I leased a 2005 Nissan Maxima and fell in love with the car so much that I purchased the car when the lease was up. Shortly thereafter, I began smelling burned oil. I also noticed the car began to jerk really hard going from park to drive and going from drive to reverse. I took it to the dealership and they informed me that the transmission was going bad and they were going to replace it. The car had approximately 44K miles on it at this point. The dealership replaced the transmission with a remanufactured one. The car was fined but seemed not to have the same power. Anyhow, three months in to having the remanufactured transmission I noticed the car would not go into the driving gear. The car would only move in reverse. The car only has 46,524 miles on it.
