I PURCHASED A USED 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA FROM THIS DEALERSHIP. THIS IS MY THIRD MAXIMA THAT I HAVE OWNED. I RECENTLY STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH MY CAR. IT STARTING HAVING TROUBLE SHIFTING INTO GEAR. I TOOK THIS TO THIS DEALERSHIP AND OF COURSE THEY CLAIMED THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE BEFORE. THEY CAME BACK AND SHOWED ME THIS BOTTLE FILLED WITH FLUID AND CLAIMED THAT THIS BLACK OIL WAS THE FLUID THEY TOOK FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THEY INSPECTED THE CAR AND TOLD ME THEY WOULD SEND IT TO THE NISSAN CORPORATE OFFICE TO SEE IF THEY WOULD CONSIDER A GOODWILL ASSISTANCE. IMMEDIATELY UPON LEAVING I TOOK MY CAR TO A TRANSMISSION COMPANY AND THEY CHECKED THE OIL AND TOLD ME THERE WAS NO WAY THAT OIL CAME OUT OF MY CAR. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE OLDEST TRICKS IN THE BOOK AND THAT THIS IS PROBABLY THE SAME CONTAINER USED ON ALL CUSTOMERS THAT COME IN AND COMPLAIN. I JUST SPOKE WITH DELAND NISSAN TO SEE IF THEY WERE GOING TO PAY FOR THIS CONSIDERING HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE AND THEY STATED NO. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN EVER AND WILL BE LOOKING TO SEE IF THERE IS ANYTHING ELSE THAT CAN BE DONE AGAINST THIS COMPANY. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA HAS A MAJOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEM THAT IS VERY WIDE SPREAD FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND. WHILE DRIVING VIOLENT BANGS OCCUR BETWEEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND AND 2ND TO 3RD. THIS DEFECT IS SO SEVERE IT COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE A DRIVER NOT EXPECTING IT TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE! THERE ARE LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND I'M REALLY AGGRAVATED NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE BY NISSAN OR ANY OTHER ORGANIZATION TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. AS OF NOW MY CAR IS PARKED AND I'M LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE A SECOND VEHICLE AVAILABLE TO ME FOR WORK. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE AND NISSAN NEEDS TO STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECT. ANYONE OUT THERE LOOKING TO BUY A CAR STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!! TRUST ME. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA AND READING ON THE MAXIMA.ORG FORUM GOT ME TO THIS COMPLAINT SITE. I THINK NISSAN SHOULD DO A RECALL ON ALL 6TH GEN MAXIMA OWNERS BECAUSE IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT'S THE TRANSMISSION. WHENEVER THE ENGINE IS COLD IT SHIFTS SO SMOOTHLY LIKE THERE'S NOTHING WRONG. BUT THIS GOOD FEELING DOESN'T LAST MORE THAN 7 MIN.ENGINE STARTS HEATING UP AND JERKING PROBLEMS BEGINS. P TO R IS OK. BUT P TO D AND SHIFTING UP N DOWN ON A TAKE OFF OR SLOWING DOWN(1ST TO 2ND N 3RD AND 3RD TO 2ND N 1ST)ITS JUST SO ANNOYING AND MAKES THE CAR UNCOMFORTABLE AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE. AND THIS WILL LEAD TO ULTIMATE TRANNY DISTRUCTION. SO I HAVE TO PAY AT EAST $700 TO GET THIS FIXED?WHY DOESN'T NISSAN DO A RECALL ON THIS? I KNOW THERE'S AT LEAST 200 MAXIMA OWNERS THERE(FROM ALL THE FORUMS I'VE READ)THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THEY LOVE GETTING MONEY SELLING THEIR CARS,AND THEN WHEY MAKE A MISTAKE ON BUILDING IT THEY DON'T WANNA TAKE THE BLAME. I LOVE MY MAXIMA AND DON'T WANNA GET RID OF IT.IM ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE WITH IT.AND IF THERE WOULDN'T BE A RECALL ON THIS,I GUESS I WILL PAY FROM MY POCKET,BUT NEVER BUY A NISSAN AGAIN. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I PURCHASED MY 2006 MAXIMA IN NOVEMBER 2007 AND I HAD NO PROBLEMS IN THE BEGINNING. THEN WHILE TRYING TO PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE IT STARTED HESITATING. THIS LASTED FOR A FEW MOVES, THEN I NOTICED THE CAR JERKING. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING I DID, BUT IT CONTINUED TO DO FROM TIME TO TIME. I WENT AND GOT MY TRANSMISSION FLUSHED THINKING THAT WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORST, NOT I HAVE SLOW DONE IN TRAFFIC IF A CAR IN FRONT OF ME IS TURNING AND WHEN I ACCELERATE AGAIN IT WILL DO A HEAVY JERK. I HAVE TWO OTHER FRIENDS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I TOLD THE DEALER HOW IS THIS SO THIS IS A NISSAN. HE EXPLAINED THAT THEY ALL GO BAD LIKE THAT. I TOLD HIM THAT I ALSO HAVE A 1994 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH 300,00 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS A MANUFACTURES PROBLEMS AND THE WAY THE CAR JERKS IT MAY ONE DAY CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THIS IS NO WAY HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE CAN HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS AND IT NOT BECOME A MANUFACTURE PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA AND THE TRANSMISSION IS GIVING ME A PROBLEM. I SHIFTS REALLY HARD WHEN THE ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING. THE PROBLEM OCCURS ONLY AFTER THE CAR HAS WARMED UP. WHILE TEST DRIVING THE CAR, THE PROBLEM DID NOT OCCUR; AFTER I HAD SIGNED ALL THE PAPERS AND DRIVEN THE CAR HOME DID 30 MINS. AWAY DID THE PROBLEM OCCUR. THE CAR WAS SOLD AS-IS. I AM VERY UPSET. NISSAN NEEDS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AT NOT COST TO US. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I PURCHASED MY CAR IN JUNE, 2010 AND IN JULY I NOTICED WHEN I SHIFT MY GEARS IT HAS A JERK TO IT, ALSO I NOTICED THE CLUTCH WILL GO ALL THE WAY DOWN AND WANT COME UP. CAUSING ME TO PULL OVER OUT OF TRAFFIC CUT THE CAR OFF PUT IT IN GEAR AND THEN START THE CAR UP AND TAKE OFF! I THOUGHT I WOULD LOVE NISSAN, THIS IS MY 1ST AND LAST NISSAN CAR THAT I WILL PURCHASE I HAVE 3 KIDS AND I AM ALMOST SCARED TO DRIVE THEM AROUND IN MY CAR. THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP AT LEAST 5 TIMES WITHIN THE 3 MONTHS THAT I HAVE HAD IT. IT WAS IN THE SHOP FOR 2 WEEKS THE LAST TIME, I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON BUT I DO KNOW THAT I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A NISSAN VEHICLE ANYMORE, AND I WILL ADVISE MY FRIEND'S AND FAMILY TO DO THE SAME. I HATE IT WHEN MY FAMILY TELLS ME THAT I HAVE PURCHASED A LEMON! THAT'S EMBARRASSING. I HAVE A 3 MONTH OLD CAR THAT JERKS FOR NO REASON, AND THE CLUTCH ACTS UP. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I OWN A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE CAR STARTED SHIFTING HARD WHEN GOING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR AND 2ND TO 3RD. IT ALSO HAS SIGNIFICANT JERKING WHEN DOWNSHIFTING OR TRYING TO GO TO THE NEXT GEAR. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AS THE ENGINE RPM'S REV AS WELL. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT MY TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS A LITTLE DIRTY BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY TRANSMISSION. THEY DID A TRANSMISSION FLUSH AND IT DID NOT HELP AT ALL. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK 3 WEEKS LATER BECAUSE THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THEY NOW ARE SAYING I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION WHEN JUST 3 WEEKS AGO THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I SAID YOU HOW COME YOU COULDN'T TELL ME THAT 3 WEEKS AGO. NOW MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT HAS GONE OFF AND I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSIONS ON THIS CAR. I WENT ONLINE TO CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS OF CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS UNDER CONSUMER AFFAIRS. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL? THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO END UP GETTING HURT. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR THE COMPANY TO DO A RECALL? I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS. WHEN THEY CALLED ME BACK THEY SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THEY SAID IT IS UP TO NHTSA TO ISSUE A RECALL. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT NISSAN USA CANNOT TO ANYTHING TO HELP THE CUSTOMERS. PLEASE TAKE A FEW MINUTES AND SIGN ON TO CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND SEE HOW MANY CUSTOMERS HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE TRANSMISSIONS IN THE 2006 NISSAN MAXIMAS. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM ARE HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AS I AM. THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING FAULTY WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I BOUGHT A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA SL IN JANUARY 2010, SO ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO. IT DROVE BEAUTIFULLY, IT WAS SMOOTH AND EVERYTHING. I CHANGED THE OIL, GOT A TRANSMISSION FLUSH, NEW TIRES, EVERYTHING. A FEW DAYS AFTER I GOT IT, I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I WAS DRIVING IN THE RAIN AND PREPARING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, AND AS I WAS DOING THAT IT STALLED, THEN JERKED AND HYDROPLANED AT THE INTERSECTION AND INTO THE INCOMING LANE OF TRAFFIC INTO ANOTHER CAR. I HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE SHOP TO REPAIR IT WHICH TOOK A FEW MONTHS. THEN, ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO, I NOTICED THAT THE CAR STARTED TO GET WORSE AND WOULD STALL AND THEN JERK WHEN I WOULD REVERSE THE CAR FROM PARK. SPECIFICALLY WHEN REVERSING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. AS THE WEEKS WENT BY, IT GOT EVEN WORSE. THE CAR WOULD VIOLENTLY JERK WHILE SWITCHING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR OR WHEN BRAKING SUDDENLY OR WHEN ACCELERATING SUDDENLY. SOMETIMES WHILE ACCELERATING, THE CAR WILL STALL, THE ENGINE REVS UP, AND THEN THE CAR WOULD VIOLENTLY JERK FORWARD AS IF IT WAS HIT FROM BEHIND. IN ONE INSTANCE I PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY TO MAKE SURE THAT I WASN'T HIT BY A CAR, WITH THE LATTER NOT BEING THE CASE AT ALL. IT HAPPENS EVERYTIME I DRIVE IT NOW. I TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST AND HE THOUGHT THAT IT NEEDED A NEW SENSOR, SO HE INSTALLED IT, AND TOLD ME THAT IT DIDN'T STOP THE JERKING. THEN I GOT ANOTHER TRANSMISSION FLUSH AND IT HASN'T HELPED THE SITUATION. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I OWN A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA WITH A FAULTY TRANSMISSION. AFTER REVIEWING CONSUMER AFFAIRS WEB SITE SO DOES OVER 122,000 PEOPLE SHARE THE SAME PROBLEM I HAVE WHICH IS A JERKING TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER WANTED TO CHARGE ME $98 JUST TO LOOK AT THE CAR KNOWINGLY WHAT THE PROBLEM IS ALREADY. THIS IS JUST A RIP OFF. I FOUND OUT FROM CAR REPAIR SHOP IN MY TOWN ONLY NISSAN HAS ACCESS TO WORK ON MY TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO RELEASED RIGHTS FOR ANYONE ELSE TO REPAIR THEIR CARS. THE CAR IS COMPUTERIZED SO THEREFORE, MOM & POP REPAIR SHOPS CAN'T ACCESS THEIR SYSTEM. THIS A MONOPOLY BY NISSAN. MY CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTER-SECTION BEFORE CHANGING GEARS AND I WAS ALMOST REARED ENDED BECAUSE OF THIS FAULTY TRANSMISSION. *TR

FOR AT LEAST 7 MONTH, I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING VERY ROUGH TRANSITIONS BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEARS AND ALSO WHEN DECELERATING BETWEEN 3RD AND 2ND GEARS. THIS OCCURS DAILY AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN 5 MINUTES OR SO. ADDITIONALLY, AT TIMES (DAILY BUT NOT EVERYTIME I START THE CAR) WHEN I SHIFT INTO GEAR, WHETHER IT IS DRIVE OR REVERSE, THE TRANSMISSION TAKES AS MUCH AS 20 SECONDS TO ENGAGE. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED ONE MOTOR MOUNT AND THE TRANSMISSION MOUNT BUT STILL THE ENGINE JUMPS WHEN ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING. EVER SO CONVENIENTLY FOR NISSAN, ALL THIS STARTED AFTER MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. WITH AS MANY COMPLAINTS AS I SEE FOR THIS EXACT COMPLAINT, IT SEEMS THAT NISSAN WOULD CALL A RECALL BEFORE THERE IS A TRAGIC ACCIDENT. I DO NOT WANT THIS DEFECT TO RUIN THE ENGINE SO WHY CAN'T NISSAN TAKE CARE OF THIS?? THE VERY REASON I BOUGHT THIS CAR IS BECAUSE OF THE NORMAL RELIABILITY AND I MUST SAY THAT I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER IF NISSAN DOESN'T TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
NISSAN MAXIMA TRANSMISSION VIOLENTLY SHIFTS FROM ONE GEAR RANGE TO ANOTHER AND IS INCREASINGLY GETTING WORST. THE EXPERIENCE IS LIKE THAT OF ANOTHER VEHICLE HITTING MY VEHICLE IN THE REAR. IT'S AS IF IT MIGHT TEAR OUT FROM THE VEHICLE AT ANY TIME. THUS FAR I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL WHICH IS HARD TO DO BECAUSE THIS BURST OF TURBULENCE IS EXTREMELY DISCONCERTING SO MUCH SO THAT I AM AFRAID OF DRIVING IT. SOME WEEKS PAST I TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT HE WOULDN'T TOUCH IT BECAUSE NISSAN KNOWS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. HE TALKED ABOUT CAM SENSOR AND BODY VALVE ?????. THE INTERNET HAS PAGE AFTER PAGE OF OTHERS WITH SIMILAR CONDITIONS AND HAVE GONE TO THE DEALERS AND PAID FOR REPAIRS ONLY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM RETURN. IT CAN CERTAINLY CAUSE ACCIDENTS AND LOSS OF LIFE, CAUSING TRAUMA TIME AND TIME AGAIN AS IT HAPPENS. THIS IS EVERY TIME THAT THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN NOT ONLY THE DATE THAT IS GIVEN FOLLOWING THE DESCRIPTION THE DATE IS THE DATE THAT I AM FILING THE COMPLAINT. JERKING SHIFTING GEARS JERKING ACCELERATING AND SLOWING / BREAKING JERKING SLOWING TO TURN JERKING WHEN REVERSING JERKING GOING FORWARD JERKING WHEN SLOWING DOWN WHEN IT JERKS IT ACTUALLY LURCHES THIS IS EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. *TR
