Consumer Description

I PURCHASED MY 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA SL ON 4/12/11 AND TWO DAYS LATER STARTED HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AT 113000 MILES. ACCORDING TO A LOCAL TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP AND AAMCO, I WILL NEED A NEWLY DESIGNED TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY (APPROX $1500), NEW, OR REBUILT TRANSMISSION ($3000-$4000). CAR JERKS INTO 1ST GEAR AT LOW SPEED. WHEN LOOKING ONLINE I SAW NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS EXACTLY LIKE MINE, INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY. THERE APPEARS TO BE AN OBVIOUS SYSTEMATIC DEFECT BY NISSAN. THIS PROBLEM COULD EASILY OCCUR IF ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE OR PULLING INTO TRAFFIC ON A FREEWAY. THIS PROBLEM ALSO QUALIFIES AS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS LIVES COULD BE LOST. NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THE 2004-2006 YEAR MODEL MAXIMAS TO ENSURE NOONE LOSES THEIR LIFE. *TR
