2006 NISSAN MAXIMA Complaints

HARD SHIFTING WHEN ENGINE IS AT OPERATING TEMPERATURE WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE OR NEUTRAL TO DRIVE. SAW MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE EXACT SAME NATURE THROUGH NISSAN FORUMS.

TRANSMISSION,HESITATION BETWEEN GEARS, ROUGH SHIFTING, SUDDEN STOPS OR DIMINISHED ACCELERATION, IN CITY DRIVING AFTER 1/2 HR OF DRIVING.

THE TRANSMISSION IS ACTING UP AS WITH ALL OTHER MAXIMAS. IT'S JERKING AND SLIPPING ON THE STREET.IT'S REALLY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. CALLED UP THE DEALER AND NEW TRANSMISSION WOULD COST $3000.

I BROUGHT MY 2006 MAXIMA NEW AND HAD ALL KIND OF PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR AT THE VERY BEGINNING. EVERYTHING WAS UNDER WARRANTY, BUT WHEN MY CAR HAD ABOUT 62000 MILES THE CAR STARTED SLIPPING AND MISSING GEARS SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY TRANSMISSION WASN'T COVER UNDER THE POWER TRAIN BECAUSE THERE WERE 2 TYPES OF TRANSMISSION PUT INTO THE MAXIMA AND THE ONE THAT MY CAR HAD WAS NOT COVER UNDER THE POWER TRAIN. I CALLED NISSAN CORPORATE OFFICES AND DIDN'T GET ANY SATISFACTION. I HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANS AND MANY OTHER THINGS ON THIS CAR. I WOULD NOT EVER OR SUGGEST THAT ANYONE BUY A NISSAN. I BELIEVED THAT NISSAN KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE THE FIRST COMPLAINT WAS EVER MADE. SAME ON YOU NISSAN

WITH 152193 MILES THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN SLIPPING AND JERKING BADLY WHEN ACCELERATING AND DECELERATING. TOOK IT INTO THE TRANSMISSION SHOP AND WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

TIMING CHAIN KIT SLIPPING/ LOUD NOISES. CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY ENGINE I AM SCARED IT WILL FAIL ON ME WHILE DRIVING. REALLY EXPENSIVE TO FIX AND THE CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN MAINTAINED VERY WELL. IT SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM AT 115000 MILES. *TR

BOUGHT THE CAR 1 MONTH BACK AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN ACTING UP.IT STALLS AND JUMPS INTO DRIVE.THIS PROBLEM IS HAPPENING WITH ALL MAXIMA OWNERS. SOMETIMES THE GEAR SLIPS TOO. IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR,PLEASE FORCE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM.

TRANSMISSION DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. HARSH UPSHIFTS OR DOWNSHIFTS DURING MODERATE ACCELERATION OR SLOWING DOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED. WHILE ATTEMTPING TO SHIFT GEARS, THE SHIFTER LOCKED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE WATER PUMP LEAKED WATER INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND CAUSED THE GEAR SHIFTER TO FAIL. THE TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

THE 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA HAS A MAJOR ISSUE OF VIOLENTLY JERKING AFTER 100K MILES, I HAVE SEEN REPORTS THAT IT DOES THIS EVEN BEFORE IT REACHES SUCH MILEAGE. I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA WORST CAR I HAVE EVER BOUGHT I WILL NEVER EVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN PRODUCT. THE CAR VIOLENTLY JERKS INTO GEAR WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR DRIVING OFF, THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED BY MANY OWNERS AND NISSAN HAS DONE NOTHING. I HAVE SPENT 1800 HUNDRED DOLLARS REPLACING THE ENGINE MOUNTS AND THE CAR STILL JERKS. THE CAR IS PAID FOR AND I WILL NOT SPEND ANYMORE REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THAT WOULD COST MORE THAN WHAT THE CAR IS WORTH.
