2005 Nissan Maxima complaints

I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN MY CAR. WHEN I DRIVE AND PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE IT JERKS REALLY HARD. WHEN I AM ACCELERATING IT DRAGS LIKE IT DOESN'T WANT TO GO AND THEN JERKS AND STARTS BACK UP TO SPEED. NISSAN SAID IT IS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. MY CAR WAS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM AND NISSAN WOULD NOT FIX IT. I SEE TONS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VERY ISSUE AND THEY HAVE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSIONS AND DON'T WANT TO ADMIT, BUT I THINK SOMEONE NEEDS TO MAKE THEM ACCOUNTABLE.. $4800 IS NOT POCKET CHANGE, AND MOST PEOPLE DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. THEY SHOULD FIX THIS FOR FREE. *TR

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA, I HAD TO HAVE A NEW TRANSMISSION PUT IN MY CAR. WHEN I FIRST TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP HERE IN MEMPHIS, TN, I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE AGENT AFTER TEST DRIVING THE VEHICLE THAT I WAS NOT HAVING A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM BUT THAT I NEEDED MOTOR MOUNTS AMONG OTHER REPAIRS WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE QUITE EXPENSIVE...ABOUT 3 DAYS AFTER HAVING THESE REPAIRS DONE, I TOOK THE CAR BACK IN WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT AS BEFORE AND WAS THEN TOLD I NEED A TRANSMISSION (THIS WAS MY COMPLAINT WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN, I COMPLAINED ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION) AND THIS WOULD COST ME $3,000+ IN ADDITION TO THE $2,000+ I HAD ALREADY SPENT. EVERYBODY THAT I KNOW WHO OWNS THE '05 MAXIMA HAS HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION OR IS AT THE POINT OF COMPLAINING AND QUESTIONING TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THE DEALER NOR CORPORATE IS OWNING UP TO ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS IN THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP THAT YOU ALL CAN GIVE TO GET NISSAN CORPORATION TO OWN UP TO THIS KNOWN DEFECT....THANKS. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 MAXIMA WITH THE VERY SAME TRANS PROBLEMS IN THE LOWER GEARS. HARD SHIFTING, SLAMMING INTO GEAR, ETC. FORTUNATELY, IT IS STILL DRIVABLE FOR NOW. I DON'T HAVE THE $3500 TO FIX IT. THIS AFTER JUST SPENDING $1700 FOR A NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER 3 MONTHS AGO. THE CAR IS A MONEY PIT. NEVER AGAIN!!! TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT I CAN STILL DRIVE IT UNTIL IT WONT GO ANYMORE. THAT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE A VERY SAFE BUSINESS PRACTICE FOR A DEALERSHIP TO TELL ITS CUSTOMERS. *TR

MY 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA'S TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING IN THE SEPTEMBER OF 2009, I HAD MAINTENANCE DONE ON THE ENTIRE CAR DONE INCLUDING THE TRANSMISSION WHICH STOPPED THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY. BY JANUARY OF 2010 THE PROBLEM CAME BACK AND WORST. THE CAR WOULD STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND IT TOOK ABOUT 5 SECONDS FOR THE CAR TO CHANGE SHIFT. IT WOULD ALSO JERK VERY VIOLENTLY WHEN CHANGING SHIFTS, SO HARD THAT I WAS ALMOST PUSHED OUT TO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, I FINALLY HAD IT ON APRIL 5TH 2010 WHEN OUT OF NOWHERE THE TRANSMISSION GAVE OUT ENTIRELY. I WAS GOING UP A HILL AND THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION LET GO SO IT STARTED GOING BACKWARDS FAST, I PRESSED FORWARD ON THE GAS ONLY TO GET A HARD REV AND NOTHING ELSE. I KEPT GOING UNTIL I HIT THE BRAKES HARD INADVERTENTLY MAKING ME HIT A TREE DENTING MY BUMPER. MY CAR IS NOW SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY UNTIL I COME UP WITH THE MONEY TO PAY FOR A BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION. I SPOKE TO NISSAN AND THEY SUGGESTED I TAKE MY CAR TO A CERTIFIED DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTICS RUN WHICH COST ME 100 DOLLARS. THEY OFFERED ME A NEW TRANSMISSION FOR 4500 BUT I HAGGLED DOWN TO 2500. I AM IN COLLEGE AND CANNOT AFFORD SPENDING THAT KIND OF MONEY. I AM STILL PAYING OFF THIS CAR AND IT IS CAUSING ME DISTRESS. IF I DON'T GET ANY HELP I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WILL DO. *TR

2005 MAXIMA SE....76,000 MILES...... I HAVE HAD JERKY TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AROUND 0-20 MPH... I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS..... SOMEONE GET NISSAN TO DO A RECALL PLEASE... I'M SURE THEY CAN'T COME UP WITH THE MONEY TO REPAIR ALL OF MAXIMA'S TRANSMISSIONS FOR FREE, THAT IS PROBABLY THE ONLY THING HOLDING THEM UP...... WELL, BEING 23 YEARS OLD, WORKING 110 HOUR WEEKS DURING THE SUMMER FARMING.... I FOUND MYSELF BUYING A NICE 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA THINKING THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE A DEPENDABLE CAR, WEEKS LATER I FIND OUT IT IS NOTHING BUT JUNK AND IS TOO LATE TO RETURN BACK TO NISSAN.... I'M SURE YOU GUYS HAVE DEALT WITH MANY OF OTHER 2004-2006 NISSAN MAXIMA OWNER'S COMPLAINTS... BUT IT'S TIME TO FORCE NISSAN TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND ADMIT FAILURE, AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO PUT AN END TO THIS NON-SENSE. I HAVE 4 YEARS OF PAYMENTS ON THIS CAR, THE LEAST THEY COULD DO IS GIVE ME A PROPERLY WORKING TRANSMISSION...... ALSO--- I HAVE READ MANY OF A/C COMPLAINTS, ALL WHICH REPORT OF A/C HOSE NEEDING TO BE REPLACED COSTING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS, MY AIR CONDITIONER JUST WENT OUT THE OTHER DAY..... GOOD THING I HAVE A SUN ROOF AND WINDOWS THAT WORK. THIS MIGHT AS WELL ALSO BE THROWN IN THE WITH THE RECALL. THANKS *TR

I AM FILING A COMPLAIN ABOUT MY NISSAN MAXIMA 05. I HAVE BEEN ON DIFFERENT WEBSITES WERE I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT OWNS THE MAXIMA 04-05 MODELS HAVE THE SAME COMPLAIN. AND THE COMPLAINS ARE THE TIMING CHAIN AND THE TRANSMISSION. I THINK NISSAN SHOULD STAND BY THEIR WORK AND DO A RECALL FOR THEY CAN SEE WHAT IS THE PROBLEM AND FIX THE PROBLEM. SOME PEOPLE ARE STILL PAYING FOR THIS EXPENSIVE CAR AND CAN'T AFFORD TO PAYING FOR MANUFACTURE PROBLEMS. THE TIMING CHAIN AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED. AND THE PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED. *TR

WOW! THIS IS CRAZY! I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM> I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA AND LATELY ABOUT A MONTH AGO WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN DRIVE IT JERKS BIG TIME. THIS IS ON AND OFF. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER FOR THEM TO SAY IT WAS MY MOTOR MOUNTS AND THEY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WELL AFTER HEARING ALL THESE COMPLAINTS IT LOOKS LIKE I WILL JUST WASTE MONEY TO GET THESE MOUNTS REPLACED. MY CAR HAS 81,000 MILES ON IT AND ITS BEEN DRIVEN LIGHTLY AND BABIED> I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WILL NOT HAVE A RECALL ON THIS. NOONE SHOULD HAVE TO PAY MONEY FOR AN ISSUE THAT'S OBVIOUSLY MESSING PEOPLE OVER! *TR

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA SLIPPING GEARS WHEN EVER YOU GIVE IT GAS. IT DOES IT ALL THE TIME AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET IN A WRECK. I HAVE IT IN THE SHOP NOW AND THEY ARE TELLING ME I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND VALVE BODY. THE CAR ONLY HAS 77,000 MILES AND NISSAN WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. PLEASE HELP THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ONLINE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE IT IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED!! *TR

2005 NISSAN MAXIMA JERKS/SURGES FROM DIFFERENT AUTOMATIC GEARS CAUSING VEHICLE TO ESCALATE IN POWER. UPDATED 04/21/10

DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR IN 05 MAXIMA NOT WORKING PROPERLY. *TR

I NOTIFIED NISSIAN HEADQUARTERS THAT I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY TRANSMISSION. THE REGIONAL REPRESENTIVES FOR NISSIAN HEADQUATERS INDICATED TO ME THAT I NEED TO TAKE MY 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT PLACE ON THE DIGNOSTIC MACHINE WHICH COST ME 95.00. NISSAN DEARLERSHIP RESULTS WAS A BAD TRANSMISSION. THE REGIONAL REPRESENTIVE GAVE ME A FILE NUMBER(6763040). I INDICATE TO THE REGIONAL REPRESENTIVE THAT MY CAR JERKS IN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. THE RPM GOES UP WITH A HARD THUMP SOUND. ON 2-9-2010, I PICKED UP MY DAUGHTER FROM DAYCARE AND WAS TURNING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND A BIG TRUCK ALMOST HIT MY CAR BECAUSE OF THE CAR HESITATE TO GO INTO 2ND GEAR CAUSING IT TO SLOW DOWN WHILE I TURNING INTO ON GOING TRAFFIC. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NISSAN HEADQUATERS KNOWS IT. THE RESULT FROM HEADQUATERS CAME BACK FROM THE REGIONAL REPRESENTIVE AND SHE INDICATE NO, WE WILL NOT FIX YOUR CAR, I EXPLAIN TO HER THAT I KNOW MY CAR HAS 90,000 MILES BUT IT IS A NISSAN AND THESE CARS SUPPOSE TO BE WELL BUILT. I ASK HER FOR A GOOD WILL FIX AND SHE STILL INDICATE NO WE WILL NOT FIX YOUR CAR. THE REGIONAL REPRESENTIATIVE QUOTED, THAT WE WILL ONLY FIX CARS ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASE. I TOLD THEM THAT THEY NEED TO FIX ALL THE CARS BECAUSE THEY KNOW MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THAT PARTICALR YEAR NISSIAN MAXIMA. REGIONAL REP SAID WE WILL TRADE YOUR CAR FOR A NEW AND TAKE 4% OFF AND I TOLD THEM I CANNOT AFFORD A NEW CAR. NISSAN COMPANY KNOW THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION BU

IMPROPER BRAKING FUNCTION WITH ABS IN 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA - STARTED WITH NOISE AND "SOFT" BRAKES. IT CONTINUED TO A POINT WHERE THE ABS WAS INCORRECTLY BEING ACTIVATED (EVEN WHEN THE CAR WAS OFF). IT SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO A SPEED SENSOR IN THE WHEELS. THIS CONTROLS THE ABS ACTIVATION AND THE SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER. THE SPEEDOMETER HAS STOPPED WORKING. AND DUE TO THE ABS BEING UNDER CONSTANT STRAIN, THE ABS CONTROL MODULE IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE REPLACED.

2005 NISSAN MAXIMA STARTED HAVING A DELAY IN GOING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE AND ALSO JERKING INTO GEARS. EMAILED NISSAN AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE TO NISSAN TO HAVE CHECKED. CALLED NISSAN SERVICE DEPT AND WAS ADVISED THAT IT'S NOT WORTH BRINGING IN AND PAYING TO HAVE CHECKED WHEN YOU ALREADY KNOW THERE IS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. WAS ADVISED IT'S AROUND $4700 TO REPLACE.

2005 NISSAN MAXIMA TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. TRANSMISSION JERKS WHEN SHIFTING IN LOW GEARS OR GOING FROM REVERSE TO FIRST GEAR. ENGINE REVS HIGH AND THEN THE CAR SLAMS INTO GEAR, THIS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS INCLUDING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS PROBLEM CAUSES THE CAR TO SURGE FORWARD WHEN IT OCCURS. THIS PROBLEM STARTED AROUND 75K MILES ON THE CAR. REPORTS FROM SEVERAL TRANSMISSION SHOPS INDICATE THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE 04 AND 05 MAXIMAS. I HAVE LOGGED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS WITH NO RESOLUTIN AT THIS POINT.

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA. IT HAS BEEN JERKING BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR SHIFTING. DEALER SUGGESTED MOTOR MOUNTS REPLACEMENT. THIS WAS DONE. PROBLEM STILL PERSIST. JERKING GOT WORSE AND GOT ENGINE CODE. TOOK TO DEALER AND NOW THEY ARE SAYING THE TRANSMISSION IS BAD. IT SEEMS TONS OF FOLKS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE JERKED AND SLAMMED INTO GEAR ON ITS OWN. THE DRIVER PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO TRAVEL. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90000. UPDATED 05/11/10. *LJ

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA THAT IS HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I PURCHASED THE CAR WITH 97,000 MILES A YEAR AGO. SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH HARD SHIFTS- SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR AS WELL AS A HARD BANGING SOUND WHEN IT FINDS THE RIGHT GEAR. I HAVE CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION AND SEVERAL OTHER PARTS, ONLY TO ENCOUNTER THE SAME PROBLEMS. THERE SEEMS TO BE A BIG PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN THESE CARS. RESEARCH ON-LINE SHOWED THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

WE BOUGHT A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA BRAND NEW. LAST YEAR 2009 THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SLIP AND THE AIR CONDITIONER WENT OUT. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE AIR WOULD BE $1400 SO WHEN THE TRANNY WAS A PROBLEM I KNEW NOT TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE CAR WOULD JERK AND SLAM INTO GEAR. I HAD MY 2 CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND IT COMPLETELY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO A LOCAL TRANSMISSION PLACE AND WAS TOLD I WOULD NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION FOR $3000. THE CAR HAS BEEN BABIED AND SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES. IT IS GARAGED KEPT AND ALL MAINTENANCE DONE. THE CAR WAS LESS THAN 4 YEARS OLD WHEN ALL THESE PROBLEMS STARTED. AFTER SEEING ALL THE COMPLAINTS I BELIEVE NISSAN SHOULD RECALL AND REFUND THIS PARTICULAR TRANSMISSION. MY MECHANIC CANNOT GET ANY HELP FROM NISSAN AND IT STILL HAS ISSUES. MY CHILDREN AND I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED THE WAY THE CAR LOST ALL GEARS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO PULL OVER. THERE ARE MORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA TRANSMISSION THAN TOYOTA AND LOOK WHAT THEY ARE DOING. DO PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE FOR NISSAN TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY? I WANT TO BE INCLUDED IN ANY AND ALL CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS THAT PERTAIN TO THIS ISSUE. I STILL OWN MONEY ON THIS LEMON. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA FROM A DEALERSHIP NOT AFFILIATED WITH NISSAN. THE IS NOT 30 DAYS OLD AND IT JERKS FROM 1ST TO 3RD AS IF I HAVE A STIFF SHIFT,THE ENGINE WILL REV UP WHILE GOING 30-40MPH AND JERK FORWARD ALMOST CAUSING ME TO ALMOST REAR END ANOTHER VEHICLE. AND AFTERWARDS I CAN SMELL THIS METAL/CHEMICAL ODOR ACCUMULATING IN THE VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE HAS SEVERE SHIFTING PROBLEMS. *TR

TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS WITHOUT HESITATION AND IT WOULD ALSO SLIP OUT OF GEAR. THE FAILURE OCCURRED 30% OF THE TIME WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE MOTOR MOUNTS; HOWEVER, THE TRANSMISSION CONTINUED TO MALFUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST WHO STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REBUILT. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 9,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 78,700.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE I NOTICED JERKING AND CAR WAS NOT SHIFTING GEARS. I THEN THOUGHT TO HAVE THE CAR SERVICED SO I DID. THEY ADVISED GETTING A TRANSMISSION MOTOR MOUNT,BUT THAT DIDN'T WORK AND IT SURE WASN'T THE PROBLEM. THEN I DECIDED TO HAVE IT CHECK BY TWO TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST. THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS INCIDENT WAS VERY RARE TO HAPPEN TO NISSANS WITH THE AMOUNT OF MILES IT HAS. THE CAR HAS APPROX. 79,000 MILES ON IT. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF BUYING A NEWER CAR IF SUCH A PROBLEM WOULD OCCUR SO SOON. I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY PERSON SUFFERING BUT I WASN'T. SO I WENT ON HAD IT LOOKED AT THE 2ND TIME AND THEY TOLD ME THE CAR WAS SLIPPING ON THE 2ND GEAR AND FALLING OUT OF 2ND AND 3RD GEAR. IT WAS SAID THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION AND THAT HARD PARTS WEREN'T EVEN COVERED UNDER THE ESTIMATE OF A COUPLE THOUSAND DOLLARS. SO, I NEEDED A SECOND OPINION AND I WENT TO ANOTHER SPECIALIST AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE SAME EXACT REASON AND THE RINGS IN THE TRANSMISSION COULD HAVE GONE BAD. SO WHERE WAS SUPPOSED TO START........I FEEL VERY MUCH SO THAT THIS A MANUFACTURES ERROR AND IT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED ON THAT END. I'VE HEARD ALOT OF GOOD THINGS ABOUT NISSAN BUT, THERE'S A LOT OF DOUBT ABOUT THE PRODUCTS THEY SELL TO CONSUMERS THAT COULD ENDANGER SOMEONE OR SOMETHING. *TR

MY 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA HAS 63000 MILES AND HAS STARTED SHOWING SIGNS OF WHAT MAY BE SERIOUS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. RANDOM SYMPTOMS THAT INCLUDE: * VERY HARD JERKY SHIFTS BETWEEN 1ST TO 2ND AND 2ND TO 1ST AND ACCOMPANIED BY LOUD CLUNKING NOISE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH HE COULD FEEL THE VEHICLE LUNGE FORWARD WHENEVER HE WAS DOWN SHIFTING AND GOING OVER 40 MPH. WHEN HE SLOWED THE VEHICLE DOWN THE RPMS INCREASED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE MOTOR MOUNT MAY HAVE CAUSED THE FAILURE TO OCCUR. HE THEN TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE TO THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA AND I'VE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THERE IS A SEVERE JERKING FROM THE TRANSMISSION WHEN GOING INTO TO GEAR OR WHEN SHIFTING GEARS WHILE DRIVING. *TR

MY 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA HAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AT ONLY 85000 MILES. WHEN I AM DRIVING THE CAR HAS PROBLEM SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND AND 2ND TO 3RD. ALSO THE CAR WHEN IT IS PARKED AND I PUT IT ON DRIVE IT WILL GIVE A QUICK JOLT FORWARDS. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN READING THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF POSTS ONLINE WITH PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC AND THEY SAY I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION WHICH WILL COST AROUND 4000! IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE A CAR LIKE THIS BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA SE, AND LIKE ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS, I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS IN THE SHIFTING FROM SECOND TO THIRD GEAR, AND A THUMP WHEN PUTTING IT IN REVERSE OR DRIVE. THE THUMP IS SO HARD, IT MAKES THE CAR SHAKE. *TR

I BROUGHT MY CAR TO NISSAN FOR SERVICE BECAUSE I HEARD A WHINING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. I WAS INFORMED BY NISSAN THAT THE TIMING CHAIN ON MY VEHICLE MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA WITH ONLY 50,000 MILES. IF THIS PART IS NOT REPLACED, THE CAR WILL STOP IMMEDIATELY AND WILL REQUIRE TOWING. I'M DISTURBED BY THIS ISSUE, BECAUSE NISSAN WAS MADE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE WITH THEIR 2005-2008 MODELS, SINCE 2006, AND HAVE ONLY LISTED THIS AS A BULLETIN. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS AND FORUMS ON THIS ISSUE, HOWEVER THEY DO NOT DEEM THIS AS A RECALL. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, BECAUSE IF A VEHICLE HALTS IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY, THIS CAN BE A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN. ALSO THERE MAY BE EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. I ALSO HAVE A 1995 MAXIMA THAT HAS NEVER UNDERGONE A TIMING CHAIN REPLACEMENT. I'M HOPING THAT SOMEONE WILL LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE. *TR

1. CAR STARTED JERKING INTO GEAR AND SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR AT 70K MILES. 2. STARTING HAPPENING WITH MORE REGULARITY MAKING DRIVING THE VEHICLE DANGEROUS WHEN ACCELERATION WAS NEEDED 3. HAD TO CHANGE THE VALVE BODY AND SEALS IN THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER PROBLEM PERSISTED THE COMPUTER WAS FLASHED AND THEN THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. FROM WHAT I'VE READ. THE 04-06 NISSAN MAXIMA'S HAVE ALL HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND THE PROBLEM TENDS TO RE-APPEAR. NOW I'M OUT $2,000 AND MAY HAVE TO FIX AGAIN IN 50K MILES. *TR

TRANSMISSION DEFECT/FAILURE. *TR

I LEASED A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA AND FELL IN LOVE WITH THE CAR SO MUCH THAT I PURCHASED THE CAR WHEN THE LEASE WAS UP. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, I BEGAN SMELLING BURNED OIL. I ALSO NOTICED THE CAR BEGAN TO JERK REALLY HARD GOING FROM PARK TO DRIVE AND GOING FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS GOING BAD AND THEY WERE GOING TO REPLACE IT. THE CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 44K MILES ON IT AT THIS POINT. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION WITH A REMANUFACTURED ONE. THE CAR WAS FINED BUT SEEMED NOT TO HAVE THE SAME POWER. ANYHOW, THREE MONTHS IN TO HAVING THE REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION I NOTICED THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO THE DRIVING GEAR. THE CAR WOULD ONLY MOVE IN REVERSE. THE CAR ONLY HAS 46,524 MILES ON IT. *TW

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS. PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, FOLLOWED BY AN UNINTENDED LUNGE AND FORCEFUL ACCELERATION. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTING IN THE FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD GEARS. THE DRIVER PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THIS TIME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000. UPDATED 03/04/10. *LJ THE CONSUMER ALSO COMPLAINED THAT WHEN ACCELERATING, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD JERK. THE DEALER FOUND INTERNAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS BURNED. ALSO THE FRONT AND REAR ENGINE MOUNTS WERE BROKEN. THE CONSUMER HAD AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE SHIFTING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. 08/11/10. *JB

2005 NISSAN MAXIMA THE TRANSMISSION HAS HARD JERKY SHIFTS BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD (SLAMMING INTO GEAR). ALSO THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS OUT OF GEAR OCCASIONALLY DURING REGULAR DRIVING ALLOWING THE ENGINE TO REV FREELY THEN JERKING BACK INTO GEAR. THIS CAN CAUSE SUDDEN ACCELERATION OR TORQUE STEER. I'M VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS CAR WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR NOW HAS A BURNT OIL TYPE SMELL. (I KNOW THIS IS NOT GOOD). I JUST HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLUSHED AND NEW FLUID PUT IN FOUR MONTHS AGO. WE NOW HAVE 70,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

I HAVE A TRANSMISSION ISSUE WITH MY 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA. I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN APRIL 2009 WITH A LITTLE OVER 36K MILES. AS OF DECEMBER 28, 2009 MY CAR HAS 56K MILES. CAR HAS REALLY BAD JERKING MOTION UP SHIFTING AND DOWN SHIFTING BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEARS EVERY DAY. THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. BROUGHT MAXIMA TO NISSAN DEALER SHIP WHO SUGGESTS TO FLUSH TRANSMISSION AND CHANGE MOTOR MOUNTS WHICH SEEM TO BE A WASTE OF MONEY AND NOT CORRECTING THE REAL PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS WORKING FOR ABOUT 10 TO 15 MINUTES IT START TO CHANGE GEARS ROUGH AND ALSO SLIPPAGE ALSO OCCUR THE VEHICLE IS MY CAR PORT I CAN'T AFFORD THE REPAIRS BECAUSE THEY WILL BE AROUND 3,500. *TR

I WHEN THE A TRANSMISSION SHOP AND HAD EVERYTHING CHECKED AND THEY CHANGED MY TRANSMISSION OIL, BUT AFTER ABOUT 2 WEEKS THE SLIPPING STARTED AGAIN. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH 04-06 NISSAN MAXIMAS. THERE ARE A LOT PEOPLE HAVING ENGINE SLIPS WITH THIS CAR. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA SE(AT TRANSMISSION) THAT I BOUGHT BRAND NEW IN 05 I HAVE ABOUT 55K MILES ON IT AND IT IS STARTING TO SHOW SOME TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. WHEN IT IS SHIFTING 1ST TO 2ND GEAR IT HAS A VERY BAD JERK IN TO GEAR AND THE SAME WHEN I SLOW DOWN AND IT DOWN SHIFT FROM 2ND TO 1ST GEAR. AND ALSO WHEN IT IS SHIFTING FORM 3RD TO 4TH OR 4TH TO 5TH SOME TIMES IT DELAYS AND MY CAR GOES INTO NEUTRAL FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS THEN IT SHIFTS REALLY HARD INTO GEAR WITH THAT SAME JERK I HAVE SHIFTING FROM FIRST TO SECOND. ALSO MY CAR SOMETIMES GET STUCK IN 5TH GEAR WHEN IM ON THE FREE WAY, I KNOW THIS BECAUSE AFTER I SLOW DOWN ACCORDING TO TRAFFIC AND THEN ACCELERATE TO GO WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC I HAVE NO ACCELERATING POWER(THIS PROBLEM DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT IT DOES HAPPEN AND HOW I GET MY CAR BACK TO FIRST GEAR IS I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART MY CAR). I TRIED TAKING MY CAR THE A LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT THEY FIRST SUGGEST GETTING A TRANSMISSION OIL CHANGE AND FLUSH. THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AT ALL. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AFTER I GOT MY TRANSMISSION OIL CHANGE DONE. AND NOW THEY ARE SUGGESTING ME TO GET A NEW TRANSMISSION FOR 3000 TO 4000. AND I PERSONALLY CAN NOT AFFORD THAT. PLEASE HAVE A RECALL ON THE 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA SE I HAVE READ MANY NISSAN FORUMS AND MANY NISSAN CUSTOMER HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AN COMPLAINT.

I CURRENTLY HAVE A 2005 MAXIMA WITH ONLY 75,00 MILES. THE CAR JERKS BACK WHEN IT SHIFTS GEARS. IT HAS CAUSED ME TO PULLOVER AND RESTART MY CAR EVERYTIME. THERE HAS BEEN THOUSANDS OF NISSAN MAXIMA OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE AROUND THE 50,000 TO 100,000 MILE RANGE. THERE IS DEFINITELY A DEFECT ON THIS VEHICLE. I HAD TRANSMISSION/ MOTOR MOUNTS REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION MOVED FROM SIDE TO SIDE THAT IT BROKE ALL THE MOUNTS. I HAVE GOTTEN MULTIPLE WHIPLASHES AND CONTINUE WITH BACK PAIN. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP ON 12/7/2009 AND THEY OF COURSE SAID THAT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. THEY SAID IT IS COMMON ON THESE VEHICLES. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP RUNNING AND NOW THEY'RE SAYING THAT IT IS NOT RUNNING. *TR

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

PROBLEM WITH NISSAM MAXIMA 2004 TRANSMISSION JERKING WHEN PUT IN GEAR OR SHIFTING FORM 1ST -2ND. *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

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

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

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

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.

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
