Transmission has been jerking a lot.
I'm very glad to come across this website. I am going through the same issues with my 2004 Nissan Maximum SE.
My transmission has been jerking a lot and it is so frustrated when you take it to the dealer and all they tell you is "you need to buy a new transmission", which it'll cost me 3k plus to get it fix. They also indicated that there is no alternative but to buy a new one.
Having to read all the comments on here, I am ready to contact the Nissan corporate tomorrow. Last time I spoke to them was regarding my transmission. They indicated that there was no recall and they have not heard any complaints from others. But when I spoke to the Nissan Superior dealer, the engineer there told me they change a lot of transmission because of this problem. This is why I don't understand why they have not yet recall this.
I thought Nissan were supposed to have better engines, but after reading all this I don't think I'll be looking forward to buying another Nissan car.
No Japanese car has the reliability or build quality of the newer domestics. I'd check out the top-rated Fusion, Car of the Year Malibu, or the incredible new Pontiac G8. We've owned imports. That's why we now drive only domestics.
Yes, I'm having the same problem with my Nissan. They told me the same thing; that I needed another transmission. I'm trying to figure out why there's know recall. I was thinking about a trade in, but I owe to much, I might trade it anyway, but I don't think I will be getting another one.
This was the car that I thought I could enjoy, but the jerking got on my nerves. They should recall this at once.
I was thinking of buying a Nissan Sentra, but I think I'm gonna go for the Focus now. I had an 04 Camry; I got burned on big time. I have an 99 Honda Civic now, but after this no more Japanese cars for me. I'll buy Korean or American from here on out.
