Consumer Description

AROUND 100,000 MILES MY 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA SE STARTED HAVING MINOR ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. IT STARTED SLAMMING INTO GEAR IN BETWEEN SHIFTS AND WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE OR REVERSE. IT DIDN'T DO IT ALL THE TIME SO I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT, BUT AS TIME WENT ON IT STARTED GETTING WORSE AND IT WOULD HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY. NOW IT HAS ABOUT 106000 MILES ON IT AND IT IS GETTING MUCH WORSE. THE OTHER DAY IT GOT STUCK IN 5TH GEAR WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT AND EVEN WITH THE CAR IN PARK IT WOULD STILL READ 5TH GEAR ON THE DASH. I ENDED UP RESETTING THE BATTERY AND IT CLEARED THE ISSUE LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO GET IT HOME. THE CAR IS STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUES MORE AND MORE EACH DAY AND I REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH LONGER IT WILL LAST. I REALLY LIKE THE CAR BUT I READ ON MANY FORUMS THAT 100'S OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AND I WAS REALLY HOPING TO BE CONSIDERED FOR A RECALL. I WOULD HATE TO PUT ANOTHER TRANSMISSION IN IT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUES AGAIN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. *TR
