Consumer Description

HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES SHIFTING INTO AND OUT OF FIRST GEAR. HESITATION AND "CLUNKING FEELING". CAR HAS ALWAYS HAD SLIGHT HESITATION SHIFTING INTO/OUT OF FIRST SINCE PURCHASED NEW, BUT IS MUCH WORSE AT HIGHER MILEAGE. DEALER RECOMMENDED TRANSMISSION FLUSH, HAS NOT SOLVED PROBLEM. I HAVE SEEN MANY ONLINE COMPLAINTS WITH SAME PROBLEM, AND SAME FLUSHING RECOMMENDATION THAT DOES NOT FIX PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. WAITING FOR REPAIR ESTIMATES, BUT SEEING ANYTHING FROM $3000-5000. I THINK THERE HAS BEEN A DEFECT SINCE BEGINNING WITH THIS TRANSMISSION ON THE 2005 MAXIMA, BUT HAS NOW BECOME TOO NOTICEABLE TO IGNORE. *TT
