2006 Nissan Maxima complaints

MY 06 MAXIMA TRANSMISSION STARTS SLIPPING AROUND 62,000. WHEN ITS GOING UP SHIFT AROUND 20-30 MPH IT STARTS TO JERK REALLY HARD. AND ALSO WHEN IM SLOWING DOWN. *TR

MY 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA SL'S TRANSMISSIONS JERKS VERY HARD INTO GEAR AFTER A SLOW DOWN OR WHEN PUT IN REVERSE. AS SOON AS I ENTER AN EXPRESSWAY RAMP, MY CAR JERK SO HARD INTO GEAR THAT I ALMOST LOST CONTROL AND WENT OFF THE RAMP. I TOOK MY CAR TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THAT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION EVEN THOUGH I ONLY HAVE 82000 MILES ON MY CAR. ( I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED 100,000 MILE WARRANTY FROM NISSAN WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR).THAT DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT IT FROM. WHEN I TOOK IT THERE, THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM THAT I DESCRIBED. I KNOW THAT I'M NOT CRAZY AND I HAVE READ OF NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME KIND.BOTTOM LINE IS MY TRANSMISSION WAS NOT FIXED BY NISSAN AND I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. *TR

I OWN A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA AND THE TRANSMISSION JERKS BETWEEN GEARS, AND SLIPS IT HAS 80K MILES ON IT. I THINK NISSAN SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM. AND THAT I SEE THE COMPLAINTS IM NOT THE ONLY ONE. PLEASE HELP! *TR

2006 NISSAN MAXIMA: ABS ACTIVATES WITH NORMAL BRAKING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND IT IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT ON NISSAN'S PART. HOWEVER, THE RECALL HAS NEVER BEEN ISSUED, AND NISSAN CHARGES THOUSANDS OF $ FOR THE REPAIRS IF THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF 36,000 MILES WARRANTY. THE SERVICE BULLETIN HAS BEEN ISSUED IN JULY 2007, REFERENCE NTB07-016B. *TR

I OWN A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA THAT NOW HAS 84,000 MILES. AROUND 80K THE CAR STARTING MAKING SEVERE JERKING MOVES WHEN CHANGING INTO AND FROM LOWER GEARS (1ST TO 2ND, 2ND TO 3RD). THIS HAS TO BE DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE RPM WILL SURGE AND THE CAR WILL MOVE FORWARD AND SLIP OUT OF GEAR. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS BLOGS AND NISSAN HELP BLOGS OF OWNERS THAT HAVE MAXIMA'S BETWEEN 2004-2006 ALL COMPLAINING OF THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM! I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO MULTIPLE NISSAN DEALERSHIPS AND HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGED TWICE! THE CAR IMPROVED FOR A SHORT TIME BUT IS NOW DOING THE SAME THING. PLEASE DO SOMETHING AND MAKE NISSAN REVIEW THIS VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR MUCH WORSE. NISSAN CORPORATE IS SLOW TO RESPOND AND AWARE THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE AND HAS IN SOME CASES REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AND IN OTHERS DENIED A PROBLEM EXISTS. IT DEPENDS ON THE DEALERSHIP AND HOW GREAT OF AN ADVOCATE THEY WILL BE FOR YOU. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE HELP. THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE ONCE THIS CONDITION APPEARS. THANKS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE ALSO JERKED WHILE THE CONTACT SHIFTED GEARS. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED OR REPAIRED BUT THE CONTACT BELIEVED THE FAILURE TO BE WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 82,000.

I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW AND HAVE MAINTAINED THIS VEHICLE WITH 3K MILE OIL CHANGES AND REPLACED THE TIRES. IT HAS STARTED TO MAKE JERK WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1-2 GEAR OR 2-3 AND RECENTLY THE ENGINES REVS UP TO 4RPMS BUT DOES NOT GO ANY FASTER. UNFORTUNATELY MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY BUT FROM LOOKING AROUND OTHER BLOGS AND FORUMS IT LOOKS AS THIS IS QUITE A COMMON PROBLEM. THE ENGINE IS MAKING A NOISE AS IF IT IS RUNNING ON TURBO. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE IS NOT A RECALL THERE IS SO MANY ISSUES WITH THIS CAR ITS RIDICULOUS. THIS IS THE FIRST BRAND NEW CAR I HAVE PURCHASED AND I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW MANY ISSUES IT HAS.

MY 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING A SLIP IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE OTHER DAY I TRIED TO CROSS A STREET AND IT SLIPPED ALMOST CAUSING A CRASH WITH A SEMI TRUCK THAT COULD NOT HAVE STOPPED IN TIME. IT FINALLY CAUGHT BUT WAS A CLOSE CALL. NISSAN HAS DONE NOTHING TO ADMIT OR ADDRESS THE ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND I HAVE READ MANY SIMILAR STORIES ONLINE. WHAT CAN BE DONE TO HOLD NISSAN RESPONSIBLE. THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME TYPE OF PRESS COVERAGE. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE ANYTHING IS DONE. *TR

I HAVE JUST PURCHASED A 2006 MAXIMA THAT HAS A TERRIBLE PROBLEM SOMEWHERE IN THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN I'M DRIVING I CAN FEEL THE CAR SLIP OUT OF GEAR AND CAUSE IT TO VIOLENTLY JERK LIKE A REAR END COLLISION EXCEPT THERE IS NOT ONE. I DON'T HAVE ANY LIGHTS ON TO DETECT A PROBLEM BUT I HAVE SEEN ONLINE THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I DO NOT WANT TO BE THE NEXT ONE DEAD ON THE INTERSTATE BECAUSE OF A FAULTY TRANSMISSION. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE I THOUGHT NISSAN MADE QUALITY CARS AND CARED ABOUT THEIR BUYERS BUT NOW I'VE SEEN THAT SO FAR NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THIS. WITHOUT A LIGHT DETECTING THIS PROBLEM A LOT OF SERVICE PEOPLE ARE UNABLE TO FIND THE CAUSE. I CARE ABOUT MY FAMILY AND NOW WILL HAVE NO OTHER WAY TO WORK BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. *TR

THE POWER TRAIN MANUAL TRANSMISSION HAS A DEFECT THAT CAUSES IT TO GO OUT. I HAVE ALREADY BEEN TOLD ITS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT BUT THE COMPANY REFUSES TO PAY FOR MY REPAIRS BECAUSE ITS AFTER MY WARRANTY. I THINK THAT IF THE MADE A FAULTY PRODUCT THEY SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. NOT THE CONSUMER. I WILL SUPPLY MY VIN NUMBER BUT AFTER I AM CONTACTED. THANK YOU. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK IN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR. IT ALSO EMITTED SMOKE INTO THE VEHICLE. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT AT THE DEALER. THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 126,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

TRANSMISSION ON MY 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA CAUSES THE CAR TO JERK WHEN CHANGING GEARS. THERE IS A HARD JERK WHEN SHIFTING DOWN. CAR DOES NOT CHANGE IMMEDIATELY FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. TAKES ABOUT 5 SECONDS TO GET INTO DRIVE AND IT CAUSES AN EXTREMELY HARD JERK WHEN SHIFTING INTO DRIVE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH AND SWITCHING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR, THE GEAR SHIFT JUMPED AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS HIT FROM THE REAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO PRODUCE ANY FAILURE CODES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER DEALER WHO ALSO COULD PROVIDE NO ERROR CODES. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 84,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 87,000.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTING REAL HARD IN 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. *TR

OUR 2006 MAXIMA STARTED HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AT ABOUT 80,000 MILES. WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR, THERE IS A PAUSE WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND THEN A VIOLENT JERK. THIS IS A SEVERE AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM. NISSAN NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS FIX. *TR

2006 NISSAN MAXIMA WITH 79,000 MILES STARTING TO HAVE MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN ACCELERATING, AROUND 20-35 MPG, THE ENGINE REVS HIGH RPM AND ACCELERATION SLOWS, AND THEN SUDDENLY JERKS INTO THE NEXT GEAR, SOMETIMES SLIGHTLY LURCHING FORWARD WHEN THIS HAPPENS. WHEN DECELERATING SOMETHING SIMILAR HAPPENS, THE CAR WILL REV HIGH RPMS AND THEN BANG OR JERK INTO THE NEXT GEAR. IT SEEMS TO BE MUCH WORSE WHEN ACCELERATING AND APPEARS THAT IT IS HAPPENING WHEN CHANGING FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE IN OFFICIAL SITES AND USER FORUM SITES. THIS SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THAT IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY NISSAN. IN THREE DAYS I AM TAKING IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I WILL HAVE TO PAY $96 TO HAVE A DIAGNOSIS PERFORMED. NISSAN SHOULD EITHER RECALL VEHICLES WITH THIS TRANSMISSION, OR EXTEND THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY TO COVER REPAIRS WHEN MORE PEOPLE START HAVING THIS PROBLEM. WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND LOSING ACCELERATION, THIS COULD BE AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR

I OWN A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE CAR STARTED SHIFTING HARD WHEN GOING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR AND 2ND TO 3RD. IT ALSO HAS SIGNIFICANT JERKING WHEN DOWNSHIFTING OR TRYING TO GO TO THE NEXT GEAR. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AS THE ENGINE RPM'S REV AS WELL. THE CAR IS BUCKING WHEN I PULL OUT ONTO A ROAD AND THE GEAR FEELS LIKE IT'S NOT CATCHING SO I'M AFRAID WITH THAT HESITATION THAT SOMEONE WILL HIT ME FROM BEHIND. A FEW TIMES I FELT LIKE I HAD GOTTEN WHIPLASH IT WAS JERKING SO BADLY. ALSO, DRIVING IN REVERSE OR EVEN BRAKING (SLOWING DOWN) THE CAR JERKS AND SOUNDS AND FEELS AS THOUGH I'M BEING HIT FROM BEHIND. THE CAR IS JERKING WHEN ACCELERATING. THE CAR STALLS THEN SURGES FORWARD. *TR

A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, I STARTED TO NOTICE THAT MY 2006 MAXIMA (75,000 MILES) WAS SHIFTING HARD (JERKING WITH A SLIGHT DELAY PRIOR) IN LOW GEARS, ESPECIALLY 1ST TO 2ND. THE PROBLEM ALSO OCCURRED WHEN PUTTING THE CAR INTO DRIVE FROM REVERSE. IT OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 75% OF THE TIME, BUT I COULDN'T FIND A DEFINITE PATTERN (CAR WAS COLD OR WARM.) I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO RECOMMENDED THE TRANSMISSION BE REPLACED AND IT IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP GETTING A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT IT'S A FAULTY CASE BUSHING IN THE CENTER SUPPORT AND EVEN WITH A NEW TRANSMISSION USING THE SAME FAULTY PART, THE PROBLEM WILL ARISE AGAIN. I CONTACTED A LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER. HE STATED NISSAN DID EXTEND A TRANSMISSION WARRANTY ON SOME CARS TO 120,000, BUT MINE WAS NOT PART OF THAT RECALL. IF IT'S A PRODUCT DEFECT, NO CURRENT REMEDY WILL PERMANENTLY FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

MY 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA TRANSMISSION STARTS SLIPPING AROUND 75,000 MILES. WHEN DRIVING AND IT IS SWITCHING GEARS AROUND 20-30 MPH IT STARTS TO JERK REALLY HARD. AND ALSO DOES THE SAME WHEN SLOWING DOWN. *TR

OWN A 2006 NISSA MAXIMA. SERVICED MONTHLY AND NOW BEGINNING TO HAVE MAJOR, DANGEROUS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. HARD, JERKING TRANSMISSION SHIFTS WHILE ACCELERATING OR SLOWING DOWN. TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIR AND AUTO TRANSMISSION SHOP COULD NOT GET ANY READS ON PROBLEM THROUGH DIAGNOSTICS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD NISSAN DEALERSHIP WILL REPLACE TRANSMISSION FOR EST. $3500. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH MAXIMAS AS I HAVE SEEN MANY, MANY ON-LINE COMPLAINTS. IT IS A DEFECT AND SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. I WILL PURSUE TO GET THIS FIXED BY NISSAN AT NO COST AS IT IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE JERKING DOES ACTUALLY MAKE PEOPLE IN THE CAR HAVE SEVERE, QUICK UNEXPECTED BODY JERKS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. THANK YOU. *TR

UNINTENDED ACCELERATION 3 TIMES, EACH MORE VIOLENT THEN THE FIRST TIME, OF A NEW 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA, ONLY 26,000 MILES ON IT, THIS IS THE 3RD. TIME IT HAS HAPPENED, ON SEPT. 18, KAHULUI, MAUI. TERRIFYING, I COULD NOT STOP THE CAR AT THE STOP SIGN OF INTERSECTION, THIS WAS THE WORSE OF THE PAST TWO ACCELERATIONS THAT I HAD WITH THIS CAR. MY HUSBAND WAS WITH ME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR. IT TOOK OFF LIKE A "RACE CAR" I COULD NOT BREAK IT OR STOP CAR FROM GOING. HAD TO PULL THE KEYS OUT AND PUT IN NEUTRAL, THEN REVERSE TO GET IT TO STOP.! TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, JIMFALK, THE SERVICE DEPT. COULD NOT FIND WHAT IS WRONG, KEPT CAR FOR A WEEK, DRIVING IT TO "RECREATE" THE PROBLEM, BUT IT SEEMS TO DO IT AFTER SO MANY MONTHS, NOT BACK TO BACK, SOMETHING TRIGGERS IT OFF IT SEEMS. WE ARE STUCK WITH HIS CAR NOW, IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE, AS THE PROBLEM CANNOT BE FOUND. NISSAN SENT A INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATOR TO MAUI TO CHECK THE CAR OUT, NISSAN HEADQUARTERS IN TENNESSEE SAID IT WILL TAKE 6-8 WEEKS TO GET A ANSWER BACK TO US, MEANWHILE WE ARE STUCK NOW WITH A RENTAL CAR BILL AS OUR WARRANTY ONLYCOVERS A LOANER IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CARS TO BE "FIXED" AND SO FAR, THE PROBLEM ANNOTE BE FOUND, SO WE ARE UP THE CREEK SO TO SPEAK AND TECHNICALLY HAVE TO WAIT FOR ANOTHER "ACCELERATION" TO TAKE PLACE IN WHICH EVENT WE COULD BE KILLED. WHAT CAN WE DO? WE HAVE RIGHTS! SOME ONE MUST BE ABLE TO FIND THIS DEATH FEATURE IN OUR CAR! HELP! *TR

1.ON MAY 17, 2010 , I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT IN MY 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA WHERE SOMEONE HAD REAR ENDED ME VERY HARD. AFTER GETTING THE CAR BACK FROM THE BODY SHOP.I NOTICED THAT WHEN SHIFTING GEARS THE CAR STALLS AND JERKS VIOLENTLY. ALSO WHEN DRIVING THE TRANSMISSION STARTS TO SLIP , MEANING I AM PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL BUT THE CAR ISN'T GOING ANYWHERE , THEN IT KICKS BACK IN PLACE CAUSING THE CAR TO JERK EXTREMELY RUFF. 2. THIS PROBLEM SO VADEN NISSAN SAY THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING BAD AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT I HAVE ON THE VEHICLE , BASICALLY THE WON'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL A SERVICE LIGHT OR CODE SHOWS UP, WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY. IT OCCURS EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. IT SEEM TO WHEN THE CAR WARMS UP IT BEGINS TO HAPPEN. 3. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO VADEN NISSAN FOUR TIMES WITHIN A 3 MONTH PERIOD. FIRST THEY TOPPED OF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, SECOND TIME THE REPLACED THE MOTOR MOUNTS, THIRD TIME THEY REPLACED THE STARTER AND THE FOURTH TIME, THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME I HAD TO KEEP DRIVING IT UNTIL A SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON . 3. *TR

2006 NISSAN MAXIMA, BAD ABS SENSOR (DUE TO WATER INTRUSION) ON RIGHT REAR WHEEL CAUSING ABS TO KICK ON WHEN NOT NECESSARY. I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW AND HAVE ALWAYS DONE ALL THE RECOMMENDED CHECKS UP. MY VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 53,000 AND AFTER A PRICE OF 3,000 TO CORRECT THE ISSUE IN WHICH NISSAN ALREADY KNOWS ABOUT! *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2006 MAXIMA IN NOVEMBER 2007 AND I HAD NO PROBLEMS IN THE BEGINNING. THEN WHILE TRYING TO PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE IT STARTED HESITATING. THIS LASTED FOR A FEW MOVES, THEN I NOTICED THE CAR JERKING. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING I DID, BUT IT CONTINUED TO DO FROM TIME TO TIME. I WENT AND GOT MY TRANSMISSION FLUSHED THINKING THAT WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORST, NOT I HAVE SLOW DONE IN TRAFFIC IF A CAR IN FRONT OF ME IS TURNING AND WHEN I ACCELERATE AGAIN IT WILL DO A HEAVY JERK. I HAVE TWO OTHER FRIENDS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I TOLD THE DEALER HOW IS THIS SO THIS IS A NISSAN. HE EXPLAINED THAT THEY ALL GO BAD LIKE THAT. I TOLD HIM THAT I ALSO HAVE A 1994 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH 300,00 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS A MANUFACTURES PROBLEMS AND THE WAY THE CAR JERKS IT MAY ONE DAY CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THIS IS NO WAY HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE CAN HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS AND IT NOT BECOME A MANUFACTURE PROBLEM. *TR

I PURCHASED MY CAR IN JUNE, 2010 AND IN JULY I NOTICED WHEN I SHIFT MY GEARS IT HAS A JERK TO IT, ALSO I NOTICED THE CLUTCH WILL GO ALL THE WAY DOWN AND WANT COME UP. CAUSING ME TO PULL OVER OUT OF TRAFFIC CUT THE CAR OFF PUT IT IN GEAR AND THEN START THE CAR UP AND TAKE OFF! I THOUGHT I WOULD LOVE NISSAN, THIS IS MY 1ST AND LAST NISSAN CAR THAT I WILL PURCHASE I HAVE 3 KIDS AND I AM ALMOST SCARED TO DRIVE THEM AROUND IN MY CAR. THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP AT LEAST 5 TIMES WITHIN THE 3 MONTHS THAT I HAVE HAD IT. IT WAS IN THE SHOP FOR 2 WEEKS THE LAST TIME, I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON BUT I DO KNOW THAT I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A NISSAN VEHICLE ANYMORE, AND I WILL ADVISE MY FRIEND'S AND FAMILY TO DO THE SAME. I HATE IT WHEN MY FAMILY TELLS ME THAT I HAVE PURCHASED A LEMON! THAT'S EMBARRASSING. I HAVE A 3 MONTH OLD CAR THAT JERKS FOR NO REASON, AND THE CLUTCH ACTS UP. *TR

I OWN A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE CAR STARTED SHIFTING HARD WHEN GOING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR AND 2ND TO 3RD. IT ALSO HAS SIGNIFICANT JERKING WHEN DOWNSHIFTING OR TRYING TO GO TO THE NEXT GEAR. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AS THE ENGINE RPM'S REV AS WELL. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT MY TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS A LITTLE DIRTY BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY TRANSMISSION. THEY DID A TRANSMISSION FLUSH AND IT DID NOT HELP AT ALL. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK 3 WEEKS LATER BECAUSE THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THEY NOW ARE SAYING I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION WHEN JUST 3 WEEKS AGO THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I SAID YOU HOW COME YOU COULDN'T TELL ME THAT 3 WEEKS AGO. NOW MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT HAS GONE OFF AND I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSIONS ON THIS CAR. I WENT ONLINE TO CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS OF CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS UNDER CONSUMER AFFAIRS. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL? THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO END UP GETTING HURT. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR THE COMPANY TO DO A RECALL? I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS. WHEN THEY CALLED ME BACK THEY SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THEY SAID IT IS UP TO NHTSA TO ISSUE A RECALL. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT NISSAN USA CANNOT TO ANYTHING TO HELP THE CUSTOMERS. PLEASE TAKE A FEW MINUTES AND SIGN ON TO CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND SEE HOW MANY CUSTOMERS HAVE FI

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 30 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN JERKING ABNORMALLY WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT. THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHIN SECONDS. IN ADDITION, WHEN SHIFTING INTO REVERSE, THE VEHICLE WOULD EXHIBIT THE SAME FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR FACILITY FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MECHANIC DISCOVERED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE DEALER ADVISED REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER ADVISED THAT TRANSMISSION FAILURES WERE COMMON IN HIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000.

I WAS DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. I WAS AT A STOP. AS TRAFFIC BEGAN TO MOVE AGAIN MY CAR JERKED AND SPED UP FAST COULD NOT STOP WITH BREAKS HIT CAR IN FRONT OF ME. MY CAR JERKS EVERY TIME TRANSMISSION GETS HOT. NOTIFIED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS, WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE NOT ENOUGH COMPLAINTS TO SAY THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN THE 2006 MAXIMAS. SO NOTHING WAS DONE. I'VE TAKEN MY CAR TO 2 DIFFERENT TRANSMISSION SHOPS THEY SAY THAT EVERY MAXIMA 2006 THEY LOOKED AT IS HAVING SAME PROBLEM. *TR

THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 MAXIMA SE. IN LATE AUGUST 2010, THE ABS BRAKES ACTIVATED WITHOUT WARNING. WE IMMEDIATELY STOPPED DRIVING IT AND BROUGHT IT TO A GARAGE FOR REPAIR. THEY CLEANED OFF A BIT OF RUST FROM THE REAR WHEEL HUBS. IT SEEMED TO HELP BUT THE ABS STILL WENT ON DURING NORMAL SUMMER BREAKING CONDITIONS. THE GARAGE SAW A BULLETIN FROM NISSAN REGARDING THE PROBLEM AND TOLD US THAT ADDITIONAL REPAIRS NEEDED TO BE DONE BY THE NISSAN DEALER. WE BROUGHT IT TO A NISSAN DEALER. THEY INSPECTED THE CAR AND TOLD US THAT REPAIRS WOULD BE AROUND $800 TO REPLACE THE SENSORS AND IF THAT DID NOT WORK, THE ANTILOCK ACTUATOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED, WHICH WOULD COST ABOUT $1500-2000. THE CAR HAS ABOUT 60,885 MILES ON THE CAR. WE ALSO OWN ANOTHER MAXIMA. IT IS A 1998 MAXIMA WITH OVER 160,000 MILES. ON THAT OLDER MAXIMA, WE HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE ANTILOCK BRAKES. WE CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY TOLD US THAT THIS NORMAL AND THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIRS SINCE THE CAR WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE SHIFTED FIRST TO SECOND GEAR WITH AN ABNORMALLY VIOLENT JERK. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO RECUR INTERMITTENTLY WHILE SHIFTING FROM FIRST AND SECOND GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS FLUSHED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO RECUR INTERMITTENTLY AND THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY WERE IN THE PROCESS OF DIAGNOSING THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A USED 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA WITH 78K MILES. CAR HAS BEEN BEAUTIFULLY MAINTAINED BUT ALMOST IMMEDIATELY BEGAN NOTICING HARD SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR AND 2ND TO 3RD AND EVEN SIGNIFICANT JERKING WHEN DOWNSHIFTING. TRANNY SLIPS AS ENGINE RPM'S REV AS WELL. THIS CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT CAN NOT BE COUNTED ON TO DELIVER POWER OR SPEED TO THE WHEELS WHEN NEEDED AND WILL DEFINITELY BE A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN IN WET OR ICY CONDITIONS DUE TO TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND DISCOVERED MANY OTHER OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL BY NISSAN AS THIS IS MOST CERTAINLY A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT WILL EVENTUALLY CLAIM INNOCENT LIVES. *TR

2006 NISSAN MAXIMA WITH TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. 1 TO 2 GEAR AND 2 TO 3 GEAR SHIFTS ABRUPTLY, SLIPS, JERKS, ON BOTH UPSHIFTS AND DOWNSHIFTS. TRANSMISSION BANGS FROM 1ST TO 2ND AND THE CAR HESITATES OFF THE LINE. OFF THE LINE, THE CAR REVS FREELY BEFORE IT'S ABLE TO CATCH A GEAR YOU GET A WHIPLASH SENSATION BETWEEN SHIFTS. COMING TO A STOP AT A SIGNAL THE 3RD TO 2ND AND 2ND TO 1ST GEAR DOWNSHIFTS ARE EXTREMELY HARSH ACCOMPANIED BY A LOUD BANG. WHEN SHIFTING FROM R TO D, THERE IS A FEW SECONDS DELAY BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION GOES INTO GEAR WITH A LOUD BANG. THIS ALL HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS WARMED UP WITH AT LEAST 15-20MIN. DRIVING TIME. *TR

2006 MAXIMA WITH APPROX. 68K MILES. CAR STARTED TO JERK AND MAKE A LOUD NOISE WHEN SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE AND REVERSE TO DRIVE. CAR BEGAN TO STALL AND SURGE FORWARD. CAR NOW JERKS ON MANY GEARS AND GETS STUCK ON SOME. I STOPPED DRIVING IT WHEN THE RPM'S SHOT UP AND THE CAR TOOK A WHILE TO KICK INTO GEAR WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM A GAME. 1 WEEK LATER I HESITANTLY DECIDE TO TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC WHO SAYS THAT HE HAS NOTICED THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE ON A LOT OF 04 AND 06 MAXIMAS. THE PART ITSELF NEEDED TO BE BOUGHT FROM NISSAN AND COST $1,000. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS DEFECT SO THAT IT CAN BECOME A RECALL. *TR

2006 NISSAN MAXIMA SE . I HAVE HAD ABS PROBLEMS FOR 7 MONTHS. THE FIRST TIME THE NISSAN DEALER JUST CLEANED THE RR WHEEL SENSOR AND SAID THAT WOULD DO THE JOB. IT WORKED FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS. NOW I JUST HAD THE TSB PERFORMED TO CORRECT THE DESIGN FLAW OF NISSAN ON THE RR WHEEL SENSOR. AFTER THE TSB WAS PERFORMED THE DEALER CAME TO NOTICE THAT THE ABS ACTUATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I AM STILL WAITING ON THAT JOB TO BE PERFORMED. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY NISSAN MAXIMAS FROM THE 2006 GENERATION. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THE CAR BECAUSE SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T SEEM AS IF IT IS GOING TO STOP. I HAVE ALMOST HIT 2 CARS BECAUSE OF THIS DESIGN FLAW. *TR

2006 REGULARLY MAINTAINED NISSAN MAXIMA WITH A LITTLE UNDER 81K MILES STARTED JERKING AND MAKING A LOUD NOISE WHEN SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE AND REVERSE TO DRIVE. SHORTLY AFTER NOTICED THAT WHEN ACCELERATING CAR HESITATES THEN SURGES FORWARD. THIS HAPPENED ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK, WITHIN 2 WEEKS STARTED TO OCCUR MORE FREQUENTLY AND NOW WHENEVER CAR SHIFTS 1ST TO 2ND GEAR AND VICE VERSA. TOOK CAR TO MECHANIC WHO ADVISED TRANSMISSION IS DETERIORATING AND NEEDS TO BE REBUILT. ACCORDING TO MECHANIC AND INTERNET, THIS IS A COMMON MALFUNCTION WITH NISSAN TRANSMISSIONS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 25 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ABNORMALLY JERK INTO THE NEXT LOWEST GEAR. THE CONTACT STATED THE FAILURE WOULD ALSO OCCUR WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN NEED OF A NEW OXYGEN SENSOR AND A TURBINE REVOLUTION SENSOR.

PURCHASED 2006 MAXIMA FROM ALABAMA NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN 2008. WELL MAINTAINED. CURRENT OIL CHANGES , TIRE ROTATIONS AND CHANGES, ALWAYS USED PREMIUM FUEL. RAN GREAT. UNTIL!!!!!!! IN 2010 NOTICED I COULD FEEL GEARS SHIFTING. TOOK IT TO MECHANIC AND HE ADVISED ME THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR YEAR DUE TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND THAT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. NOW 8/2010 IT SHIFTS HARD FROM 1ST TO SECOND AND BACK FROM SECOND TO FIRST. THIS MAKES ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION EXTREMELY UNSAFE. SURPRISED TO SEE SO MANY COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MINE AND NISSAN NOT FIXING IT. CAR ONLY HAS 75,000 MILES AND IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.. I AM A SINGLE MOM AND ALWAYS HAVE CHILDREN IN MY VEHICLE. I AM CONTACTING AN ATTORNEY AND TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND IF NO RECOURSE I PRAY NO ONE GETS HURT.. INCLUDING ME CAUSE I CAN SEE WHAT HAPPENED WITH TOYOTA AND I REALLY WOULD HATE FOR IT TO HAPPEN WITH NISSAN. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA AS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. RECENTLY, IT STARTED HAVING SOME PROBLEMS (AT APPROXIMATELY 60,000 MILES). WHEN I CHANGE GEARS FROM PARK TO REVERSE, FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE, OR WHEN ACCELERATING FROM 1ST GEAR TO 2ND GEAR THERE IS A HARD JERKING. SOMETIMES IT WILL TAKE A FEW SECONDS TO CHANGE GEARS AND MY RPM'S GO UP. IT HAS DIED ON ME AT A STOP LIGHT. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR A DIAGNOSIS, AND THEY SAID I NEEDED A TRANSMISSION FLUSH. I HAD THE FLUSH DONE, AND THE PROBLEM WAS STILL PRESENT. THE PROBLEM HAS BECOME WORSE. I HAVE READ ABOUT THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM ON NUMEROUS WEBSITES. I HAVE SPENT COUNTLESS HOURS RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, AND HAVE COME UP WITH THE SAME CONCLUSION...I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM!!!! PLEASE, LET'S WORK ON GETTING A RECALL INTO EFFECT FROM NISSAN. IT'S ONLY RIGHT! *TR

TRANSMISSION SHIFT DELAY FROM PARK TO DRIVE OR REVERSE, TRANSMISSION SLIP DURING ACCELERATION AS IF IN NEUTRAL THEN CATCHES AND JERKS. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT A NISSAN MAXIMA 2006 IT IS A REALLY NICE CAR, BUT I DID START NOTICING THAT THE SHIFTING OF GEARS SPECIALLY FROM 1ST TO 2ND AND 2ND TO 3RD JERKS, IT'S BEING LIKE THAT LATELY, TODAY WHEN ENTERING A BUSY STREET WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR, THE TRANSMISSION SLEEPS AND DID NOT MOVE , A TRUCK ALMOST HIT THE CAR, WE STAY PARKED ON THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD FOR 2 OR 3 SECONDS UNTIL THE CAR MOVE AGAIN, BUT THOSE 2 OR 3 SECONDS CAN COST MY HOLD FAMILY LIVES. I DID START SEARCHING FOR THIS CAR DEFECTS AND IT LOOKS LIKE A VERY COMMON ISSUE, A DEFECT FROM THE FACTORY AND NISSAN AND THE GOVERNMENT DON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. SHAME ON NISSAN AND THE RESPONSIBLE PARTY FOR MAKING THIS BIG COMPANIES TO SALE SAFE AND GOOD QUALITY PRODUCTS, AND STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT FREE OF THIS TYPE OF DEFECTS, ACCORDING TO WHAT I DID FIND OUT, IT IS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM THAT IT MAY COST THOUSANDS, AND THE FACTORY KNOWING ABOUT IT, DON'T LIFT A FINGER. *TR

TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. TRANSMISSION SLIPPING. *TR

I OWN A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA WITH 89000 MILES ON IT. RECENTLY, THE CAR JERKS WHEN SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR. T\AT LOW SPEEDS, IT REVS TO 5000 RPM AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE AT STOPS. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, I FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE EXACT PROBLEMS WORD-FOR-WORD. SOME HAVE BEEN IN ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS UNCONTROLLABLE PROBLEM. OTHERS HAVE OPTED TO PARK THEIR VEHICLES DUE TO THE UNSAFE CONDITIONS. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT OFFERS NO RECALL OR ASSISTANCE. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA SE WITH 60,000 MILES FROM A DEALERSHIP HERE IN TUCSON, AZ. AFTER ABOUT 2 WEEKS, I STARTED TO NOTICE THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTING RATHER ROUGH. I ALSO NOTICED IT WAS "REVVING UP" ON ITS OWN WHEN I WOULD PUSH THE GAS, AND WHILE IT WAS TRYING TO SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR, OR FROM 2ND TO 3RD. I ALSO NOTICED A "JERKING" WHILE SHIFTING, WHETHER IT BE UPSHIFT, OR DOWNSHIFTING. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE COULD FIND ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I WENT ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS MYSELF, AND I WAS HORRIFIED! I CANNOT BELIEVE THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL. TOYOTA RECENTLY HAD A SIMILAR INCIDENCE WHERE THE GAS PEDAL WOULD PUSH DOWN, AND THE DRIVER WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO STOP AND WOULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS! THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THE MAXIMA. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT MUST TAKE A FATALITY, TO MAKE NISSAN DO THE RIGHT THING AND FIX THE PROBLEM BEFORE ANYONE IS HURT! *TR

VEHICLE CAME EQUIPPED WITH A FEATURE THAT ALLOWS THE SIDE MIRRORS TO TILT DOWN WHEN PLACED IN REVERSE. HOWEVER, WHEN THE FEATURE IS ACTIVATED FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR, THE MIRROR DOES NOT ADJUST PROPERLY BACK TO ITS NORMAL POSITION, WHICH MAY HINDER DRIVERS VIEW, POSSIBLY CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NISSAN WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE MIRROR WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER, THE REPLACED MIRROR BEGAN EXHIBITING SAME PROBLEM AS THE DEFECTIVE MIRROR.RETURNED VEHICLE BACK TO NISSAN TWICE AND THEY DETERMINED THAT IT WAS NORMAL. WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE ON HIGHWAY, PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR BEGAN ADJUSTING ON ITS OWN TO A POINT WHERE I COULD NOT SEE VEHICLES ALONGSIDE THE RIGHT OF THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE WAS NOT EVEN PLACED IN REVERSE! RETURNED VEHICLE BACK TO NISSAN, THEY DETERMINED THAT MIRROR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, BUT AT MY EXPENSE, BECAUSE WARRANTY EXPIRED, DESPITE THE FACT THAT I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TWICE FOR THIS PROBLEM WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

WE OWE A 2006 AUTOMATIC NISSAN MAXIMA WITH NOW APPROXIMATELY 112,000 MILES. WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE TRANSMISSION. THE CAR WILL JERK REALLY HARD WHEN TRYING TO SHIFT BETWEEN 2 AND 3; WHEN YOU ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE AND WHEN YOU COME TO A STOP. WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND HAD OTHER DIAGNOSTIC TEST PERFORMED. HOWEVER, WE WERE TOLD THAT THE ENTIRE MOTOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THEIR ARE NO ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. HOWEVER, WE TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER COMPANY WHO FOUND NO PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE. THIS CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED AS REQUIRED: THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN FLUSHED AND FILTERS REPLACED; SPARK PLUGS REPLACED, FUEL INJECTION FLUSHED, AND OIL FILTERS AND OIL CHANGED. AFTER GOING ON THE WEBSITE AND SEEING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE WITH OTHER NISSAN MAXIMAS, I'M FILING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE THEIR APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH NISSAN MAXIMA'S TRANSMISSIONS. THIS IS A VERY COSTLY EXPENSE AND ONE THAT I BELIEVE NISSAN NEEDS TO BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 MAXIMA TRANSMISSIONS. *TR

CAR BURNS APPROXIMATELY 1 LITRE PER 1500 KILOMETERS. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THIS IS BURNING WITHIN THEIR GUIDELINES. *TR
