Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: (1) over the past three years, i have documented a maintenance issue that i have been having with my 2004 nissan maxima se. i originally explained to nissan consumer affairs that my transmission was malfunctioning. (2) the clutch pedal would randomly and intermittently loose pressure/resistance while i was operating the vehicle. (3) i took the vehicle in for diagnosis and repair, at which the dealership was not able to duplicate the symptom i was experiencing (because it is random and intermittent). however, they were not driving it under the conditions that i was driving. they would test drive it for a few miles and conclude there was nothing wrong. i find a discrepancy in this methodology, because some symptoms may only occur after prolonged continuous use (which is apparently the case for my vehicle). on one occassion, i was not able to operate the vehicle, and was stranded in a middle lane of i-75. this is a safety issue because the resulting inoperability of the vehicle while in traffic poses an immediate threat for rear-end and possibly other types of crashes. i also travel with my two kids (ages 6 and 5) quite regularly, and i can no longer put them at risk.
