUCT DEFICIENCIES? PLEASE HELP - THANKS!! *TR
