I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA WITH UNDER 90,000 MILES. I AM EXPERIENCING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THE CAR JERKS WHEN I SLOW DOWN AND DOES THE SAME THING GOING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. I STARTED HAVING THIS PROBLEM ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND I TOOK THE CAR TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP WHICH I WAS TOLD IT NEEDED A TRANSMISSION/ENGINE MOUNTS WHICH WERE REPLACED, AFTER A WEEK THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME, BUT I READ THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND NISSAN IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THERE HAS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH SHOULD BE A RECALL. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN SUGGEST CAN DO PLEASE HELP. MY WARRANTY IS OVER AND I KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. I PURCHASED THE CAR BECAUSE OF THE STYLE AND NISSAN REPUTATION FOR HAVING RELIABLE CARS. THEIR REPUTATION IS TAKING A HIT BECAUSE OF THE FACT THEY ARE NOT SHOWING ANY CONCERNS ABOUT PROBLEM WHY WHY WHY WHY IS NOTHING BEING DONE!!!!!!!!!! *KB
