1 Manual Transmission problem

Failure Date: 01/08/2011

My 06 Nissan Maxima has 91 thousand miles on it's transmission but for the last 10 thousand miles it has I can feel the change of gears when I accelerate the car. I thought this was normal, but reading a lot of forums I was wrong. I even changed the transmission oil at 50 thousand miles to make sure it last longer. But thats not the case. I feel ripped off and screwed. Also when I park it moves 4 inches in either direction and its getting worse. I do oil changes regularly and have receipts to proof it. Thank you.

2 Manual Transmission problem

Failure Date: 09/18/2010

The power train manual transmission has a defect that causes it to go out. I have already been told its a manufactures defect but the company refuses to pay for my repairs because its after my warranty. I think that if the made a faulty product they should be held responsible. Not the consumer. I will supply my VIN number but after I am contacted. Thank you.

3 Manual Transmission problem

Failure Date: 12/19/2009

Transmission jerk into 1st gear. Transmission surge when accelerating after slowing down. Car jerks when going from drive to reverse. Problem occurs regularly when car is warmed up. After some research I found that many of Nissan owners are having the same problem. There should be a recall on these defect transmission. Its really not fair that there getting away with this and are still selling these defect cars. Right now my check engine light is on.
