Consumer Description

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 20-35 MPH, THE VEHICLE SLIPS AND STALLS IN AND OUT OF GEAR. THE FAILURE ALSO OCCURS BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEARS. OCCASIONALLY, THE TRANSMISSION KICKS INTO GEAR, BUT IT IS SO SEVERE THAT THE VEHICLE FINALLY ACCELERATES TO A VERY HIGH SPEED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT NEW ENGINE MOUNTS WERE NEEDED. HE DID NOT BELIEVE THAT NEW ENGINE MOUNTS WOULD CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,000.
