2006 Nissan Maxima transmition keeps sliping and jerking in-between gears. There is a growling noise coming from the engine. There is a squeeking coming from the front driverside shock. Took to Nissan dealership to have it inspected and ended up having to have the transmission rebuilt and they couldnt "reconstruct the noises from the shock" and they couldnt identify the what was causing the noise from the engine.
