2006 NISSAN MAXIMA Complaints

THE CAR STARTED TO JERK AND THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP. CAR WILL NOT MOVE NOW. IT SLAMS INTO GEAR. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, I HAD CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 80MPH. THERE WAS A STALLING/JERKING MOTION THAT TOOK PLACE. AFTER LOOKING OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I NOTICE IT WAS STILL ON CRUISE CONTROL BUT THE MPH HAD DROPPED A FEW MILES. ONCE CRUISE CONTROL WAS DISENGAGED, I NOTICED THE DIFFERENCE IN ACCELERATION. IT FELT LIKE MY CAR WAS STUCK IN THIRD OR FORTH GEAR. I HAD TO HOLD PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND WAIT AS IT PICKED UP SPEED. *TR

THE FLOOR BOARDS IN THIS 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA ARE BADLY ROTTED THROUGH. IT PROBABLY HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR QUITE SOME TIME. I SPOKE WITH THE NISSAN DEALER TODAY. THEY WANT $1200 TO PATCH THE FLOOR BOARDS. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING AND DESIGN. I BELIEVE THIS AND ALL CARS OF THIS MODEL AND YEAR SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED BY NISSAN. THERE ARE NUMEROUS POSTINGS ON THE INTERNET FOR THE SAME PROBLEM ON THIS AND OTHER NISSAN MODEL CARS OF THE SAME VINTAGE. NISSAN REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS DEFECT AND TAKE ANY ACTION. I NEED YOUR INTERVENTION. *JS

SAME ISSUE AS ANOTHER "TRANSMISSION DEFECT. I AM EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH MY 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE TRANSMISSION IN MY CAR IS SLIPPING. WHEN I AM DRIVING MANY TIMES THE ACCELERATION INCREASES THE RPM ABOVE 3, BEFORE IT CHANGES. THERE ARE OTHER INTERNET POSTINGS WITH THE SAME ISSUES THAT I HAVE. BASED ON THE INTERNET RESEARCH, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL. WHY ISN'T THE NISSAN CORPORATION BEING HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS?" *TR
