Consumer Description

WHEN CAR IS WARM AND I SHIFT FROM PARK TO DRIVE, THE CAR HESITATES, JERKS AND TAKE A FEW SECONDS TO GO INTO GEAR. ALSO, UPON ACCELERATING ON A HIGHWAY ON-RAMP, THE RPMS REV UP HIGH BUT THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE AS EXPECTED WHICH BOGS DOWN THE RESPONSE. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT NUMEROUS TIMES MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY OR TRYING TO GET UP A RAMP. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE - EVEN MORE SO WHEN MY CHILDREN ARE IN THE BACKSEAT. UPON DOING RESEARCH ONLINE, I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT IT IS APPARENTLY A FUNCTION OF THE TRANSMISSION USED IN THE 2004 MAXIMA. I WILL BE GETTING THIS CAR FIXED BUT FELT THAT THIS ORGANIZATION NEEDED TO BE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR
