MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT IN 2003 I GOT IT REBUILT IT WENT OUT AGAIN IN 2004 EVERY PERSON I KNOW OWN A 1991-1994 NISSAN MAXIMA HAS THESE PROBLEMS AND I DONT THINK ITS RIGHT.SO THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE CARS TRANSMISSION.
WHILE DRIVING UP A HILL BETWEEN 45 AND 55 MPH TRANSMISSION WILL START VIBRATING. CONSUMER HAD TAKEN VEHICLE TO MECHANIC, AND HE SAID THAT NOISE AND VIBRATION WAS DUE TO SHIFTING GEAR. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION.*AK
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HOLDING 1ST GEAR UNTIL 5000-6000 RPMS. RIDES FINE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. DEALER DIAGNOSED PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION REQUIRING REPLACEMENT, INCLUDING NEW RADIATOR & LABOR AT A COST OF $3,600. DEALER FAILED TO MENTION THE TSBS ASSOCIATED WITH TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. PERHAPS, ADDRESSING THE ISSUES OUTLINED IN THE TSB WOULD MITIGATE THE PROBLEM I.E., A/T SOLENOID REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE. NISSAN POWERTRAIN WARRANTY IS 5 YEAR OR 60K. AUTO HAS 52K ORIGINAL HIGHWAY MILES. CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURE TO REQUEST LIBERAL INTERPRETATION OF WARRANTY POLICY IN LIGHT OF THE LOW MILEAGE. *AK

WHEN I SHIFTED THE TRANSMISSION TO "D" THE CAR DIDN'T MOVE. SO I BROUGHT THE CAR DOWN TO NISSAN SERVICES, THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AND TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND NEED TO REPLACE IT RIGHT AWAY. THEY SAID IT WOULD COST $4000 TO REPLACE IT. SO CAN YOU HELP ME FIND OUT IF THE CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY? OTHERWISE, CAN YOU GIVE US SOME ADVICE WHERE WE SHOULD GET IT FIX FOR A CHEAPER PRICE? THANK YOU VERY MUCH. *AK
