My 2006 Nissan Maxima jerks and slips @ 170000 KMS. Flushed transmission fluid and no difference. This is no good as i have owned these vehicles all my life.  
This should have been a recall from Nissan.  
What shall i do now with it.

Sounds like you waited to long to flush it, probably needs a rebuild now.  
Kind of like putting suntan lotion on after you got sunburned.

You have owned Nissan Maxima’s since you were born ?  
Recalls are not for mechanical problems on a 13 year old vehicle - recalls are for safety problems.  
You either have a transmission rebuild or replaced , that simple .
