Consumer Description

I PULLED OUT AT A BUSY INTERSECTION AND MY NISSAN MAXIMA STALLED OUT, IT SEEMED LIKE IT WOULD NOT GO INTO FIRST GEAR, EVEN THOUGH I WAS PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR JUST WOULDN'T GO INTO GEAR! IT CAUSED OTHER CARS TO HAVE TO SLAM ON BRAKES AND DRIVE ON THE SHOULDER TO AVOID HITTING ME AND EACH OTHER! MY CAR FINALLY "JERKED" VIOLENTLY INTO GEAR. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THIS WAS A KNOWN DEFECT IN THE TRANSMISSION, 4,000 TO FIX!! MIND YOU THEY WILL REPLACE IT WITH A NEW DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION THAT THERE IT NO GUARANTEE IT WILL LAST MORE THAN 1 YEAR! NOT A SAFE CAR TO DRIVE IN METROPOLITAN AREAS! *TR
