ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
CAR HAS A CONSISTENT SULFUR/ROTTEN EGGS SMELL FOR AS LONG AS I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. PROBLEM OCCURS AT LEAST 8 OUT OF 10 TIMES DRIVING THE VEHICLE. SMELL IS DISGUSTING AND I AM WONDERING IF THIS IS CAUSING ME AND MY PASSENGERS HEALTH PROBLEMS. DEALER AND NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS REFUSE TO RECOGNIZE NOR FIX THE PROBLEM AFTER 2 PROLONGED VISITS AND WEEKS OF PHONE CALLS AFTER FILING COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN. *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
A FEW MONTHS AGO MY TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP IN 1ST AN 2ND GEAR.WHEN I WOULD RUN ERRANDS FOR MORE THAN HOUR IT WOULD REALLY START TO ACT UP. NOW I CAN NOT DRIVE FOR 30 MINUTES WITHOUT IT SERIOUSLY SLIPPING GEARS HARD. I CAN ONLY DRIVE THE CAR A FEW MILES BECAUSE OF THIS. I TOOK THE CAR TO A SHOP AN WAS TOLD THAT THE VALVE BODY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WITH A REBUILT TRANSMISSION MECHANIC ALSO STATED THAT THE VALVE BODY SHOULD NOT BE A WEARABLE COMPONENT AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON IT. NOW THE CAR SITS MOST OF THE TIME BECAUSE I CAN NOT AFFORD TO FIX IT. PLEASE HELP ME. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA CURRENTLY HAS 84,000 MILES (AND IS OUT OF WARRANTY). I PURCHASED IT IN 2006 WITH 24,000 MI. IT BEGAN BUCKING OR JERKING VERY HARD WHEN CHANGING GEARS (WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN PUTTING INTO DRIVE) OVER 3 MONTHS AGO. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS EVERYDAY I DRIVE THE VEHICLE, SOMETIMES MORE THAT OTHERS. IT WOULD BUCK AND JERK SO HARD THAT I DID NOT FEEL LIKE I WAS IN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. RECENTLY THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SO I TOOK IT TO BE LOOKED AT. AFTER REPLACING THE FRONT MOTOR MOUNT ($700) AND DRIVING IT OFF THE LOT, 20 MINUTES LATER THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND THE CAR WAS STILL BUCKING AND JERKING. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER ONLY FOR THEM TO TELL ME 2 MOTOR MOUNTS NEED TO BE REPLACED AS DOES THE TRANSMISSION FOR A TOTAL OF ALMOST $5,000. NO WORK HAS BEEN DONE ON THE CAR BECAUSE I'VE REPORTED THIS TO THE CORPORATE OFFICES OF NISSAN AND THEY HAVE BEGUN AN INVESTIGATION. THERE HAVE BEEN NO CRASHES OR INJURIES DUE TO THIS PROBLEM...YET. HOWEVER, THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ONLINE IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT NUMEROUS 2004-2005 NISSAN MAXIMA OWNERS ARE ALL HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUES WITH THEIR VEHICLES. THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE AND AFTER READING HOW MANY OTHERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE I DO NOT BELIEVE I OR ANYONE ELSE SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING FOR THIS REPAIR/REPLACEMENT OF PARTS. I BELIEVE IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. *TR

SEATS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON JUNE 23, 2009 MY 2005 MAXIMA WAS PARKED IN AN ENCLOSED GARAGE WITHIN MY HOME. ON THAT SAME DATE I ATTEMPTED TO ENTER MY VEHICLE AND WAS GREETED WITH AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF SMOKE UPON OPENING THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. NO FIRE WAS OCCURRING, SO I OPENED ALL CAR DOORS AND GARAGE DOORS TO CLEAR THE SMOKE. WHEN THE SMOKE CLEARED I DISCOVERED MY CAR HAD, AT SOME POINT IN THE PRIOR 8 HOURS, HAD AN INTERIOR FIRE AND HAD LUCKILY SELF-EXTINGUISHED. THE FIRE SEEMED TO ORIGINATE NEAR THE FUSE BOX, LOCATED TO THE LEFT OF THE STEERING COLUMN, ON THE UNDER SIDE OF THE DASH. THE FIRE MELTED THE FUSE BOX AND SURROUNDING DASH AREA, SPREADING AROUND THE UNDERSIDE OF THE STEERING COLUMN TO JUST ABOVE THE IGNITION ON THE DASH. NO POLICE OR FIRE EMERGENCY SERVICES WERE CALLED AS THE FIRE WAS OUT. MY INSURANCE WAS IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED AND A TOW ORDERED TO TAKE THE MAXIMA TO THE NEAREST NISSAN DEALERSHIP. I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS TO ADVISE THEM OF THIS FIRE. AFTER A FEW WEEKS THEY COMMUNICATED THAT NISSAN WOULD NOT INVESTIGATE THE FIRE. MY INSURANCE COVERED THE COST OF THE REPAIRS AND THE REPAIRS TOOK PLACE. UPON COMPLETION OF THE REPAIRS THE DEALERSHIP DISCOVERED WHEN THEY TESTED THE LUMBAR SWITCH, THAT IT WAS OVERHEATING THE FUSE PANEL AND THAT IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. MY INSURANCE WAS CONTACTED TO COME OUT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO ASSESS THE NEW DISCOVERY. THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER, SERVICE MANAGER, AND SERVICE TECHNICIAN MET AND AGREED THAT THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE WAS A PINCHED LUMBAR SWITCH AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I PAID THE COST OF THE SWITCH AS INSURANCE ONLY COVERS DAMAGES. THE LUMBAR SWITCH WAS RECALLED IN 2006. MY LUMBAR SWITCH WAS REPAIRED IN APRIL OF 2006. THE RECALL STATES THE LUMBAR SWITCH WIRING COULD BECOME PINCHED AND CAUSE A FIRE. I ASKED BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS TO REFUND AND INVESTIGATE MY FIRE AND IT'S ASSOCIATION TO THE RECALL. AT THIS TIME NEITHER IS COOPERATIVE AND REFUSES TO ASSIST OR INVESTIGATE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I GOT A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA LAST YEAR WITH ABOUT 80,000 MILES ON IT, WHEN THE CAR REACHED ABOUT 90,000 THE TRANSMISSION STARTED JERKING WHEN CHANGING GEARS. THE CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 20MPH. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. THIS FAULTY TRANSMISSION COULD HARM MYSELF OR OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROADS. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOPS, INCLUDING NISSAN. THEY ALL CANNOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, BUT RECOMMENDED THE POWER FLUSH, WHICH I DID. THE POWER FLUSH DID NOTHING FOR MY CAR. THE ONLY IT DID WAS SET ME BACK $250.00. THERE ARE MANY NISSAN OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WE ARE VERY DISSATISFIED AND WANT SOMETHING TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA SE. SHE REPLACED THE STRUTS, AXLES AND MOTOR MOUNTS ON THE VEHICLE. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT SHE SHOULD ALSO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION CHECKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DIFFERENT MECHANIC WHERE A FLUSH WAS PERFORMED. AFTERWARD, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE AND IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE NORMALLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED; HOWEVER, THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE LIABLE FOR THE REPAIRS. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE UNDER 48,000.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW NISSAN MAXIMA IN NOV. MY SISTER BORROWED THE CAR FOR THE WEEKEND AND THE BRAKES FAILED CAUSING HER TO HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HER. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO A BODY SHOP, THE MECHANIC ON DUTY GOT THE CAR RUNNING, WHILE REMOVING THE CAR FROM THE TOW TRUCK HE DROVE THE CAR ABOUT TEN FEET AND THE FIRST THING HE SAID WAS THE BRAKES FEEL FLUFFY. THE CAR WAS REPAIRED AND CLEARED BY THE BODY SHOP, IT WAS THERE ROUGH 5 WEEKS, I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER WHO THEN INSPECTED THE CAR AND BRAKES, THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG AND DOCUMENTED THE INCIDENT. ON JULY 25 I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE PARK WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE BACK SEAT WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED AGAIN, I WAS LUCKY NOBODY WAS IN FRONT OF ME. I GOT THE CAR STOPPED AND THANKFULLY I WAS LESS THEN A MILE AWAY FROM HOME. ON MONDAY I CALLED THE DEALER AND TOLD THEM IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND SAID THEY CAN COME PICK IT UP, I WONT DRIVE IT AND NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN IT. THEY HAD IT TOWED OUT THAT SAME DAY, THEY HAVE HAD THE CAR EVER SINCE. THE CAR WAS INSPECTED AGAIN ON AUGUST 21 2009, AND CLEARED AGAIN. I WAS TOLD MONDAY THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. TO MY KNOWLEDGE NOTHING HAS EVER BEEN REPLACED OR REPAIRED ON THE BRAKING SYSTEM. *TR

1. MY PROBLEMS OCCUR WITH MY 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA WHEN I STARTED TO NOTICE THAT FROM A TAKE OFF AFTER A TOLL THAT THE CAR WOULD JERK INTO SECOND GEAR. IT HAS SINCE PROGRESSED INTO A JERKING AND SLAMMING INTO 2ND AND 3RD GEAR ON ACCELERATION AND 3RD TO 2ND AND 2ND TO 1ST IN DECELERATION. IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY THAT I USE MY CAR. I HAVE HAD MY TRANSMISSION FLUID FLUSHED AND SEVERAL ENGINE SENSORS REPLACED BY A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THE PROBLEM HAS NEVER GONE AWAY AND JUST GETS WORSE WITH TIME. *TR

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

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA WITH 96,000 MILES AND THE UNDERCARRIAGE FLOOR BOARD IS ROTTING AWAY. I TAKE EXCELLENT CARE OF ALL OF MY CARS AND THE CAR LOOKS BRAND NEW, NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND SERVICED THROUGH THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER FOR ALL WORK ON IT. I HAVE HAD SIX NISSAN MAXIMAS (1987, 1990, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2009) AND I'VE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE LIKE THIS. I LIVE IN THE NORTHEAST BUT I ALWAYS HAVE. I THINK SOMETHING WAS UP WITH THE QUALITY AND MATERIALS FOR THE 2004 MODEL. *TR

ON MY WAY TO WORK, MY 04 NISSAN MAXIMA SE SUDDENLY JERKED AND STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I NARROWLY ESCAPED ANY INJURY DUE TO NOT ONLY MY QUICK ACTIONS BUT THE ALERTNESS AND QUICK RESPONSE OF THE DRIVER BEHIND ME. MY SEARCH TO FIND OUT IF ANY ONE HAD EXPERIENCE SIMILAR PROBLEMS, RESULTED IN A PLETHORA OF SIMILAR CASES. THIS OF COURSE MADE ME FURIOUS TO KNOW THAT NISSAN HAVE A HISTORY OF FAILED TRANSMISSIONS IN THIS MODEL VEHICLE AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. I AM STEADFAST WHEN IT COMES TO REGULAR MAINTENANCE OF MY VEHICLE AND DEAR NOT PLACE THE BLAME ON THE DEALERSHIP OR THE MECHANICS. MY SITUATION COULD HAVE EASILY RESULTED IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. I HOPE SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT THIS BECAUSE IT CAN INDEED SAVE A LIFE OR LIVES. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THIS A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION OF THE 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA. MY MAXIMA ONLY HAS 60,000 MILES ON IT, HOWEVER IT HAS BEGAN TO JERK WHILE CHANGING GEARS, AND TO SLIP OUT OF GEAR WHILE IT IS ON THE ROAD. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, PARTICULARLY THE SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR. I HAVE NOT YET GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT OR HAD MY CAR STOP ON THE ROAD. HOWEVER, I FEEL THAT IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. APPARENTLY THIS IS A VERY WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THE WITH THE 2004 AND 2005 NISSAN MAXIMAS. THE PROBLEM FIRST BEGAN TO HAPPEN ABOUT EVERY 3 DAYS, BUT NOW IT HAPPENS ABOUT EVERY OTHER DAY. ESPECIALLY WHEN THE CAR IS GOING FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR. I HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CHECKED, AND WAS TOLD THAT MY FLUID LEVEL WAS PERFECTLY FINE. THE SHOP RECOMMENDED THAT I TAKE MY CAR TO A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST, WHICH I HAVE NOT YET DONE. THEY ALSO MENTIONED TO ME THAT THE TRANSMISSIONS ON THE 2004 AND 2005 MAXIMAS ARE KNOWN TO BE DEFECTIVE, AND USUALLY GO BAD AT ABOUT 60,000 OR 70,000 MILES. I BELIEVE THAT THE TRANSMISSIONS ON THE 2004 AND 2005 NISSAN MAXIMAS ARE DEFECTIVE AND NEED TO BE RECALLED. *TR
