POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
A YEAR AFTER THE PURCHASE OF MY 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA I HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND JERKS. I HAVE CHANGED THE FLUIDS ON A TIMELY MANNER AND THE CAR IS STILL GIVING ME PROBLEMS. I BELIEVE NISSAN SHOULD MAKE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE CONSIDERING THERE ARE OTHERS OUT THERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION - SLIPPING WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR; IT HESITATES TO CATCH AND WHEN IT DOES IS JERKS VIOLENTLY INTO GEAR. THE TRANSMISSION IS NOW DEAD AND NO LONGER WORKS AT ALL. IT IS AT THE DEALER WHILE I AWAIT A RESPONSE FROM NISSAN FOR A GOODWILL FIX. MY RESEARCH YIELDED A MULTITUDE A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA OWNERS HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACED THEIR TRANSMISSION. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. IT IS HAZARDOUS TO PUBLIC AS WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC THAT'S ALREADY AT 55 MPH OR MORE, IT HESITATES AND STALL AND CAN INDEED CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR UPDATED

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
I OWN A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA WITH APPROXIMATELY 63,000MILES. I HAVE BEEN HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, MAINLY JERKING GOING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR AND VICE VERSA WHEN DOWNSHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD. I HAVE GOTTEN IT INSPECTED AND TRANSMISSION FLUSH WAS DONE, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSIST. BEING THAT MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, NISSAN IS ASKING FOR $6000 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA, 130,000 MILES. TRANSMISSION JERKS WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND OR DOWNSHIFTING. ALSO SEEMS TO DISENGAGE WHEN DECELERATING INTO A TURN AND THEN SLAMS INTO GEAR WHEN ACCELERATING. SOMETIMES THE TRANNY WILL GO INTO A 3RD GEAR LOCK AND THE POSSIBILITY OF ENTERING AN INTERSECTION WITH UNKNOWINGLY SLOW ACCELERATION DUE TO THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS!. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE CAM SENSORS WERE BAD. $500 PLUS DOLLARS LATER IT IS STILL DOING THE SAME THING. I TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID IT NEEDS NEW TRANNY. I WAITED A FEW WEEKS AND TOOK IT IN AGAIN AND NOW THEY SAY IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY. I DID TT THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALER AND HE SAID HE REPLACES THE VALVE BODY ALL THE TIME.WWW.CARSURVEY.ORG HAS THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS EXACTLY LIKE MINE. DEALERSHIPS ARE DANCING AROUND KNOW ISSUES AND EXPECTING EVERY CAR OWNER TO PUT A NEW TRANSMISSION IN THEIR CAR. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY OPENED A CLAIM, BUT THEIR SOLUTION WAS THAT MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO. I BELIEVE THAT NISSAN NEEDS TO ACCEPT SOME RESPONSIBILITY FOR A FAULTY DESIGNED TRANSMISSION. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE TRANSMISSION WAS DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALERSHIP AS HAVING INTERNAL FAILURE AND UPON THEM TELLING ME THAT THEY ALSO STATED THAT THE 2004 MAXIMA HAS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND BECAUSE OF THAT THEY REDESIGNED THE TRANSMISSION IN THE 2005 MODEL. MY CAR HAS 61,000 ON IT AND THIS HAPPENED AND NISSAN BASICALLY SAID TOUGH!!! THEY ARE AWARE OF AN ISSUE YET HAVE DONE NOTHING TO HELP. AS I FOUND THIS OUT I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND THEY ARE ALOT OF ISSUES WITH PEOPLE AND THE TRANSMISSION AND I THINK ENOUGH FOR AN INVESTIGATION BUT NOBODY HAS DONE ANYTHING. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT HEARD A CONSTANT KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE BRAKES WERE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THEY TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND DIAGNOSED IT AS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE DEALER CLAIMED TO HAVE REPAIRED THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THE NOISE RECURRED AND THE CONTACT ALSO BEGAN EXPERIENCING STEERING FAILURE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE RECENT FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE LOWER ARM SUSPENSION. SHE FOUND A RECALL REGARDING THE SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER ARM, BUT NISSAN STATED THAT HER VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE CONTACT BELIEVES THAT HER VIN SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE RECALL NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:WHEEL SPEED SENSOR/TONE RING
DEFECTIVE ABS SENSOR ($482.71) APPARENTLY A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA AS THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN ALERTING THE DEALERS OF THE SAME. I TRIED TO GET NISSAN TO AT LEAST COVER THE COST OF THE PART ($202.99) AND WAS FINALLY CONTACTED BY THE "REGIONAL REP" AFTER OVER A WEEK OF E-MAILS AND PHONE CALLS. I WAS TOLD I WAS BASICALLY "SOL". SEEMS TO ME THAT A BRAKE ISSUE INVOLVING DEFECTIVE PARTS IS VERY SERIOUS ONE. AND AT LEAST THE CONSUMER SHOULD BE ALERTED TO IT, EVEN IF IT IS NOT AT THE RECALL STAGE YET!!!! NO LONGER HAPPY WITH THE FOLKS AT NISSAN. *TR
