NHTSA Complaint #10631326 — 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA

THE 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA (AND OTHER MODELS DURING THIS YEAR) HAS A VALVE BODY DEFECT AND THE COMPANY REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE AND RECALL THE PROBLEM. THIS PART HELPS THE VEHICLE WITH SHIFTING THROUGH GEARS. AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE GOES FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR, THERE IS A HUGE VEHICLE JERK (SIMILAR TO BEING IN A REAR END CAR COLLISION). THE VEHICLE ALSO JERKS WHEN GOING FROM SECOND TO FIRST. AT TIMES, THE CAR EVEN DELAYS IN SHIFTING PUTTING THE DRIVER EVEN MORE AT RISK THERE ARE MANY CONSUMERS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE VALVE BODY IS SUCH AN ISSUE THAT THERE IS A PENDING LAWSUIT AGAINST NISSAN FOR THIS PROBLEM. DRIVING WITH A DEFECTED VALVE BODY IS AN ENORMOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND NISSAN FEELS IT IS NOT THEIR ISSUE TO DEAL WITH. *TR
