Consumer Description

FOR THE PAST 2 MONTHS MY 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA HAS, AT PERIODIC TIMES, STARTS PUTTERING LIKE IT IS ABOUT TO STALL, THEN SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. DOES THIS FOR EITHER A FEW MILES OR MY ENTIRE TRIP. IT ALSO JERKS VERY HARD WHEN CHANGING GEARS, EX FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. WITH IN THE LAST MONTH THE TRANSMISSION NOW FEELS LIKE IT IS SLIPPING. RECENTLY, GOT STUCK AT A RED LIGHT IN A VERY BUSY CITY DISTRICT B/C MY CAR WAS FINE BUT THEN WOULD NOT MOVE, FINALLY JERKED BACK TO LIFE & STARTED GOING BUT AT THE NEXT STOP LIGHT DID THE SAME THING. I HAVE BEEN DOING TONS OF READING ON THIS & IT SEEMS LIKE 2004 NISSAN MAXIMAS HAVE A HORRIBLE REPUTATION ON THEIR TRANSMISSIONS. I BELIEVE DO TO ALL OF THESE COMPLAINTS A RECALL NEEDS TO BE DONE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I CANNOT AFFORD TO KEEP THROWING THOUSAND OF DOLLARS ON A CAR THAT I HAVE ALWAYS SERVICED PROPERLY & UNTIL I HOT THE 100K MILEAGE MARK NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE DUE TO THE SEVERE JERKING WHILE CHANGING GEARS, STALLING OUT, ETC. PLEASE LOOK INTO ASAP. THANKS
