2004 Nissan Maxima Sedan 3.5 SE 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6M)
Transmission Shot
 I purchased a 04 max, from the beginning i've had problems. The headliner had to be replaced because the fabric was peeling. The brakes have been awful, had to replace the sun roof, not the oval shaped one. The mileage is currently 71,000 miles and my transmission is completely shot. The car would jerk in the gears, especially when I'm reversing then shifting to drive.   The dealer says there are metal shavings inside the transmission and it needs to be replaced. This is gonna cost me $4900, parts and labor. I owe 2 more months payment on the car. When I finally own it, I cant drive it. Was gonna buy an Armada, but now I will never buy another Nissan again. Very disappointed.
