I've read the service bulletins about the
slipping and still can't decipher whether
my VIN# applies to the problem Maxima's.
I notice a slip from 2nd to 3rd mostly in
the morning when the car is cold. How can
I tell how old my car is and if my VIN#
applies? And if so, what is the next step
from there? How do I prove it to the dealer?
If there is any problem, they usually nudge it
off like it's no big deal. In the beginning when
I first got my car, it was pulling to the side,
everytime I went to the dealer they made like
I was the crazy one.

Thanks.

Howie

I think those VIN #'s apply to 2k1 models.....I believe all 2k models are affected....

I went to the dealer today about the "latest". They said they couldn't reproduce the problem (the slippage); therefore, they weren't doing anything.

bring the TSB with you

Take the TSB with you when you go to the dealer. Thats what I did and they test drove mine and some of the other cars on the lot and said that they would fix it. It took me 3 trips to the dealer, last time was with the TSB and they listened?

It took me 5 times.. just remember you do have 5 years on your powertrain so keep driving hard until it wears out more or you can reproduce it easily then take it back in. Or try other dealers.
