POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA AND JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE I AM HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT JOLTS HARD WHEN GOING FROM PARK TO DRIVE OR IF I REVERSE AND GO TO DRIVE. ALSO THE CARS GEAR SLIPS BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD GEAR. I THINK IT'S RIDICULOUS THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM THIS A VEHICLE THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL AND THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN AND NO ONE IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT GETTING IT FIXED. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL!!! DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO GET KILLED FOR THE ISSUE TO BE ADDRESSED?? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE RPMS SUDDENLY INCREASED RAPIDLY WHEN THE CONTACT SHIFTED GEARS. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF; THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO RESET ITSELF WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO REFERRED HIM TO THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 115,000.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I FILED A COMPLAINT ABOUT MY 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA #10357629 -9/25/10. THE SITUATION WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND NOT MENTIONED THE TIMING CHAIN. THE TRANSMISSION SHUT DOWN ; STOPPED ; FAILED ; CEASED TO FUNCTION FRI. NOV /12 /10 @ 5;00 PM DURING RUSH HOUR IN THE CENTER OF THE BUSIEST FREEWAY IN MY AREA LEAVING ME THANKFUL TO GOD AND THE RIVERSIDE CTY. FREEWAY SERVICE PATROL WITH WHICH I FILLED OUT A SURVEY #217446 THEIR # 951 369-3691. ACCIDENTS WERE BEHIND ME SOMEWHERE THE TWO DRIVER SAID I WAS FORTUNATE TO NOT SUFFER INJURY AND DAMAGE. THE MAXIMA COST OF REPAIR TO NISSAN'S PRODUCT IS OVER $ 6,000.00. THE MAXIMA HAS ONLY 77,435 MILES. THESE ARE ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL DEFAULTS AND THERE ARE SCORES OF OWNERS REPORTING SIMILAR TO IDENTICAL EXPERIENCES ABOUT THEIR MAXIMA CARS FROM 2004 THROUGH 2007. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT NHTSA HAVEN'T RECOGNIZED THIS AS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. WHY DON'T THE PEOPLE THAT BUY THESE PRODUCTS IN GOOD FAITH GET THE BACKING OF THE NHTSA. THERE ARE RECALLS ON WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND SMALL THINGS LIKE THAT- THAT ANYBODY CAN REPLACE WITHIN TWENTY DOLLARS BUT THIS IS A SUBSTANTIAL PROBLEM, THIS IS MONEY FOR PAYING RENT FOR MONTHS, THIS IS THE COST OF SURGERY TO KEEP A WORKING PERSON AMBULATORY, THIS IS A CALL FOR HELP, A CALL TO KEEP SOME OF THE PROFITS OF FOREIGN CORPORATIONS AT HOME .THIS IS WHEN THE FORCE OF THE NHTSA'S AUTHORITY SHOULD SEEMINGLY COME TO THE FOREFRONT DEMANDING THEY STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS AS SAFE AND TRUSTWORTHY AND CERTAINLY NOT A VEHICLE DOING SIXTY MILES AN HOUR DURING RUSH HOUR COMING TO A DEAD STOP WITH VEHICLES PEALING TO ALL SIDES IN ALL DIRECTIONS DESPERATELY AVOIDING COLLISIONS AND PERSONAL INJURY AS WELL AS INJURY TO OTHERS AND DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY. HERE I WAS SITTING THERE EYES SHUT TIGHT WAITING FOR THE SLAM OF SOME VEHICLE INTO MINE THAT REFUSED TO BUDGE. I FELT LIKE I WAS IN THE MIDST OF COMMITTING SUICIDE WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO PREVENT IT. LIKE A NIGHTMARE, SOME EVIL OCCURRENCE DESCENDING. HELP!!! *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2005 MAXIMA WAS VIOLENTLY JERKING, STALLING AND HARD SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEARS AND VICE VERSA. I KEPT TELLING NISSAN THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH MY TRANSMISSION EVEN THOUGH IT'S THEIR JOB TO TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY CAR, BUT WHILE MY CAR WAS 500 MILES SHORT OF THE 60000 MILE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY EXPIRATION NISSAN KEPT TELLING ME THAT I NEEDED A POWER FLUSH, GOT THAT DONE IT DID MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE FOR A COUPLE WEEKS THEN THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. BROUGHT MY CAR BACK TO NISSAN AT 60100 MILES AND THEY GAVE ME AN ESTIMATED LIST OF REPAIRS THAT NEEDED TO BE MADE FOR APPROXIMATELY $10,000 WHICH INCLUDED $4185 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. HOW IS IT THAT WITHIN A MATTER OF WEEKS AND ONLY 600 MILES THAT IT GOES FROM A POWER FLUSH SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM TO YOU NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION, NEW STARTER, ETC. FOR A MINUTE I THOUGHT I WAS BEING PUNKED! I THEN CONTACTED 1-800-NISSAN1 WHICH WAS A WASTE OF TIME THEY SUPPOSEDLY REVIEWED MY COMPLAINT AND TOLD ME THAT UNFORTUNATELY THEY WON'T BE PAYING FOR ANY OF THE REPAIRS ESPECIALLY NOT THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE HERB GORDON NISSAN HAD NO KNOWLEDGE THAT I'VE EVER REPORTED THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, BUT LUCKILY FOR THEM I KEEP EVERYTHING THAT PERTAINS TO MY CAR, WHEN I FAXED ALL THE DIAGNOSIS REPORTS FOR THE PAST 5 MONTHS TO THE REGIONAL SPECIALIST HE TOLD ME THAT UNFORTUNATELY THE DECISION HAD BEEN MADE NOT TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AND THAT IF I WANT TO APPEAL THE DECISION I SHOULD GO THROUGH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU. WTF??? IT TELLS A LOT ABOUT THE MANUFACTURE WHEN THEY ONLY HAVE A 3 YEAR OR 36000 MILE WARRANTY WITH A 5 YEAR OR 60000 MILE POWER TRAIN. NISSAN IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST, WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM THEM. BUYERS BEWARE IF YOU WANT TO THROW AWAY MORE MONEY THEN YOUR CAR IS WORTH. NISSAN IS THE WAY TO GO!!!! ???????????*TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I BOUGHT A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA 3.5 SE ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO. WELL WHEN I BOUGHT IT I NOTICED THE NEXT DAY IT WAS JERKING TREMENDOUSLY SO I CALLED THE DEALER BACK AND TOLD HIM WHAT WAS GOING ON. WELL HE SAID TAKE IT TO HIS MECHANIC AND THEY WOULD PAY FOR IT TO BE FIXED. SO I DID AS HE SAID AND TOOK IT TO HIS MECHANIC. WELL HIS MECHANIC SAID IT WAS IT WAS THE REAR MOTOR MOUNT AND IT HAD BROKE BECAUSE OF THE SHIFTING SO HARD AND HE FIXED IT. WELL I THOUGHT THAT HAD FIXED THE PROBLEM..WELL 2 DAYS LATER IT WAS STILL DOING THE SAME OL' THING SHIFTING REAL REAL HARD BETWEEN 1-2ND GEAR AND THEN WHEN YOUR DOWNSHIFTING IT JERKS BETWEEN 1-2ND GEAR. WELL I CALLED THE MECHANIC BACK AND HE WASN'T AVAILABLE AND THE GUY SAID HE WOULD HAVE HIM CALL BACK. WELL, HE NEVER CALLED BACK. AND THEN AFTER THAT IT REALLY NEVER SHIFTED HARD. WELL GUESS WHAT..ITS BACK AND ITS DOING IT WORSE THAN EVER! SO I DID A LITTLE RESEARCHING AND COME TO FIND OUT THERE ARE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS HAPPENING TO SO MANY PEOPLE WHO OWN A 2004 UP TO A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. AND IT IS THE TRANSMISSION. SOMETIMES MY CAR TAKES FOREVER TO SHIFT AND I AM SO SCARED TO PULL OUT ON THE FREEWAY AND IT NOT GO AND THEN ILL GET HIT AND DIE. SO I KNOW IT IS IN-FACT A DEFECTED TRANSMISSION BECAUSE I OWNED A 2001 NISSAN MAXIMA GLE BEFORE I GOT THIS ONE AND IT NEVER EVER HAD PROBLEMS AT ALL. AND I AM SO SURPRISED NISSAN HASN'T RECALLED THIS BECAUSE OF THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME THING WITH THERE 05 MAXIMAS SHIFTING HARD WHEN GOING TO 1-2ND GEAR. AND THEN DOWNSHIFTING. IT IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM AND SOMEONE WILL GET HURT OR KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS. I HAVE PRINTED OFF HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND I REALLY NEED HELP ALONG WITH THE OTHER THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE OUT THERE WITH THE SAME CAR AND SAME PROBLEMS. ALL I WANT IS MY CAR FIXED. THIS IS NOT FAIR TO US ESPECIALLY AFTER WE PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR THE VEHICLE AND THEN HAVE TO TURN AROUND TO BUY A NEW TRANSMISSION. PLEASE HELP! *TR

MY CAR WOULD JUST START TO JERK REALLY HARD ONCE IT WAS IN 2ND GEAR AND GOING INTO 3RD GEAR. IT WOULD START OF BY OCCURRING EVERY 3RD DAY, BUT IT WORSEN SO I HAD IT TAKEN INTO A MECHANIC TO LOOK INTO IT; HE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. CAR WAS RUNNING FINE FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS, THEN IT BEGAN ONCE AGAIN WITH THE HARD JERKING AS I WAS STILL IN 1ST GEAR IT JERKED INTO 2ND GEAR WITH A LOUD CLUNKING SOUND AT THE END. THIS TIME I HAD TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC IN WHICH HE SUGGESTED TO CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION OIL IN WHICH HE DID. ONCE I GOT MY VEHICLE BACK IT RAN FINE FOR THE FIRST DAY, ON THE SECOND DAY THE PROBLEM HAD RETURNED AGAIN AND SEEMS TO JUST TO GET WORSE. *TR

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA STARTED TO SHIFT EXTREMELY HARD. NOT ONLY THAT BUT IN TRAFFIC IT CAN BE VERY SCAREY ALMOST CAUSING YOU TO HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF YOU OR BEING ALMOST HIT IN THE REAR BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION GETS STUCK AND THEN SHIFTS EXTREMELY HARD. THIS VEHICLE IS USED TO TRANSPORT MY KIDS. I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX NISSANS MISTAKES. TIMES ARE DIFFICULT FINANCIALLY RIGHT NOW. NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THERE MISTAKES. THEY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO SELL VEHICLES THAT ARE NOT RELIABLE. PLEASE HELP US WITH THIS SITUATION. IT NOT ONLY PUT MY CHILDREN IN DANGER BUT IT HAS TAKEN A FINANCIAL TOW ON MY FAMILY. NISSAN NEEDS TO FIX THIS!!!

I PURCHASED A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA BRAND NEW IN JANUARY 2005. I HAD NEVER DRIVEN THE VEHICLE OTHER THAN LOCAL TO WORK. AT 66000 MILES MY TRANSMISSION BEGAN HARD SHIFTING. I CONTACTED NISSAN CORPORATE OFFICE TO AUTHORIZE AN OUT OF WARRANTY REPAIR AND THEY REFUSED. IT COST ME 3200.00 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. NOW I AM HAVING STRANGE NOISES COMING FROM THE FRONT END. I BELIEVE IT IS THE SUSPENSION. THIS CAR HAS NOT LIVED UP TO MY EXPECTATIONS AND I HOPE SOMEONE WILL TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS MAKE AND MODEL CAR AND MAKE THE CONSUMERS BACK WHOLE. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN PRODUCT SIMPLY BECAUSE THE PRODUCTS ARE POORLY MANUFACTURED AND NISSAN DOES NOT STAND BEHIND ITS PRODUCT. *TR

2005 MAXIMA TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I OWN A 2005 MAXIMA I PURCHASED NEW FROM THE DEALER. IN OCT OF 2009 I TOOK TO NISSAN DEALER DUE TO A STRANGE NOISE THAT WOULD OCCUR DURING ACCELERATION. UPON INSPECTION THE DEALER FOUND THE BOTTOM MOTOR MOUNTS BROKEN AND REPLACE (UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY) NOW I AM EXPERIENCING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS - HARD SHIFTS FROM 1ST-2ND AND 2ND-1ST. THERE IS NO INDICATOR LIGHT ON THAT SAYS THERE IS A PROBLEM. TOOK TO A NISSAN DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING - YET THE PROBLEM EXISTS AND IS GETTING WORSE. I AM NOW OUT OF MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND HAVE READ COUNTLESS BLOGS THAT RELATE TO THE SAME ISSUES I AM EXPERIENCING AND YET NISSAN FAILS TO RESPOND TO THE CONSUMER. THE MOTOR MOUNT ISSUE SEEMS TO BE DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE, BUT NISSAN SIMPLY CHARGES YOU A $125. INSPECTION FEE AND SENDS YOU DOWN THE ROAD TELLING YOU YOUR CAR IS FINE, WHEN IT ISN'T. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO DEMAND A RECALL??? I AM JUST GETTING BACK ON MY FEET AFTER LOSING MY JOB, LOSING MY HOUSE AND NOW HAVING TO DEAL WITH A CAR THAT WILL BREAK DOWN ANY DAY - LEAVING ME TO WONDER HOW THE HELL I WILL GET TO WORK. I SAY CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT - AGAINST NISSAN AND OUR GOVERNMENT WHO SHOULD BE REGULATED VEHICLES AND THE COMPLAINTS THAT ARE FILED AGAINST THEM. *TR

SAME AS EVERYONE ELSE. MY 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA'S TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. IT MAKES A "POPPING" NOISE. I HAVE HAD THE MOTOR MOUNTS REPLACED. IT STILL NEEDS STRUT MOUNTS & POSSIBLY NEW STRUTS. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY "NEAR MISSES" IN TRAFFIC OR ANYTHING THOUGH. I AM UNEMPLOYED & CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX IT IN ORDER TO SELL IT. I'M SURE THE "CORPORATE" PEOPLE AT NISSAN DOESN'T HAVE ANY OF THESE DILEMMAS. *TR

THE PROBLEM FIRST APPEARED WITH HARD, ALMOST VIOLENT JERKING WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. NOT TOO LONG AFTER THAT STARTED, I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THE TRANSMISSION CEASED AND I HAD TO LIMP IT OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND BE TOWED. THE TRANSMISSION, TORQUE CONVERTER AND MOTOR MOUNTS HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE MOTOR MOUNTS WERE BROKEN FROM THE HARD SHIFTING. IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BY SIX MONTHS. FROM THE COUNTLESS NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE SEEN, NISSAN EQUIPPED THIS MODEL YEAR (AND 2004) WITH A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION YET THEY WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIRS BY ISSUING A RECALL. TOTAL COST TO REPAIR WAS $3,559. *TR

2005 NISSAN MAXIMA JERKS WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. THE PROBLEM OCCURS CONSTANTLY WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. ALSO OCCURS WHEN DOWN SHIFTING. THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF A HESITATION ON THE VEHICLE WHEN DOWN SHIFTING AT WHICH POINT, IT FINALLY GETS INTO GEAR WITH A JERK MOVEMENT. VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW AND ONLY HAS ABOUT 88,000 MILES. TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE FIXED HOPING IT WOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY AND I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST AROUND $3,000. FURTHERMORE, I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE MOTOR MOUNTS. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, FOUND NUMEROUS PEOPLE MAKING THE SAME COMPLAINT AND NISSAN WOULD NEVER FIX THIS ON THEIR OWN BEHALF. IT APPEARS THAT THE ISSUE IS VERY COMMON WITH NISSAN 2004/05/06 VEHICLES AND IT APPEARS TO BE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. WITH SEVERAL COMPLAINTS BEING FILED NOW, I AM SURPRISED NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED ON THIS DEFECT. *TR

WE OWN A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA. AT 63,000 MILES, THIS VEHICLE JERKS AND SHIFTS ON ITS OWN. WE HAVE SEARCHED ONLINE FOR OTHER PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THESE TYPE OF PROBLEMS, AND WHAT WE FOUND WAS EXTREMELY DISTURBING. THERE ARE MANY FAMILIES OUT THERE EXPERIENCING THE SANE EXACT TYPE OF PROBLEMS! NISSAN IS UNWILLING TO HELP THEIR CUSTOMERS. THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING ON, BUT THEY WONT ADMIT THAT THERE IS SOMETHING FAULTY WITH THEIR DESIGN. WE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND WITH ENGINE MOUNTS. UNFORTUNATELY, WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THIS. WHEN WE BOUGHT THIS CAR, WE THOUGHT WE WERE MAKING A GOOD INVESTMENT. PLEASE HELP US!!!!!! SOMEONE NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE THIS FURTHER AND ISSUE A RECALL. JUST LIKE US, THERE MUST BE OTHER FAMILIES DRIVING THEIR 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA IN THESE CONDITIONS BECAUSE THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX THEIR CARS, AND NISSAN WON'T DO A THING TO HELP. PLEASE DON'T WAIT FOR A FATALITY. *TR

THERE WERE NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE PERFORMANCE ISSUE/FAILURE. PURCHASE A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA. TRANSMISSION STARTED STICKING GOING INTO 2 ND GEAR. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY ISSUES. PROBLEM ESCALATED- . TRANSMISSION BANGS WHEN DOWNSHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 1ST GEAR. TRANSMISSION SURGES WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER SLOWING DOWN. TRANSMISSION HESITATES AT LEAST 15 SECONDS BEFORE ENGAGING INTO GEAR WHEN IN PARK OR NEUTRAL. PROBLEM OCCURS REGULARLY WHEN CAR IS WARMED UP WHEN TAKING OFF INTO TRAFFIC THE GEARS STICK WHICH CAUSES THE CAR TO HESITATE ALMOST STALL. THIS IS NOW A CONSISTENT PROBLEM. I AM AFRAID THAT SOMEONE WILL RUN INTO ME AND INJURE IF NOT KILL MY CHILD WHO RIDES IN THE BACK SEAT AND/OR ANOTHER DRIVER COULD BE INJURED OR KILLED. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY CLAIMED NOT TO BE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. I HAVE TRIED TO WORK WITH THEM FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. I FILED A CLAIM WITH THEM AND THEY DENIED IT WITH NO WRITTEN EXPLANATION. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD THE CAR SERVICED ON TIME AT THE DEALER. I AM NOW TOLD THAT I COULD REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION FOR $4000. THIS IS AN OUT RAGE THAT NISSAN IS ALLOWED TO BE SO IRRESPONSIBLE BY NOT BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR FAULTY AND DANGEROUS VEHICLE. THEY ARE GETTING AWAY WITH PUTTING DRIVERS LIVES AT RISK. *TR
