CAR REVS UP ON ITS OWN, ALSO SLIPS WHEN ACCELERATING I PARKED THE CAR AND GEAR WOULD SLAM WHEN SHIFT FROM PARK TO DRIVE,REVERSE AND WHENEVER SHIFTED TOLD IT IS DUE TO A BAD BODY VALVE WHICH IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE 2004 THRU 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA AND OTHER NISSAN MODELS. *TR

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE AND THE POWER TRAIN WAS FINE. I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WHEN MY VEHICLES SHIFTS. IT MAKES HARD JERKS WHEN SHIFTING AND THE RPMS REV UP UNCONTROLLABLY. I GOT ONLINE TO RESEARCH FOR RECALLS AND HAVE YET FOUND ONE BUT WHAT I DID FIND IS NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM I'M HAVING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I CONTACTED NISSAN CORP. TO SEE WHY THERE IS NO RECALLS WITH SO MANY PEOPLE OBVIOUSLY HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THAT NHTSA DEALS WITH ALL RECALLS. THERE IS ALSO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT COMING TOGETHER ON THIS ISSUE. I'M JUST TRYING TO MAKE IT KNOW THAT SO MANY OF US ARE HAVING TO PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO HAVE THIS ISSUE WITH OUR TRANSMISSIONS CORRECTED. THIS HAS GOT TO BE A DEFECT IN THIS CERTAIN YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS SITUATION BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. I HAVE THREE SMALL CHILDREN THAT RIDE IN THIS VEHICLE. I WORRY EVERYTIME I DRIVE WITH THEM THAT SOMETHING TERRIBLE IS GOING TO HAPPEN. I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD BE COMPLETELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION THAT IT TAKES TO LOOK INTO SITUATIONS LIKE THIS. IT IS DEEPLY APPRECIATED. *TR
