Consumer Description

FOR THE PAST MONTH, MY 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA HAS BEEN HAVING SOME PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN DRIVING, AS THE CAR SHIFT BETWEEN GEARS 1-3, THERE ARE SOME LOUD NOISES AND THE CAR JERKS FORWARD WITH EVERY GEARSHIFT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AS THE JERKS PROPEL THE CAR FORWARD BETWEEN EVERY GEARSHIFT. I DID A COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC ON THE CAR AND THE RESULTS WERE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE VALVE BODY ASSEMBLY ON THE TRANSMISSION. I THEN WENT ONLINE AND SAW THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE AND ALL OF THE CARS, WERE BETWEEN 2005 -2008 AND MILEAGE RANGED FROM 78000 TO 95000. WITH ALL OF THESE COMPLAINTS THAT ARE ONLINE OF THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR, I AM SURPRISED THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR THIS PARTICULAR CAR'S PROBLEMS. IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THERE ARE SOME MAJOR DEFECTS WITH THIS PARTICULAR TRANSMISSION. CALLED A TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP AND THEY VERIFIED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MANY NISSAN MAXIMA CARS THAT HAVE BEEN REPAIRED AT ITS SHOP. THERE PROJECTED REPAIR PRICES RANGE FROM $3000-$4000. *TR
