2005 NISSAN MAXIMA Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THE FLOORBOARDS ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WERE COVERED WITH RUST. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

CAR BEGAN JERKING AND SKIPPING. LOST ALL CONTROL AND CAR COMPLETELY STALLED OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF 5 LANE TRAFFIC. REPAIRS WERE MADE AND CAR HAS BEGUN JERKING AGAIN. *TR

THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO HARD VERY HARD SHIFTS BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR DURING ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION. RECENTLY THE CAR HAS BEEN SHUTTING OFF ON THE ROAD WHEN I DRIVE, THERE IS A HARD BANG EVERY TIME I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND DRIVE. I AM A SURVIVOR OF 6 SEPARATE CANCERS, AND FEAR DRIVING THIS CAR TO AND FROM MY CHECK UPS AND CHEMO APPOINTMENTS AT THE HOSPITAL. MY CAR SHUT OFF ON THE HIGHWAY ON THE WAY TO CHEMO, AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO FEAR FOR MY LIFE BECAUSE OF NISSANS POOR MANUFACTURING. I AM ON DISABILITY AND DO NOT HAVE THE $4,000 NISSAN TOLD ME IT WOULD COST TO REPAIR THE CAR. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT ALMOST EVERY 2004-2006 NISSAN MAXIMA OWNER HAS, BUT NISSAN REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND ISSUE A RECALL. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH WILL YIELD THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE, AND NISSAN REFUSING TO HELP. THIS IS WHY IN 2007 NISSAN WENT TO A CVT TRANSMISSION AND WARRANTIED IT UP TO 10YEARS/120K MILES (BECAUSE THEY KNEW OF THE 04-06 FAILURES EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE NOT HELPING THOSE PEOPLE OUT). I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY REFUSED ANY ASSISTANCE IN HELPING ME FIX THE PROBLEM. I NOW HAVE TO PAY $3,450 FOR A REPAIR DUE TO AN ISSUE WITH NISSANS WORKSMANSHIP. *TR

MY CAR JERKS REALLY HARD. COMING IN AND OUT OF 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. WILL JUMP AFTER BEING PUT INTO DRIVE. TAKES A WHILE TO CATCH DRIVE FROM PARK. GEARS SLIP WHILE DRIVING DOWN ROAD AND ENGINE JUST BEGINS TO REV BY ITSELF. I SEE TONS OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS ONLINE. HOW DO WE GET THIS OBVIOUS RECURRENT ISSUE RESOLVED WITHOUT SPENDING THOUSANDS?!?! *TR

I BOUGHT A USED NISSAN MAXIMA FOR 8,000 SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT, THE CAR HAS A HARD TIME SHIFTING FROM 1ST GEAR TO 2ND GEAR AND SO ON IT MAKES A LOUD CLUNK NOISE AND IS STARING TO DAMAGE THE MOUNTS. I HAVE READ SIMILAR COMPLAINTS TO MINE ONLINE AND NEED TO LEARN HOW TO GET IT RECALLED OR FIXED. *TR

NISSAN TRANSMISSION FAILURE - CLASS ACTION SUIT FILED WITH ATTORNEYS FOR THIS CASE: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THIS VEHICLE HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE WAY THE TRANSMISSION WAS BUILT. MY TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING GEARS "WHILE DRIVING" I CAN BE ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 60MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE GEARS WILL CHANGE AND IMMEDIATELY "LOCK UP" OR THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY GO TO A LOWER SPEED. I HAVE PUT IN COMPLAINTS WITH THE MAKER, THEY ARE SAYING NO RECALL AS OF YET, ONLY THE ONES LISTED ON THIS SITE FOR SEAT BELTS AND THE LOWER LUBAR SWITCH. I TOOK THE CAR TO SEVERAL DEALERS AND THEY ARE ALL SAYING THE SAME THING AND THAT IS THIS VEHICLE FALLS UNDER THE LIST OF POORLY BUILT TRANSMISSIONS. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED WITH 50,000 MILES AND IS NOW FACING A $6000 REPAIR JOB??? REALLY. I FEEL IT IS UNFAIR A COMPANY CAN PUT OUT A BAD SEED AND HAVE NO REPERCUSSIONS UNTIL AN UNFORTUNATE EVENT HAPPENS. *TR

DRIVING 20-25 MPH THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS OUT OF GEAR, TOOK IT TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE MOTOR MOUNT WAS BAD. HAD MOTOR MOUNT REPLACE BUT THE SAME THING HAPPEN OVER AND OVER, TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER NOW HE TELLS ME THAT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION, I RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. THIS SHOULD BE LOOK INTO. *JB

I WAS PREPARING TO EXIT OUT OF A PARKING LOT WHEN SUDDENLY MY CAR JOLTED BACKWARD AND HIT THE FRONT BUMPER OF THE CAR BEHIND ME THROUGH NO FAULT OF MY OWN. THIS CAR JERKS AND JOLTS UNPREDICTABLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK FORWARD. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.
