Consumer Description

MY MAXIMA IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND IT STARTED JUMPING AND HESITATING WHILE DRIVING. THE NISSAN REPAIR SHOP SAID THAT MY TRANSMISSION IS BAD AND IT LOOKS LIKE 'GLITTER' INSIDE.THEY HAVE TO REPLACE IT. APPARENTLY NISSAN HAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM BECAUSE OF THESE CVT TRANSMISSIONS. THEY ARE NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THE PROBLEM WITH THE MAXIMAS BECAUSE THEY SAID IT IS NOT HAPPENING AS OFTEN AS IN THE SMALLER CARS. MY CAR IS A LITTLE BIT OUT OF WARRANTY SO THEY STILL MADE ME PAY A PORTION OF THE TRANSMISSION EVEN THOUGH THEY KNEW IT WOULD BREAK. ITS NOT RIGHT THEY SHOULD BE COVERING A 4 YEAR OLD CARS TRANSMISSION GOING BAD IN FULL WHEN THEY KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEMS. *TR
