NHTSA Complaint #10422978 — 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA

PURCHASED A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA USED WITH AROUND 46K MILES ON IT. I HAVE LOVED THE CAR UP UNTIL IT RECENTLY HIT 65K MILES AND HAS STARTED JERKING WHILE SHIFTING, ALSO PUTTING INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE FROM PARK WILL BE DELAYED. IT JERKED SO HARD THE OTHER DAY THAT IT CAUSED THE CHECK ENGINE SOON LIGHT TO COME ON. TOOK TO A LOCAL MECHANIC THAT HAS BEEN DOING OIL CHANGES, A/C REPAIR, MINOR MAINTENANCE...THEY SAID THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS SHOT, I NEEDED 3 ENGINE NEW ENGINE MOUNTS FROM THE JERKING, AND ENGINE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY SUGGESTED I TAKE TO THE NISSAN DEALER. I TOOK IN AND THEY CALLED ME THE NEXT DAY AND SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE ANY ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE, AND THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ON. THEY ARE SWEEPING THIS WELL KNOWN TRANSMISSION PROBLEM UNDER THE RUG, BUT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE HERE, AND A RECALL SHOULD BE A MUST WITH OVER 300 PLUS COMPLAINTS JUST HERE ALONE DOCUMENTED FOR THIS SAME ISSUE ON THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL!!! NISSAN NEEDS TO STEP UP BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED. *TR
