Consumer Description

2005 NISSAN MAXIMA TRANSMISSION PROBLEM - MY CAR BEGAN MAKING A VERY LOUD KNOCKING SOUND WHEN I WOULD SHIFT FROM PARK TO DRIVE OR REVERSE. IT DOESN'T DO IT ALL THE TIME, BUT IT IS DOING IT MORE FREQUENTLY NOW. IN ADDITION MY TRANSMISSION HAS BEGUN TO SLIP WHILE DRIVING. I GOOGLED 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA ISSUES AND TO MY SURPRISE THERE ARE COUNTLESS COMPLAINTS ABOUT TRANSMISSION ISSUES WITH THE NISSAN MAXIMA. I AM SCHEDULED TO BRING MY CAR TO A MECHANIC TOMORROW MORNING, BUT I FEEL LIKE I KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS. IT APPEARS I WILL NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. MY CAR HAS UNDER 100K MILES AND IS TAKEN CARE OF VERY WELL. I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW IN DECEMBER OF 2004. *TR
