TRANSMISSION JERKING. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED WITH 64,000 ON IT. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER ABOUT ONE MONTH. TOOK IT IN TO DEALER AND THEY FIX THAT PROBLEM. NINE MONTHS LATER THE CAR STARTS JERKING AT DIFFERENT TIMES WHEN I AM DRIVING NOW IT HAS STARTED DOING IT EVERY TIME I BRAKE. EVERYONE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR CAR.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THERE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS ON THE 2004 MAXIMA'S. ON A WEBSITE HTTP://WWW.CARSURVEY.ORG/VIEWMORECOMMENTS_REVIEW_61092_1.HTML, MANY PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME THING. WHEN I ACCELERATE AND GO BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD GEAR THE CAR STALLS AND SLAMS MAKING A LOUD NOISE IT DOES IT WHEN DECELERATING ALSO. I THINK THESE TRANSMISSIONS SHOULD BE RECALLED. I WILL TAKE IT TO THE DEALER ON TUESDAY. *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
2004 NISSAN MAXIMA, 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION 4-DOOR SEDAN. AT 73,000 MILES, A GRINDING NOISE BEGAN WHEN SHIFTING INTO SECOND GEAR. ALSO, SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO 'SEIZE' WHERE YOU COULD NOT SHIFT AT ALL; THIS ALL CULMINATED WHILE ON A TRIP TO THE BICYCLE SHOP WITH MY 3 KIDS, GETTING STRANDED (LUCKILY MADE IT TO A PARKING LOT) WHERE THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT EVEN COME OUT OF GEAR. TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP, AND AFTER $1300 IN REPAIRS (NEW CLUTCH) THE 'SEIZING' PROBLEM IS BACK 2 MONTHS LATER, AND THE GRINDING WAS NEVER FIXED; THEY TOLD ME THAT WOULD BE AN EXTRA $1300... LOOKS LIKE MANY SENTRAS ARE HAVING SIMILAR SYNCHRONIZER ISSUES AS MY MAXIMA - AS WELL AS OTHER MAXIMAS. WHY CAN'T WE HOLD NISSAN ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR PRODUCT DEFICIENCIES? PLEASE HELP - THANKS!! *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS
IN 2005 I PURCHASED A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA. AT AROUND 60K MILES THE TRANSMISSION STARTED ACTING UP. EVERYTIME I REVERSE AND PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE THERE IS A DELAY AND THE CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN JERKS INTO DRIVE. THE CAR ALSO JERKS/SLIPS INTO GEARS AS YOU ACCELERATE AND WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKES. NOTHING HAS WORKED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE ALL OVER THE INTERNET. PLEASE HELP, THIS IS NO WAY THAT THIS IS SIMPLY COINCIDENCE THAT EVERY MAXIMA IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

TIRES
CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN ON ATLANTIC CITY EXPRESSWAY IN NEW JERSEY WHEN A RECALLED GOODYEAR TIRE BLEW OUT. KEPT CONTROL OF THE CAR. WENT TO GET A NEW TIRE A FOUND THAT ALL FOUR TIRES THAT WERE RECALLED WERE READY TO BLOW OUT. BOUGHT FOUR NEW TIRES. THE RECALL DEADLINE FOR THESE TIRES WAS DECEMBER 2007-WHICH WE MISSED. HOW DO YOU PUT A DEADLINE ON A RECALL. IF THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY BAD AND WE WOULD BE PURSUING A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE TIRE MANUFACTURER. *TR
