Consumer Description

I ALMOST GOT INVOLVE INTO AN ACCIDENT. I JUST BOUGHT A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA SE (AUTOMATIC) AND ITS GIVING ME TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS (WHEN THE CAR IS HOT) BETWEEN SECOND AND THIRD GEAR, SOMETIMES FROM FIRST TO SECOND. I JUST WANTED TO BUY A RELIABLE CAR BECAUSE WE WERE GOING TO HAVE A BABY. SHE WAS IN THE CAR WHEN THE ACCIDENT WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. MY WIFE, MY 4 MONTHS OLD BABY AND I WHERE GOING TO SEE MY FAMILY AND NEEDED TO TAKE THE HIGHWAY. I NEEDED TO MAKE A STOP BEFORE ENTERING THE HIGHWAY (TO ENTER TO THE RIGHT LANE). SINCE MY CAR JERKS WHEN IT SHIFTS FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR AND FROM SECOND TO THIRD GEAR, A TRACTORTRAILER ALMOST HIT ME WHEN I ENTERED THE HIGHWAY. BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION IN MY CAR IS NOT RELIABLE. IT MIGHT GET ME INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE DESIGN FLAW FROM THE NISSAN CORPORATION. I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON COMPLAINING ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION ON 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA MODELS. GIVE ME A CALL OR SEND ME AN EMAIL IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. *TR LOU VALDO
