2004 NISSAN MAXIMA Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA. SHE STATED WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED GEARS WITHOUT DRIVER INTENT. THE DEALER PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST BUT WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE DEALER DID ADVISE REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS UNUSUALLY DARK IN COLOR. THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE FAILURE AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, WHO WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 123,000.

MY 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA IS EXPERIENCE JERKING BETWEEN THE 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. IT'S AT 71,000 MILES AND HAVE JUST FINISHED PAYING IT OFF.

WHAT IS IT GOING TAKE FOR NISSAN TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND FIX IT? HOPEFULLY NOT A DEATH. *TR

I BOUGHT THE 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA SL FOR MY WIFE IN 2008. IT WAS A ONE OWNER WITH ABOUT 90,000 HIGHWAY MILES, I LOVED THE CAR AND HAD NO PROBLEMS UNTIL FEB 2010. THE ABS SYSTEM STARTED ACTING UP. SOUNDS LIKE THE ABS IS TRYING TO ENGAGE EVERY TIME YOU HIT THE BRAKES. NISSAN DEALERSHIP WANTED $100 JUST TO HOOK IT TO COMPUTER TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, NO THANK YOU. I HAD A MECHANIC FRIEND HOOK HIS SERVICE COMPUTER UP WHILE I DROVE AND LIKE MANY OTHER CONSUMERS, MY MAXIMA HAS A RIGHT (PASSENGER) REAR SPEED SENSOR THAT IS BAD, THIS CAUSES THE BRAKES TO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY, ALL THE WHILE THERE ARE NO SERVICE LIGHTS ON THE DASH, YOU CAN PULL THE ABS FUSE AND BUT THEN THAT KNOCKS OUT 1/2 OF THE CLUSTER, INCLUDING SPEEDOMETER, GAS GAUGE, PARTS OF THE OBC, THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM SUFFERED BY MANY CONSUMERS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. *TR
