Over time the problem has gotten significantly worse. while transmission attempts to shift, it "slips" and revs up until it "catches" and then jerks into gear. this happens when accelerating, and also while decelerating you get the jerk and loud "clunking". when changing gears from reverse to drive, the car will pause or hang up for a couple seconds before popping into gear, accompanied by a jerk again. when the engine is shifting and you hear / see the revs start to jump off you need to let off of the gas immediately in order to stop it from red-lining or jerking so hard you snap your neck. this appears to be a common problem with these model maximas. sad.

Bought this car for my daughters first car when she turned sixteen. she drove for one month and the transmission started jerking hard, reving up high, and slipping. she scared to drive now so the money i paid for this car is wasted. i'm a mother of two i don't have the kind of money they want to replace this transmission. she only needed to drive her sibling and her to and from school a mile down the rd but the car jerks on the way there. not a very dependable car for a nissan top of the line made vehicle. we have always had a nissan guess i need to switch brands since nissan does not want to fix the mistake they are responsible for.
