NHTSA Complaint #10410846 — 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA

WE HAVE BEEN HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH MY 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. IT STARTED A FEW MONTHS AGO. IT STARTS TO JERK GRADUALLY. IT REALLY DOESN'T START DOING IT UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS HOT AND HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR A WHILE. WE TOOK IT TO GET DIAGNOSED BUT IT DID NOT READ AS THE TRANSMISSION AT FIRST. AS THE PROBLEM PROGRESSED, WE TOOK IT AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND THAT IT WAS GOING TO COST A WHOLE BUNCH OF MONEY THAT WE DO NOT HAVE. I STARTED TO DO RESEARCH ON MY ISSUE. JUST TO FIND OUT THAT I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE BUT MANY MORE LIKE ME. FOOD FOR THOUGHT, I HAVE IN-LAWS WITH OLDER NISSANS THAT ARE STILL RUNNING WITH OVER 200 THOUSAND MILES ON THEM. THEY NEVER HAD TO REPLACE ANY MECHANICAL PARTS BECAUSE OF HOW GOOD THEY WERE MADE THEN. WHAT DOES THAT TELL US ABOUT THE NEWER MODELS. THEY WERE NOT MADE TO LAST AND WE THE CONSUMERS ARE TO PAY FOR IT. NOT THEM. THESE DEFECTIVE NISSANS THAT WERE MADE AND PURCHASED IN MID 2000'S MAY HAVE NOT BEEN IN ACCIDENTS/CAUSED ACCIDENTS/INJURIES BUT WE WANT TO AVOID THAT. WE NEED NISSAN TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THESE PROBLEMS WE ARE HAVING WILL AND MIGHT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. ALL WE ARE ASKING FOR IS TO HAVE OUR VEHICLES TAKEN CARE OF. *TR
