2005 NISSAN MAXIMA Complaints

MY 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA EXPERIENCES SHIFTING PROBLEMS FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR, IT SLAMS INTO GEAR, REVS THE RPM UP PAST 5, DOWNSHIFTS ON ITS OWN. DELAYS WHEN CHANGING GEARS AND THEM SLAMMED ITSELF INTO GEAR CAUSING CAR TO JERK FORWARD OR SLAMM TO A STOP. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR INTO SHOP SEVERAL TIMES WAS TOLD THAT IT IS A DEFECT IN THE TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY, TOOK CAR TO DEALER WITHOUT THEM EVEN TESTING CAR THEY SAID IT WAS THE MOTOR MOUNTS. THIS IS THE 4TH NISSAN I'VE OWNED NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS TYPE OF ISSUE. AFTER REVIEW OF OTHER COMPLAINTS THOUSANDS OF OTHER OWNERS ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM SOME WITH AS FEW AS 30,000.00 MILES THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL OF NISSAN. *TR

THIS VEHICLE ALONG WITH MANY 2004-2006 NISSAN MAXIMS HAVE A LOT OF TRANSMISSION ISSUES, MY CAR HAS SWITCHED GETS SO HARD I HD A MINOR WHIPLASH, THE RPMS RAISE SO HIGH THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP. THIS IS A BAD ISSUE THAT HAPPENS IT CAUSES MY VEHICLE TO JUMP FORWARD AFTER PRESSING ON THE GAS, AND I HAVE A 2 YR OLD DAUGHTER THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, HELP THE PEOPLE, SOMEONE GET OFF THEIR ASSESS AND HELP US. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA FROM PRIVATE OWNER LESS THAN A WEEK AGO. THE CAR HAD A HARD SHIFT WHEN PUT INTO DRIVE. THE LADY I BOUGHT FROM, TOLD ME THAT AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION IS WORKING PROPERLY AND IT NEEDS THE TRANSMISSION MOUNTS THATS ALL. SHE REPLACED ONE SIDE BUT DID NOT HAVE MONEY TO DO THE OTHER SIDE. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE ABOUT 1000 MILES BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING. I HAVE READ SO MANY COMPLAINS ONLINE ABOUT THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AND NISSAN WILL NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

FOR ABOUT SIX MONTHS, I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING MY TRANSMISSION SLIPPING/JERKING FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR WHEN I EITHER ACCELERATE OR DECELERATE AND ALSO WHEN I MOVE FROM PARK TO DRIVE, AND REVERSE. I, LIKE COUNTLESS OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE WAS TOLD IT WAS MY MOTOR MOUNTS AT FIRST. GOT THOSE FIXED AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED. TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID I NEED TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION ($4300). I AM SHOCKED TO SEE SO MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. THE JERKING IS VERY ABRUPT AND STARTLING. THERE IS A SERIOUS DELAY IN CHANGING GEARS AND SOMETIMES, THE CAR WON?T CATCH INTO DRIVE/RHYTHM WHICH CAUSES THE RPMS TO REV HIGHER THAN NORMAL. THIS IS DRAINING MY GAS MILEAGE AS WELL. I WAS TOLD BY ANOTHER MECHANIC THAT IT IS THE TRANSMISSION SELINOID AND VALVE THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED WHICH WOULD COST $1,500. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR THESE MODELS AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF VALUED NISSAN OWNERS WHO HAVE TO DRIVE THEIR CAR WITH UNEASINESS AND FEAR THAT THEIR TRANSMISSION WILL FAIL THEM WHILE ON THE ROAD, ENDANGERING THEMSELVES AND OTHERS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSIONS. THIS IS NOT FAIR TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE INVESTED INTO THESE CARS FOR RELIABILITY AND SAFETY. *JS

MY 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA STARTED SLIPPIN GEARS BETWEEN 2 AND 3RD DURING MODERATE ACCELERATION AND WHEN SLOWING DOWN, TOOK IT THE NISSAN DEALER, FOR THEM TO TELL ME IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION, I TOLD THEM ITS A KNOWN PROBLEM, HOWEVER THEY DO NOT WANT TO HELP ME OUT, $4400 FOR REPAIR. *TR

MY 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA SE GIVES DELAYED GEAR SHIFTS AND AS A RESULT A SIGNIFICANT JERK WHILE DRIVING. IT IS MAINLY WHEN DRIVING AT LOWER SPEEDS. I AM REPORTING AS THIS SHIFT ISSUE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA AND HAS BEEN REPORTED BY SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS. I HOPE NISSAN FIXES THIS KNOWN ISSUE WITH MY CAR.

I DRIVE THE CAR AND IT IS HARD TO SHIFT GEARS. WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE IT JERKS VERY HARD. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS SAID BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT IS NOT THE TRANSMISSION BUT INSTEAD IT WAS THE MOTOR MOUNTS THAT WERE THE PROBLEM. ONCE THE MOTOR MOUNT WAS FIXED, THE PROBLEM STILL PERSIST. I CALL THE DEALER BACK AND THEY HAVE YET TO GIVE ME A RESPONSE. WHEN DRIVING, IN BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR IT SHIFT TO THE 4TH OR 5TH GEAR CAUSING THE CAR TO JERK FORWARD IF SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. COMPLICATED SITUATION. *TR

LIKE SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE, MY 2005 NISSAN BEGAN SHIFTING ROUGHLY BETWEEN REVERSE AND DRIVE, THEN BETWEEN LOWER GEARS. IT WOULD SLIP OUT OF GEAR WHEN DRIVING, AND THE ENGINE WOULD REV UP TO ~3500RPM BEFORE SLAMMING BACK INTO GEAR. CLEARLY, I HAVE THE SAME BAD MAXIMA TRANSMISSION AS EVERYONE ELSE. THERE REALLY SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR
