POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, TIRES, EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER, TIRES:SIDEWALL
BIGGEST PROBLEM IS THE TRANSMISSION ON THE 2004 MAXIMA. IT STARTED WITH JERKING, AND SPEED CHANGES WHILE DRIVING. ROTATORS, AIR CONDITIONING, TIRES, STRUTS, AND TREMBLING IN WHEEL. TRANSMISSION IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. ALSO, THE STRUTS WERE REPLACED, TREMBLING IS STILL THERE, AIR CONDITIONING LOW AND HOSE REPLACED. BUT NOW IT RUMBLES WHEN TURNED ON. TIRES ALMOST COST ME LIFE ON EXPRESSWAY DUE TO CRACK IN SIDEWALLS. *AK

POWER TRAIN
I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA AND SOMETHING SEEMS TO BE WRONG WITH IT BUT NO ONE KNOWS WHAT. WHEN THE CAR SHIFTS GEARS THERE IS A EXTREMELY HARD SHIFT, MAINLY BETWEEN 2ND & 3RD, AND 3RD & 4TH GEARS. ALSO WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND BACK INTO DRIVE THERE IS A SLIGHT PAUSE AND THEN AN EXTREMELY HARD JERK IN THE CAR. I HAVE TAKEN TO A MECHANIC AND HAD THE VALVE BODY REPLACED FOR $950 AND THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO GET BETTER FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS THEN IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLUID FLUSHED ABOUT 3 TIMES. I HAVE TALKED TO MANY MAXIMA OWNERS THAT HAVE THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AND NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. I AM TIRED OF SPENDING MONEY FOR GUESS WORK INSTEAD OF NISSAN DETERMINING THE PROBLEM AND SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO FIX THEIR PROBLEM. IF THIS IS WHAT I HAVE TO EXPECT FROM NISSAN, IT WILL DEFINATELY BE MY LAST ONE.
