Transmission failure at 80000 miles. Jerking etc. Started earlier around 75000 miles. Ridiculous. Please alert me to any class action suits.

A hose that moves antifreeze coolant into vehicle I believe to be caked a vacuum hose fell off causing coolant to leak out completely... In addition the vehicle accelerates for no reason and jerks.. I was told to replace ask motor mounts which I did and still issue persists .. Now check engine light is on and stating the solenoids in transmission need to be replaced... Van loses power unexpectedly. . This happens while driving mostly at low speeds

When driving the car engine sounded as if it was going to fall out of car found out the engine mounts were all broken and needed to be replaced. Replaced all the mounts and the car still jerks hard when driving and loses power sometimes and will rev very high when driving for no reason at all. Took car back to mechanic and was told had to replace transmission mounts after already replacing mounts for over 900 dollars.

Traveling at a steady 25 MPH on highway (conditions were slow due to inclement weather), vehicle suddenly downshifted very hard...felt like I was rear ended but wasn't...then check engine light illuminated. The engine was producing the power, but the transmission was not keeping up. It was slow to accelerate, wouldn't maintain speed uphill and downshifted hard when slowing. I headed directly for dealership and was told that my transmission had coded and required replacement. I had taken it into dealership several times previously complaining of significant power loss, hard and/or constant downshifting and loss of speed despite engine power. No problems were found until this incident. I replaced the transmission with new at a cost of just over $4700. I have put just under 2000 miles on the new transmission and am starting to have the same problem. Traveling to new york on the interstate, traveling with cruise control set at 68mph. Started ascending a large hill and the vehicle started slowing down. The transmission downshifted violently, engine RPM increased to almost 5000rpm but speed started dropping immediately. Could not make it up the highway and maintain current speed. The valves were screaming! I pulled over and shut the car off, restarted and then started again slowly. I could not get above 38 MPH without transmission reacting and engine RPM racing. Once I got over the hill, the car seemed okay as long as I didn't allow the RPM to increase too dramatically. It will not maintain speed in cruise control on hills.

Van started to develop a jerk when shifting from park to drive after vehicle has warmed up. Was told it needed motor mount and spent $2300 at nissan on friday 11/30/12 to have several repairs including the front motor mount. No jerking after work was done until sunday , 12/2/12. On monday 12/3/12 after driving my children to school, I put the vehicle in park to open the power side doors to let them out. When shifting back into drive the vehicle jerked violently and lurched forward about 2 feet. I did not hit the vehicle in front of me but had there been someone walking between the front of my vehicle and the back of the vehicle in front of me, I probably would have hit them. I don't think it is a major safety issue but there could be a hazard if the vehicle jerks forward at the wrong time. After researching online tonight I found that this is a known defect in the nissan altima, maxima, and quest vehicles that utilize this transmission. There is a class action law suit against nissan for continuing to allow the defective transmissions to be utilized after they were aware of the problems. See website (http://www.chimicles.com/nissan-transmission-failure-altima-maxima-and-quest-vehicles). There is also a website with owner's comments on having the same transmission failures totaling over 150 victims, see website http://classactionlawsuitsinthenews.com/class-action-lawsuit-complaints/nissan-maxima-altima-quest-automatic-transmission-class-action-lawsuit-complaint/#comments. Nissan refuses to issue a recall or any assistance with the defective transmission. Some have been replaced just to fail again in less than a year. A transmission should not fail at 65,000 miles as several have or last less than a year. Nissan needs to be held accountable.
