Consumer Description

MY 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA V6 3.5L A5 SPEED HAS SOME VERY SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION, WHEN DRIVING IT AFTER A WHILE, THE TRANSMISSION JERKS OR KICKS WHEN PLACED IN REVERSE OR DRIVE AND THE RPMS RISES SUDDENLY OR DROPS WHEN DRIVING IT AT A NORMAL SPEED. THE CATALYST CONVERTER OBD LIGHT ALSO KEEPS COMING ON. WE HAVE SEEN COUNTLESS OF SIMILAR CONCERNS POSTED ON SOCIAL NETWORKS AND ONLINE WEBSITES REGARDING ALL 2005 NISSAN MAXIMAS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE AS WE NOW KNOW. WE AS CONSUMERS BELIEVE THAT THE TRANSMISSION DESIGN HAS A MAJOR FLAW AND THAT NISSAN USA HAS BEEN KNOWINGLY SELLING CARS WITH SUCH FLAWS. WE NEED TO HAVE A GOVERNMENT MANDATE TO DO A NATIONWIDE RECALL ON THIS TRANSMISSIONS. THANKS *TR
