STRUCTURE
I PURCHASED MY 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA SL BRAND NEW FROM KRAFT NISSAN IN JULY 2005. FOUR YEARS LATER, I HAVE BEEN VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE SERVICE THAT NISSAN PROVIDES TO CUSTOMERS. I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH NISSAN'S SERVICE SINCE DAY ONE. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN IN THE PAST ABOUT ISSUES CONCERNING MY MAXIMA. YESTERDAY (DECEMBER 2, 2009) AFTER WORK, I GOT INTO MY CAR TO FIND OUT THAT IT WAS WET ON THE INSIDE FROM THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR PANEL TO THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. MOST OF THE ROOF LINE WAS COMPLETELY SATURATED WITH WATER AND DRIPPING FROM THE SUNGLASS STORAGE PANEL AND EACH DOOR. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY WORK DONE OR ACCIDENTS. I FEEL THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE SEALS OR DRAINS IN THIS CAR. THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I PAID FOR A LUXURY NISSAN NOT A PIECE OF JUNK AND CONTINUALLY MAKE MY PAYMENTS TIMELY. KRAFT NISSAN INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WOULD HAVE TO KEEP MY CAR ALL DAY AND CHARGE ME $90 JUST TO DIAGNOSIS THE PROBLEM. MY PROBLEM IS THAT MY CAR IS ALMOST ALWAYS PARK IN A GARAGE, WHETHER AT WORK OR AT HOME. IN FLORIDA IT RAINS A LOT AND I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS ISSUE WITH A CAR THAT IS ONLY 4.5 YEARS OLD. I PROMISE YOU I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN NOR WILL I RECOMMEND TO ANYONE TO BUY A NISSAN. *TR

2005 NISSAN MAXIMA, TRANSMISSION SHIFTS EXTREMELY HARD WHEN UPSHIFTING AND DOWN SHIFTING. SOMETIMES IT JUST STAYS NEUTRAL WHILE STOP AND WHEN THE GAS IS PRESSED IT JUMPS FORWARD. THIS IS EXTREMELY SCARY AND UNSAFE. I WAS READING ABOUT THIS AND IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN MAXIMAS 2004 AND NEWER. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS EVERYWHERE. *TR

AT LOW SPEEDS, THE CAR JERKS INTO GEAR AS IF IT HAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. IT SEEMS TO DO IT MORE OFTEN WHEN THE CAR HAS WARMED UP. SOME DAYS IT DOES IT EVERY TIME WHEN SWITCHING BETWEEN 1ST, 2ND AND 3RD GEARS. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND WAS TOLD I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION CAR ONLY HAS 88000 MILES ON IT. I HAD NOTICED THE PROBLEM ABOUT A MONTH OR SO BEFORE TAKING IT IN TO BE CHECKED. I LOOKED THE ISSUE UP ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND WHERE NUMEROUS NISSAN MAXIMA OWNERS WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. MANY OF THEM HAD VARIOUS EXPENSIVE REPAIRS DONE. NOT SAFE IN TRAFFIC AS CAR LUNGES FORWARD! *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA HAS STARTED SHOWING SIGNS OF WHAT MAY BE SERIOUS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. AS TO THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION TO CORRECT THESE INTERMITTENT AND RANDOM SYMPTOMS THAT INCLUDE: 1. TAKES ABOUT 5 SECONDS TO CLICK INTO GEAR AFTER THE SHIFT LEVER IS PUT IN "D" 2. VERY HARD JERKY SHIFTS BETWEEN 1ST TO 2ND AND 2ND TO 1ST AND ACCOMPANIED BY LOUD CLUNKING NOISE. 3. TRANSMISSION SLIPS OUT OF GEAR DURING REGULAR DRIVING ALLOWING THE ENGINE TO REV FREELY THEN JERKING BACK INTO GEAR WITH A LOUD CLUNK. THE IS FOLLOWED BY A BURNT OIL / ELECTRICAL TYPE SMELL THAT GETS INSIDE THE CAR AND EVIDENT OUTSIDE AFTER STOPPING. SOMETIMES I GO FOR DAYS WITH NO SYMPTOMS AT ALL AND OTHER TIMES IT MAY HAPPEN A DOZEN TIMES IN A DAY. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER AND NONE OF THE PROBLEMS SHOWED UP FOR THEM BUT THEY NOTED THAT THE ENGINE MOUNTS WERE BROKEN BUT THAT WOULD NOT CAUSE THESE SYMPTOMS. THEY SUGGESTED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND MOTOR MOUNTS FOR $4,000. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 05 MAXIMA AND FOR THE PAST 2 MONTHS I HAVE HAD A JERKING WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR. IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN I ROLE OF FROM 5 TO 30 MPH THE CAR JERKS AND IT RPMS TO 5K THEN DROPS. ALSO WHEN I AM SLOWING DOWN THE CAR JERKS MORE. THEY CHANGED MY MOTOR MOUNTS AND SAID THAT IT. THE NEXT DAY IT STARTED AGAIN. THREE WEEKS LATER I CONFRONTED THEM AGAIN AND THE STATED TO ME THAT THERE IS ONLY A RECALL ON THE CVT TRANSMISSION THAT IS IN THE MURANO THAT HAS A RECALL. I HAVE SPOKEN TO QUITE A FEW PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE GOTTEN THE SAME ANSWER. ITS NOT FAIR THAT PEOPLE SPEND THERE HARD EARNED MONEY ON AN 30,000 CAR AND HAVE TO GO THREW THESE PROBLEMS. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED WITH 69,000 MILES AND WAS IN GOOD CONDITION, OWNED FOR EIGHT MONTHS AND DRIVEN LIGHTLY. TRANSMISSION INTERMITTENTLY JERKS WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR AND ALSO FROM 2ND TO 1ST. OCCASIONALLY REVS WHEN UP SHIFTING THEN SHIFTS WITH A BANG AND JERK. WHEN PROBLEMS OCCUR, THE MANU-MATIC MODE DISPLAYS 'S' INSTEAD OF WHAT GEAR YOU'RE IN LIKE IT IS SUPPOSED TO, AND WILL NOT SHIFT GEARS MANUALLY IN THIS MODE. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AND THEY EVENTUALLY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION WITH A REBUILT TRANSMISSION. REBUILT TRANSMISSION LASTED LESS THAN SIX MONTHS BEFORE EXHIBITING THE SAME PROBLEMS. *TR

AT LOW SPEEDS, THE CAR JERKS INTO GEAR AS IF IT HAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. IT SEEMS TO DO IT MORE OFTEN WHEN THE CAR HAS WARMED UP. SOME DAYS IT DOES NOT DO IT AT ALL, BUT SOME DAYS IT DOES IT EVERY TIME WHEN SWITCHING BETWEEN 1ST, 2ND AND 3RD GEARS. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN REPAIR SHOP HERE IN TOWN ON OCTOBER 14TH, 2009, BUT THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I HAD NOTICED THE PROBLEM ABOUT A MONTH OR SO BEFORE TAKING IT IN TO BE CHECKED. I LOOKED THE ISSUE UP ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND WHERE NUMEROUS NISSAN MAXIMA OWNERS WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. MANY OF THEM HAD VARIOUS EXPENSIVE REPAIRS DONE (TRANSMISSION FLUSHED OR REPLACED) TO NO AVAIL. *TR

WHEELS
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 60-65 MPH THE VEHICLES ROAD PERFORMANCE WAS VERY POOR DUE THE EXTREMELY LOW TIRE PRESSURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SERVICE STATION TO INFLATE THE LOW PRESSURED TIRES. IDENTICAL FAILURES OCCURRED ON SEVERAL SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE FAILURES WAS CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE CHROME WITHIN THE INNER WHEELS. THE DEFECT CAUSED LOW TIRE PRESSURE, IN WHICH ALL FOUR TIRES HAD DEEP CRACKS. THE FOUR TIRES WERE REPLACED ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,00. THE VIN NUMBER WAS UNAVAILABLE.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2005 NISSAN MAXIMA. 92,200 MILES. STARTED NOTICING ISSUES AROUND 85,000 MILES, BUT BECAME A SERIOUS ISSUE AROUND 90,000 MILES. TRANSMISSION HESITATES 10+ SECONDS AT STOP SIGNS OR WHEN SWITCHING BETWEEN DRIVE AND REVERSE AND THEN ENGAGES AND CAR JERKS INTO GEAR. SHIFTS HARD BETWEEN 1ST & 2ND GEAR. RPM'S GO WAY UP BEFORE TRANSMISSION CATCHES AND CLUNKS INTO GEAR. SLIPS IN FREEWAY TRAFFIC. HAVE HAD TRANSMISSION FLUID FLUSHED TWICE IN PAST 4 MONTHS. NISSAN DEALER RAN $100 DIAGNOSTIC AND FOUND NOTHING OTHER THAN CRACKED MOTOR MOUNT BECAUSE CAR DOES NOT ACT UP CONSISTENTLY. DEALER RECOMMENDED REPLACING MOTOR MOUNT ($480) AND PROBABLY TRANSMISSION ($3800), SINCE THE MOTOR MOUNT WOULD NOT EXPLAIN JUMPING RPM'S. 300+ IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS ON JUST ONE INTERNET BLOG MENTION THAT FIXING MOTOR MOUNTS DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM, SO I AM HESITANT TO HAVE THAT DONE. MULTIPLE BLOGS SHOW THE SAME COMPLAINTS WITH IDENTICAL SYMPTOMS. FILED A "CAR NEEDS REPAIR" COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS, AND HAVE ONLY SPOKEN TO SOMEONE ONCE, DURING WHICH CALL THEY SAID THEY WOULD 'HAVE TO CALL ME BACK' AFTER LISTENING TO ME DESCRIBE MY PROBLEM FOR ONLY ABOUT 2 MINUTES. "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT CAME ON THIS MORNING, AND CAR SEEMS TO BE HAVING DIFFICULTY SHIFTING AT ALL. SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO EVEN SEE ABOUT REPAIRS. NISSAN NEEDS TO DO A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I AM HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH MY 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA SE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT BECAUSE IT WOULD MESS UP AFTER IT WARMED UP. IT WOULD JERK IN DOWN SHIFTING AND WHEN I ACCELERATED. FIRST THE GUY SAID IT MIGHT BE MY MOTOR MOUNTS. THEY ADVISED ME THAT I NEEDED A TRANSMISSION FLUSH BECAUSE WE NEEDED TO START SOMEWHERE. I GOT THAT DONE AND MY PROBLEM CONTINUED. THEN HE SAID THAT I NEEDED MY FUEL INDUCTION DONE. HE SAID THAT HE PUT IT ON THE MACHINE AND THERE WHERE NO ERROR CODES. THEN AFTER I COMPLAINED AGAIN HE WANTED TO CHARGE ME TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC AFTER HE ALREADY SAID HE PUT IT ON THE MACHINE AND DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. ALSO MY SERVICE ENGINE SOON INDICATOR LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. I HAVE HAD 3 NISSAN MAXIMAS BUT NISSAN IS NOT WORKING WITH ME. I BOUGHT MY CAR IN AUG OF 2008 AND DIDN'T PURCHASE A WARRANTY. I THOUGHT NISSANS WERE GREAT CARS BUT AS STATED IN THE FORUMS LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM RIGHT AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRES AND NISSAN NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS IF THEY WANT TO KEEP LOYAL CUSTOMERS LIKE MYSELF. *TR

NISSAN DEALER REPLACED TRANSMISSION ($3800) AND SAID THIS IS HAPPENING FREQUENTLY WITH 2004-2005 MAXIMAS. 300+ IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS ON JUST ONE INTERNET BLOG. NISSAN NEEDS TO DO A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. DEALER FOUND CODE PO744A/T TCC S/V FUNCTION INDICATING FUNCTIONAL VALVE MALFUNCTION IN TRANSMISSION. *TR

NISSAN 2005 MAXIMA HAD A DEFECT IN THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE DEVICE WHERE WATER FROM THE ROAD ACCUMULATED AND CAUSED CORROSION. NISSAN ADVISED THE DEALER TO DRILL A HOLE TO ALLOW WATER TO EXIT. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY HAD PRIOR OCCURRENCES EXACTLY LIKE THIS. THE COST TO ME WAS$ 534.34. *TR UPDATED 11/16/09 THE CONSUMER WANTED TO KNOW THE STATUS OF HER COMPLAINT. UPDATED 03/29/10

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA, AND THIS CAR IS HAVING SHIFTING PROBLEMS, I ONLY HAVE 90K ON MY MAXIMA AND IT JERKS WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND ACCELERATING FROM 1ST GEAR TO 2ND GEAR WHICH SOMETIMES ME AND MY PASSENGERS GET WHIPLASH BY IT. I REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND THE CAR IS STILL SLIPPING INTO GEAR. SOME DAYS THE CAR WORKS GOOD, BUT MOST OF THE TIME THE CAR HAS TROUBLE WITH THE SHIFTING AND IS MAKING ME THINK LESS OF NISSAN MANUFACTURING. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I FIRST PURCHASED MY 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA LAST YEAR AND IT HAD 70,000+ MILES, IT WAS USED, AFTER THE FIRST WEEK I ENDED UP TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALER BECAUSE IT WAS JERKING AND SWITCHING. THEY INFORMED ME IT WAS THE MOTOR MOUNTS SO THEY REPLACED THEN. WHEN I GOT THE CAR BACK THE SAME PROBLEM WAS HAPPENING, SO AT MY NEXT OIL CHANGE I INFORMED THEM OF THE PROBLEM AGAIN, THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG, SO I LET IT GO. JUST RECENTLY THE CAR HAS BEEN JERKING ONCE I TRY TO ACCELERATE. THE WORST PART IS THAT I FOUND AN ACTUAL SITE WITH 30+ OTHER 2005 MAXIMA OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WHO WERE GIVEN THE SAME RESPONSE. IF THAT MANY CARS ARE DEFECTIVE SHOULDN'T THE MANUFACTURER FIX THE PROBLEM OR SUBMIT A RECALL. *TR

MY NISSAN MAXIMA '05 HAS ABOUT 37000 MILES. RECENTLY, THE TRANSMISSION HAS GONE BAD. THE CAR DOES NOT SHIFT RAPIDLY ENOUGH WHEN I ACCELERATE. ALSO, IT HAS SOMETIMES SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR AT LOW SPEEDS, CAUSING IT TO LURCH FORWARD IN BUMPER-TO-BUMPER TRAFFIC! THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS CAR DOES NOT WANT TO GO INTO GEAR BETWEEN 1ST TO 2ND AND 2ND TO 3RD. THEN IF IT DOES IT JERKS REALLY HARD AND SOUNDS LIKE ITS GOING TO FALL OUT. THEN THERE'S TIMES IT SLIPS. WHEN YOU PUT THE CAR INTO REVERSE YOU HAVE TO HOLD YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE REALLY HARD OR THE CAR WILL JUMP BACKWARDS. AS SOON AS THE CAR WARMS UP IT DOES THIS. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR OUT OF TOWN IN FEAR THE TRANSMISSION WILL COMPLETELY STOP. THERE ARE PLENTY OF WEBSITES WITH PEOPLE COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE. ITS NOT AN ISOLATED THING. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE OF FINANCIAL REASONS. THE CAR IS ONLY FOUR YEARS OLD. I BOUGHT IT USED AND HAVEN'T EVEN HAD IT A YEAR YET. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO KNOWN ISSUE OF THIS PROBLEM. I READ THAT OTHER PEOPLE WERE TOLD THE SAME THING WHEN THEY CALLED. THERE'S NO WAY A TRANSMISSION SHOULD HAVE PROBLEMS AFTER ONLY FOUR YEARS. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS, I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS THAT JUST ABOUT EVERY OTHER 2004-2005 NISSAN MAXIMA OWNER HAS EXPERIENCED. MINE IS A MAXIMA SE WITH 5 SPEED AUTO (WITH MANUAL SHIFT MODE). ONCE THE CAR WARMS UP, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY HARD AND ROUGH FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. IT ALSO DOWNSHIFTS HARD FROM 3RD TO 2ND GEAR. AT THIS POINT, IF I PUT THE CAR IN PARK OR REVERSE, AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE, THERE'S ABOUT A 3-5 SECOND DELAY, THEN IT MAKES A BANGING NOISE AS IT KICKS INTO GEAR. THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS GET WORSE: WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND AND 2ND TO 3RD GEARS IT SLIPS INTO NEUTRAL (CAUSING RPM'S TO FREELY SHOOT UP NEARLY TO THE REDLINE) AND THEN JERKS AND SLAMS BACK INTO GEAR VERY ROUGH & HARD. THIS REALLY AFFECTS THE CARS PERFORMANCE. THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS GO FROM WORSE TO MORE WORSE: EVENTUALLY SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 3RD AND 4TH GEAR, I'LL HEAR AND FEEL THE TRANSMISSION MAKE A BANGING SOUND AND LOCK UP...NO UP OR DOWN SHIFTING. THIS CAUSES THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT TO LIGHT UP. AT THIS POINT, THE CAR ACCELERATES VERY SLOWLY FROM A STOP SINCE IT'S LOCKED IN GEAR AND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE RPM'S ARE VERY HIGH. WHEN SWITCHING THE TRANSMISSION TO MANUAL MODE, THE GEAR INDICATOR ALWAYS STAYS AT "5". I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS AND RE-START THE CAR TO GET THE TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT AGAIN, BUT UNLESS IT'S HAD SEVERAL HOURS TO COOL OFF, THE SAME PROBLEMS START AGAIN IMMEDIATELY IN SEQUENCE. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT AND HOW NISSAN IS NOT BEING HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS BLOWS MY MIND AND IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE FOR A $30,000+ CAR THAT'S UNDER 5 YEARS OLD!!! *TR
