Consumer Description

PURCHASED 2002 NISSAN MAXIMA WITH UNDER 30K MILES 11/09. AT 35K MILES HAD TRANSMISSION SERVICED. NOW THE TRANSMISSION IS COMPLETELY SHOT AT 38K MILES. NISSAN IS REFUSING TO ADMIT A DEFECT OR A FAULT WHEN THERE ARE OVER 100K COMPLAINTS ONLINE TO VARIOUS WEBSITES AND THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS PATHETIC AND OFFENSIVE. THE VEHICLE HAS LOST 3RD AND 4TH GEAR AND IS LOSING 2ND SLOWLY BUT SURELEY. THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED YET NISSAN IS DENYING THE CLAIM BECAUSE OF THE YEAR IT IS. A QUICK SEARCH OF GOOGLE TELLS ME THAT 2002-2006 NISSAN MAXIMAS HAVE HORRIBLE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THIS SHOULD BE ESCALATED TO A RECALL DUE TO THE DANGERS OF HAVING THE TRANSMISSION DROP OUT OR HAVING IT CATCH FIRE WHICH WILL HAPPEN IF I CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY CAR THE WAY IT IS. I CANNOT AFFORD A $2500 TRANSMISSION WITH THE ECONOMY THE WAY IT IS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO MAKE THIS RIGHT. *TR
