THE 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA HAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND IT'S NOT JUST ME, IF YOU GOOGLE FOR MAXIMA ABS ISSUE, EVERY ONE HAS BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS. APPARENTLY, THE HOLE NEAR THE RIGHT ABS SENSOR IS TOO SMALL FOR THE DUST PARTICLES TO ESCAPE WHICH CLOGS THE ABS AND SHORT CIRCUITS THE ABS MODULE. I LIVE IN NEW YORK STATE WHERE IT SNOWS HEAVILY SOMETIMES IN WINTERS. MY ABS MODULE BLEW UP BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. PEOPLE I HAVE SPOKEN TO HAVE HAD SAME EXACT ISSUE. IT'S AMAZING HOW NISSAN HAS NOT RECALLED THESE VEHICLES FOR THIS PROBLEM. ABS SYSTEM NOT WORKING IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I DON;'T SEE HOW THEY CAN IGNORE THIS. NOT JUST THAT, THIS SORT OF BECOMES A SCAM SINCE THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND STILL NOT RECALLING IT. *TR

2005 NISSAN MAXIMA STARTED HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AT OR NEAR 73,000 MILES. PROBLEMS CONSIST OF THE FOLLOWING: WHILE SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE AND VICE VERSA, THE ENGINE JUMPS/JERKS; WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE WILL HESITATE TO ACCELERATE, REVS AND THEN JUMP. CURRENTLY, THE VEHICLE HAS OVER 80,000 MILES. UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET IT ASSESSED BY A NISSAN DEALERSHIP BECAUSE WE LIVE IN ITALY (MILITARY). WE HAD THE VEHICLE ASSESSED LOCALLY AND THE PROGNOSIS WAS THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING BAD. WE MOVE BACK TO THE STATES IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS AND THE FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS WILL BE A STOP AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. WE ANTICIPATE THE SAME RUNAROUND THAT EVERYONE ELSE HAS BEEN GETTING. PLEASE NOTE: WE WOULD LIKE TO BE INCLUDED IN ANY AND ALL CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS. WE PAY OFF OUR MAX NEXT MONTH! *TR

THE SECOND AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK HAS GONE OUT ON MY VEHICLE. NOW THE PASSENGER DRIVERS SIDE REAR DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK AUTOMATICALLY. SINCE THE ONLY WAY TO LOCK AND UNLOCK THE DOOR IS FROM THE INSIDE (NO DOOR LOCK FOR KEY ON OUTSIDE) THIS POTENTIALLY CREATES A DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH MY FAMILY AND THE NEED TO GET SMALL CHILDREN IN OR OUT OF THE VEHICLE THAT ARE REQUIRED TO RIDE IN THE BACK WITH CHILD SEATS BY STATE LAW. *TR
