2005 NISSAN MAXIMA Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE DRIVING AT 2 MPH, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY SLIPPED INTO THIRD GEAR AND BEGAN MAKING AN ABNORMAL RATTLING SOUND FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THE TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN REPLACED TWICE PREVIOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

I OWN A 05' MAXIMA WITH 102,000, AND I AM HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS SINCE AROUND THE 70,000 MILE MARK. I TRIED TO FLUSH IT AND NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK. IT SHIFTS OUT FUNNY FROM 1ST TO 2ND AND DOWN SHIFTS REAL HARD WHEN U COME TO A STOP. I'VE READ ALOT OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, BECAUSE I LOVE THE PERFORMANCE AND I DON'T WONT TO TRADE IT IN BECAUSE OF THE MONEY I HAVE DROPPED INTO IT, AND CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER CAR PAYMENT!!!! *TR

AFTER REPORTING TRANSMISSION PROBLEM TO NISSAN TWICE AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY TRANSMISSION I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BECAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING ME TO ALMOST BE STRUCK BY ANOTHER CAR. I DID MY RESEARCH TO FIND THAT NOT ONLY HAVE MANY CONSUMERS COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE FOR NISSAN MAXIMA 2004-2006 TRANSMISSION BUT NISSAN IS REFUSING O RECALL THESE TRANSMISSIONS AS THEY ARE FAULTY AND CAN ALSO BE DEADLY DUE TO THE NATURE OF JERKING AND CAR NOT KICKING INTO GEARS. *TR

TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH 1ST TO 2ND GEAR SHIFT. THE PROBLEM OCCURS DAILY AND IT IS GETTING WORSE. EXTENDED WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND NISSAN WILL NOT FIX OR REPLACE. *TR

2005 NISSAN MAXIMA AUTO TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE RANDOMLY JERKS VIOLENTLY WHEN SHIFTING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR AND FROM SECOND TO FIRST GEAR. THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT ALWAYS HAPPEN, BUT IT IS GETTING MORE FREQUENT. JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WITH 55,000 MILES ON IT, LESS THAN 10,000 MILES LATER I AM BEING TOLD I WILL NEED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. I WAS QUOTED $ 4,200 BY THE DEALER. THIS IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE PERSISTED. NEITHER THE DEALER OR THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED IN REGARDS TO THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 105,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 119,000.

I PURCHASE A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA AND NOW THE TRANSMISSION JERKS WHICH CAUSE THE CAR TO ACCELERATE FROM GEAR TO GEAR. I HAVE SPOKEN TO NISSAN ABOUT THIS AND THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT WILL NOT FIX IT. AFTER READING MORE THAN A HUNDRED COMPLAINTS THIS IS HAPPENING ON A REGULAR BASIS WITH MODELS FROM 2004 TO 2006 AND I THINK NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THERE PRODUCT AND RECALL THE YEAR MODELS THAT AFFECTED BY THERE FAULTY TRANSMISSION SYSTEM. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AND HOLD NISSAN ACCOUNTABLE FOR THERE CARS. *TR
