2006 NISSAN MAXIMA Complaints

TRANSMISSION STARTS TO SLIP FROM FIRST TO SECOND WHEN IT GETS WARMED UP. I WAS READING ONLINE THAT NISSAN MADE A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION AND IS REFUCING TO TAKE RESPONSABILITY FOR THERE MISTAKES. *TT

I WAS GOING THROUGH A STOP SIGN, AND AFTER I STOPPED, I PRESSED THE GAS ONLY TO SEE THE RPMS SHOOT UP WITHOUT THE VEHICLE MOVING FOR FIVE SECONDS, THEN THE CAR FINALLY KICKED INTO GEAR. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST INCIDENT. *TR

MY CAR WAS BOUGHT AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN 2011 OF DECEMBER, IN JANUARY I NOTICED THE CAR JERKING AND SHIFTING WHILE DRIVING 20 TO 30 MILES. SO I TOOK THE CAR BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WILL ONLY GIVE ME ANOTHER CAR ONLY IF THE PROBLEM IS IN THE TRANSMISSION, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE PROBLEM IS MY MOTOR MOUNT IS BROKEN, AND THEY DON'T COVER ANYTHING OUTSIDE THE TRANSMISSION OR ENGINE ONLY THE INSIDE.. THE TOTAL AMOUNT TO FIX WAS 500 BUT I HAD NO MONEY TO DO IT.THEY GAVE ME AN OPTION OF TAKING AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH IT WAS EXPENSIVE FOR ME SO I SHOPPED FOR A WARRANTY AND I GOT A FULL BUMPER TO BUMPER FOR A CHEAPER PRICE THAN WHAT THEY GAVE ME. IT TOOK ME 3MONTHS TO GO BACK TO THE DEALER WITH A NEW WARRANTY THEY FIXED THE MOTOR MOUNT BUT THE ISSUE IS STILL THEIR. A NISSAN TECHNICIAN TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE THEY SUGGESTED THAT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND THERE'S NO WAY I'M WILLING TO GIVE THEM MY CAR AGAIN TO FIX BECAUSE IT TOOK THEM ALONG TIME TO REALIZE THE PROBLEM TELLING ME TO FIX YOUR CAR WE NEED TO GET IT OUT OF IDLE AND EMISSION NEEDS TO BE CHECKED THAT'S WHAT THEY WERE SAYING BEFORE THEY REALIZE ITS A TRANSMISSION..I LOVE NISSAN MAXIMA BUT IN ORDER TO KEEP A CUSTOMER LIKE ME TO STAY LOYAL PLEASE FIX THE ISSUE AND DO THE RIGHT THING BY RECALLING THE VEHICLES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING 45MPH AND CAME TO A RED LIGHT WHICH I STOPPED AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I PLACED MY FOOT ON THE GAS AND MY NISSAN WOULD NOT GET PAST 3RD GEAR AND JERKED REALLY BAD BEFORE IT WOULD ACCELERATE. THIS HAPPENS NOW ALL THE TIME AND I EVEN HAD TRANSMISSION FLUID REPLACED IN MY CAR WHICH HAS NOT PREVENTED THE ISSUE THAT I AM STILL HAVING FAULTY TRANSMISSION. *TR

THIS IS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE, BUT 'TRANSMISSION' WASN'T LISTED AS A CHOICE SO I CHOSE 'POWER TRAIN'. I WAS ACCELERATING ON AN INTERSTATE ONRAMP, PREPARING TO ENTER THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. WHILE ACCELERATING, I NOTICED THE CAR AHEAD OF ME WAS NOT ACCELERATING AT THE SAME RATE SO I LET OFF THE GAS TO SLOW DOWN. THE CAR AHEAD THEN SPED UP, SO I ATTEMPTED TO ASSUME ACCELERATING TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY. AT THAT POINT THE ENGINE QUICKLY REVVED UP AS THOUGH I WERE IN NEUTRAL. THAT LASTED FOR A BRIEF MOMENT, THEN SUDDENLY THE TRANSMISSION SLAMMED INTO GEAR WITH SUCH FORCE THAT THE FRONT TIRES LOST TRACTION AND THE CAR LURCHED HARD TO THE LEFT. MY REACTION WAS TO ADJUST QUICKLY TO THE RIGHT, TO PREVENT CUTTING ACROSS BUSY LANES. I LEFT THE ROADWAY TO THE RIGHT, FORTUNATELY NO COLLISION WITH ANYTHING EXCEPT A CURB. SKIDDED TO A STOP THERE IN THE GRASSY AREA RIGHT OF THE HIGHWAY. *TR
