Consumer Description

IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, THE 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA TRANSMISSION WAS KNOCKING AND SLIPPING, HAD EXCESSIVE HIGH RPM'S CAUSING THE CAR TO "BURN RUBBER", AND JERKED HEAVILY WHEN SHIFTING. A RATING SEVERITY OF 10 IS GIVEN DUE TO HAVING HAD 4 NEAR MISS (POSSIBLE) ACCIDENTS IN A PERIOD OF 20 MINUTES. THE CAR WAS SENT TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND ITEMS WERE REPLACED THAT THE MECHANIC SAID WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM (ENGINE MOUNTS). THE CAR WAS DRIVEN AGAIN AND DISPLAYED THE SAME DEFECTS. THE CAR MANUFACTURE WAS NOTIFIED OF THESE DEFECTS ON 3/7/2013. THESE CONDITIONS POSE A SAFETY HAZARD NOT ONLY TO MYSELF BUT ALSO TO MY PASSENGERS (WHICH ARE FAMILY AND FRIENDS), OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD AS WELL AS INNOCENT PEDESTRIANS THAT MAY COME IN CONTACT WITH MY CAR WHEN I FINALLY DO HAVE THAT SERIOUS LIFE THREATENING ACCIDENT DUE TO MY TRANSMISSION DEFECT. *TR
