2003 Nissan Maxima review from North America

What things have gone wrong with the car?

My transmission started to jerk intermittently at around 70k miles. I took it to the dealer and they said they could not duplicate the symptom.

Now at 90k my car seems to be jammed in first gear with the check engine light on, and the dealership wants to sell me a new transmission ($3900.00). I am having it rebuilt for $3000.00.

I had no idea that so many people were experiencing this issue, and I agree that Nissan should take action, not our money.

I will be reporting this issue to Nissan's Corporate Office, with copies of all these complaints, and hope they give a damn.

If anybody has an update or resolution, you can reach me at mark_trevino0990@yahoo.com

A sports-sedan that delivers with plenty of power.
