WHEELS
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE CONTACT FELT AN ABNORMAL VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. IN ADDITION, WHEN DRIVING OVER UNEVEN ROAD SURFACES, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE EXCESSIVELY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A TIRE ROTATION AND BALANCING. THE TECHNICIANS STATED THAT THE SERVICE COULD NOT BE PERFORMED BECAUSE ALL FOUR WHEELS WERE ABNORMALLY BENT. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO PURCHASE FOUR NEW WHEELS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I PURCHASED A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA IN NOVEMBER 2005 BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALER W/ 3 YEAR WARRANTY / 5 YEAR POWERTRAIN. I'VE DONE ALL SERVICES, MAINTENANCE, ETC. MY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY (ENGINE/TRANS) JUST EXPIRED 2 MONTHS AGO. MY CAR IS DOING 54,508 MILES. ONCE IT HIT THE 54,500 MARK THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO FAIL. IT WOULD JERK EXTREMELY BAD W/ A 5 SECOND DELAY FROM N - D, N - R, R - D, & D - R (ALL OF THOSE COMBINATIONS). WHILE DRIVING IT DOWNSHIFTS HARD IN SLOWS THE CAR (COULD BE FATAL). IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE CAR W/ THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE. I'M CHECKED WITH THE DEALER AND THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY RELUCTANT TO FIX THE ISSUE SINCE I'M OUT OF WARRANTY. I CHECKED ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY RECALLS / SIMILAR ISSUES. I'VE SEEN COUNTLESS OF PEOPLE STATE THE SAME ISSUE WHEN APPROACHING 60K ON THE CAR. NISSAN NEEDS TO SEE THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. I ALMOST HAD THE TRANSMISSION JAM/STICK WHILE AT AN INTERSECTION. I COULD OF SERIOUSLY BEEN INJURED WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN ON A GREEN LIGHT W/ ONCOMING TRAFFIC, HAVING MY FAULTY TRANSMISSION WAIT A 5 SECONDS AND JOLT LIKE A CAR JUST HIT ME. I'M NOT SURE WHO CAN HELP BUT THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND I FEEL THIS IS SOLELY THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

2006 NISSAN MAXIMA STARTED JERKING AND SLIPPING WHILE DRIVING. IT OCCURS QUITE OFTEN DAILY BUT THEN SOME DAYS NOT AT ALL. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. IT STARTED AROUND 80,000 MILES. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT CHANGING THE FLUID WOULD JUST DAMAGE IT WORSE I JUST NEED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHILE DRIVING AT INTERSTATE HIGHWAY SPEED, VDC, SLIP, ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON AND STAYED ON. CAR WAS ABLE TO STILL BE DRIVEN WITH NO ISSUE. UPON TAKING CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, WE WERE INFORMED THE ACTUATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WE DECLINED THE $2000+ REPAIR AS THE CAR WAS STILL DRIVABLE. UPON SEARCHING GOOGLE FOR THIS ISSUE THERE WERE MULTIPLE INCIDENTS OF THIS HAPPENING FOR OTHER CONSUMERS AND EVEN A NISSAN REPAIR BULLETIN NOTING A DESIGN FLAW IN HOW THE WHEEL HUB CAN NOT DRAIN CAUSING THE ABS SENSOR AND ACTUATOR PROBLEMS.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
PURCHASED A 06 MAXIMA IN AUG 2009, IN OCTOBER OF 2010 THE CAR STARTED JERKING WHEN DRIVING IT. AT FIRST IT WOULD HAVE HAPPEN EVERY NOW AND THEN AND THEN IT WOULD JERK AND MIST EVERY OTHER DAY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A NISSAN DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS BAD AND THAT IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, HAD CAR FIXED AND AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR 3 DAYS IT STARTED JERKING, THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPT WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT NONE OF THE SENSORS DISPLAYED A PROBLEM AND ADVISED ME TO CHANGE THE GRADE OF GAS FROM PREMIUM TO MID-GRADE. I DID WHAT THEY RECOMMENDED AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO JERK AND MIST. THE JERKING WOULD CAUSE THE CAR TO SLOW DOWN THE RPM WOULD QUICKLY FLIP TO 4 OR 5 ALL THIS WOULD HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AT A SPEED OF 20-30 MPH. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH NISSAN BECAUSE I BELIEVED THAT NISSAN CARS WERE VERY GOOD AND RELIABLE VEHICLES. *TR

NISSAN 2006 MAXIMA SE, TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. CAR VIOLENTLY JERKS BETWEEN 2 AND 3RD GEAR, REVS UP TO 5 RPMS. NISSAN REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION AFTER THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS. OCCURRENCE IS DAILY, THE RECOMMEND 5K REPAIR BILL. *TR

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE ABS SYSTEM, SPECIFICALLY THE ACTUATOR, IN THE 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA FAILED. INITIALLY, THE ABS SYSTEM WOULD ACTIVATE EVERY TIME THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. IT FIRST OCCURRED ON DRY PAVEMENT AT HIGHWAY SPEED (55MPH) BRAKING AND THEN ALL SUBSEQUENT BRAKING THEREAFTER, REGARDLESS OF SPEED OR ROAD CONDITION. NOW THE CAR IS IN FAIL-SAFE MODEL WHERE THE ABS SYSTEM, TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM, AND ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION ARE INACTIVE ON THE VEHICLE. NISSAN DEALERS ESTIMATE THE FIX TO BE APPROXIMATELY $3000, WITH THE MAJORITY OF THE REPAIR IN REPLACING THE ABS ACTUATOR. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN FLOODED AND HAS ONLY BEEN IN VERY MINOR FENDER-BENDERS (REPAINTING OF EXTERIOR PARTS). FROM MY PROSPECTIVE, IT SEEMS VERY UNUSUAL FOR THE ACTUATOR TO GO BAD AND APPEARS TO BE A DEFECTIVE UNIT. *LN

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I PURCHASED MY 06 MAXIMA WHEN IT HAD 52,000 MILES. AFTER A FEW WEEKS I NOTICED THE SHIFTING IS NOT PROPER AND SUDDEN JERKING WHEN SHIFTING IN R OR D. EVENTUALLY THE JERKING GOT WORST AND CURRENTLY AT NEARLY 72,000 MILES IT HAS GOTTEN VERY SCARY. AT TIMES I FEEL LIKE SOMEONE HAS REAR ENDED THE CAR. LAST WEEK, WHILE MAKING AN EXIT FROM A HIGHWAY THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND GOT OUT OF CONTROL. I NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD SLIPPED WHILE I WAS GOING AT AROUND 50 MPH. SINCE THEN I NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING CONSTANTLY. I HAVE BEEN CONTACTING DEALERS AND THEY CLAIM THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM THEY KNOW ABOUT REGARDING THIS MODEL YEAR. BUT AS IT SEEMS, THERE ARE HUNDREDS OR PERHAPS THOUSANDS OF POSTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET FROM PEOPLE WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM IN THE SAME EXACT MODEL MAXIMA. I WILL NOT ALLOW MY WIFE TO DRIVE THE CAR ANYMORE SINCE I NOTICED LAST WEEK THAT THE SLIP COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS AT HIGH SPEEDS. I SURE HOPE A FATAL ACCIDENT WOULD NOT BE THE CAUSE TO WAKE UP NISSAN TO HELP RESOLVE THE ISSUE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
JUST DRIVING ALONG, MY BOYFRIEND AS THE DRIVER, AND I AS THE PASSENGER, AND AS HE APPLIED THE BRAKES, THERE WAS A LOUD CLANGING/RAPPING SOUND OUT OF THE BLUE, WHEREAS IT SCARED ME SO, THAT I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO HAVE A HEART ATTACK. IT WOULD THEN HAPPEN AGAIN AND AGAIN. THEN I STARTED TO NOTICE A LOW HUM (ABS CONTROLLER), JUST PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING. SO I RESEARCHED THIS ON THE INTERNET, AND SUSPECTED THE ABS. I THEN ENTERED 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA ABS, AND BAM...ALL OVER THE NET WERE TESTIMONIES OF ABS FAILURE (WHERE DEBRIS GETS TRAPPED IN THE REAR HUBS, WITH NO ESCAPE). LIVING IN PA, WITH HARSH WINTER ROAD CONDITIONS, AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN ...THIS SCARES ME! NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS SERIOUS AND EXPENSIVE DEFECT, AND A TSB WAS SENT TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENTS. A NISSAN CERTIFIED TECH SAID TO STOP DRIVING THE VEHICLE, SO I DID UNTIL I GOT IT TO MY MECHANIC. I DOWNLOADED THE TSB FOR MY MECHANIC TO FOLLOW. HE CLEANED OUT THE REAR HUBS, BUT DID NOT DRILL ANY HOLES, NOR MESS WITH ANY SENSORS. I HAVE HAD MY CAR BACK FOR 2 DAYS NOW, AND 'THE PROBLEM' HAPPENED TWICE. I PURCHASED THIS (EXPENSIVE) LUXURY VEHICLE, AND AS OF TODAY, I HAVE ONE PAYMENT LEFT. THIS MAKES ME SICK! THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THIS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT, AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS SERIOUS MATTER. I DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO TURN NEXT.

MY 06 NISSAN MAXIMA HAS 91 THOUSAND MILES ON IT'S TRANSMISSION BUT FOR THE LAST 10 THOUSAND MILES IT HAS I CAN FEEL THE CHANGE OF GEARS WHEN I ACCELERATE THE CAR. I THOUGHT THIS WAS NORMAL, BUT READING A LOT OF FORUMS I WAS WRONG. I EVEN CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION OIL AT 50 THOUSAND MILES TO MAKE SURE IT LAST LONGER. BUT THAT'S NOT THE CASE. I FEEL RIPPED OFF AND SCREWED. ALSO WHEN I PARK IT MOVES 4 INCHES IN EITHER DIRECTION AND ITS GETTING WORSE. I DO OIL CHANGES REGULARLY AND HAVE RECEIPTS TO PROOF IT. THANK YOU *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
THE ABS SYSTEM ENGAGES DURING NORMAL DRIVING CAUSING DIFFICULTY IN STOPPING UNDER HIGH OR SLOW SPEEDS. THE FAILURE CAUSES A GRINDING SOUNDS AND TRIGGERS THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM TO MALFUNCTION. ONCE THE FAILURE BEGINS IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO FIX WITHOUT TECHNICAL SERVICE. IT OCCURS IRREGARDLESS OF SPEED AND/OR CONDITIONS. I HAVE HAD THIS OCCUR 5 TIMES OVER THE LAST 11 MONTHS. IT IS A HIGHLY COSTLY , TIME CONSUMING AND INCONVENIENT PROBLEM. THE ABS SENSORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE ABS CONTROL UNIT AND ACTUATOR HAVE BEEN REPLACED TOO. THIS DOES NOT SOLVE THIS RECURRING PROBLEM AND DUE TO THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS IS AN OBVIOUS DESIGN DEFECT WHICH HAS NOT BEEN SOLVED. *TR

POWER TRAIN, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
I PURCHASED A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA IN 2009 THE VEHICLE WITH APPROX. 67,000 AS FINE FOR THE FIRST 2 MONTHS. HERE IS WHERE MY PROBLEMS STARTED TO OCCUR, WHEN TURNING TOWARDS THE HIGHWAY I ACCELERATED TO SPEED THE CAR HESITATED AND WAS PUTTING THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. ONCE I RETURNED FROM OUT OF STATE I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP EMPIRE NISSAN IN LAKEWOOD, COLORADO AND LET THEM KNOW WHAT THE SITUATION WAS, THE SALESMEN STATED TO DISCONNECT THE WIRE TO THE BATTERY TO RESET THE LIGHT, I DID THAT AND IT WENT RIGHT BACK ON AFTER A COUPLE OF STARTS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHERE HE SAID IT WAS THE OXYGEN SENSOR? IT WAS REPLACED, THEN THE VEHICLE WAS FINE FOR AWHILE UNTIL THE ODOMETER READ APPROX. 75,000 I NOTICED THAT IF I WAS GOING DOWN A HILL AT A FAST PACE THEN PUSHED THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN THE RPM'S REVVED UP TO 5 AND THE ENGINE WOULD MAKE A LOUD NOISE TO ACCOMPANY THE RPM'S AT 5. VEHICLE HAS BEEN WORSE EVER SINCE I NOTICED THAT, IT THEN STARTED TO SLIP IN GEAR, GOING FROM R TO D OR D TO R ONCE SHIFTER IS IN PLACE IT WOULD PAUSE THEN JERK INTO GEAR. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AAMCO THEY STATED THAT IT WAS THE MOTOR MOUNTS AND ALSO THE FLUIDS TO THE TRANSMISSION. $700 LATER THE VEHICLE IS WORSE! NOW THE CAR WHILE IN MOTION WILL KICK AND JERK HARD IN GEAR WHILE THE RPM'S GO ALL THE WAY UP TO 5. WHEN CAR COMES TO A STOP WITH FOOT ON THE BREAK CAR WILL JUMP FORWARD. MY LATEST INCIDENT IS WHEN AT A STOP AND MOVE TO ACCELERATE THE CAR STARTS OFF AS IF IT WAS IN 5TH GEAR! GOT THE CAR HOME AND PUT THE SHIFTER IN MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND IT READS THE ENGINE IS IN 5TH GEAR. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER OF 4 YOUNG CHILDREN, THE CAR IS SO UNPREDICTABLE, WHETHER IT IS GOING TO JERK INTO GEAR OR COMPLETELY STALL OUT. THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING DONE WITH THE TRANSMISSION BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED DRIVING THIS SAME TYPE OF CAR, THERE ARE SEVERAL PAGES OF COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME CAR, PLEASE PLEASE DO A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION OF THE 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA!!!!!! *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA AND HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING SOME PROBLEMS WITH IT. AFTER ABOUT A 2 MONTHS OF PURCHASING IT, IT STARTING JERKING WHILE DRIVING IT. I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT SINCE IT STOPPED FOR A WHILE. THEN SOME WEEKS LATER IT DID IT AGAIN CAUSING ME TO ALMOST REAREND SOMEONE. HEAR IT IS MONTHS LATER AND I WAS HEADING HOME FROM WORK AND THE CAR JUST QUIT ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY. IT WAS COLD OUTSIDE AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. SO NOW I HAVE TO GET THIS CAR TOWED TO THE TRANSMISSION SHOP TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON WITH IT. I HAVE BEEN READING THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS OF VERY SIMILAR SITUATIONS. MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS IN EARLY MODEL NISSAN MAXIMAS. I HAVE BEEN HEARING THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE PAYING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TRYING TO REPAIR THESE CARS. I AM VERY SCARED TO HEAR WHAT THE DEALER AND OTHER SHOPS ARE GOING TO SAY. THIS CAR HAS 89,000 MILES ON IT WITH NO WARRANTY. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I BOUGHT MY 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA SE IN 2007 WITH ABOUT 8K MILES ON IT. THE REGULARLY MAINTAINED CAR NOW HAS A LITTLE UNDER 81K MILES AND IS HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. IT STARTED WITH THE CAR JERKING AND A LOUD NOISE WHEN SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE AND REVERSE TO DRIVE. NOW THE CAR IS JERKING WHEN ACCELERATING. THE CAR STALLS THEN SURGES FORWARD. I TOOK MY CAR TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC BECAUSE I CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY THE $100 FEE THE DEALERSHIP CHARGES JUST TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION IS DETERIORATING. I STARTED LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ABOUT IT AND CAME ACROSS AN ABUNDANCE OF TESTIMONIES FROM PEOPLE WITH THE EXACT EXPERIENCE AS ME ALL WITHIN THE SAME MILEAGE AND IT SEEMS NISSAN IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I GUESS SOMEONE WILL NEED TO DIE BEFORE THIS ISSUE IS TAKEN SERIOUSLY. I AM SO DONE WITH NISSAN, IS THERE ANYTHING LEGALLY THAT CAN BE DONE FOR NISSAN TO HEAR OUR VOICES FOR A RECALL TO HAPPEN. ITS TO MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINTS FOR THIS ISSUE NOT TO BE ADDRESSED. *LN
