Consumer Description

NOT LONG AGO MY NISSAN HAS STARTED TO HAVE SHIFTING ISSUES , WHEN I PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE IT TAKE A FEW SECONDS THEN IT JERKS INTO GEAR WHICH IS WEARING OUT THE MOTOR MOUNTS . I HAVE TRIED CHANGING CAMSHAFT SENSORS WHICH HAS HELPED SOME OTHER PEOPLE BUT DIDN'T NOT FIX MY PROBLEM. NOW THE CAR TAKES OFF WHILE IM DRIVING ! WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A LIGHT THE RPMS WILL JUMP TO 6K AND THE CAR WILL GRAB A GEAR AND TAKE OFF WHICH HAS BEEN VARY UNCOMFORTABLE TO DRIVE LATELY BE CAUSE I AM AFRAID IT WILL RAM ME INTO A CAR INFRONT OF ME . I REALLY LIKE MY CAR INSIDE AND OUT BUT THIS SHIFTING PROBLEM IS KILLING ME AND I DON'T HAVE $4K TO HAVE A NEW TRANSMISSION INSTALLED , I HAVE NO OTHER CARS SO I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE IT TO WHERE I NEED TO GO. I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD THE CAR FOR MORE THAN A FEW MONTHS SO I AM TRAPPED MAKING PAYMENTS ON IT EVEN IF I CANT DRIVE IT .I HAVE READ ON MANY DIFFERENT FORUMS ABOUT PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AND HAVEN'T FOUND A WAY TO FIX IT , WITH AS MANY REVIEWS OF PEOPLE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEIR MAXIMA THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE . *TR
