2004 Nissan Maxima

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA WITH A LITTLE OVER 90,000 MILES. IT IS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT THE ONLY 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT SLIPS OUT OF GEAR AND MAKES THE VEHICLE JUMP AS IF SOMEONE REAR ENDED ME. IT SHIFTS REALLY HARD FROM !ST TO 2ND EVEN 3RD WHEN I DRIVE THROUGHOUT THE CITY. IT DOES IT ONLY WHEN THE CAR WARMS UP AND IT DOES IT CONSISTENTLY. I'VE DONE A TRANSMISSION FLUSH WHICH WAS REQUIRED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND IT STOPPED DOING IT FOR ABOUT 5 MILES INTO THE RIDE, THEN IT BEGAN DOING IT. I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME VEHICLE AND WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY ALL HAVE DONE ALL THE TRANSMISSION REPAIRS POSSIBLE AND THE PROBLEM STILL MAINTAINS. I REFUSE TO SPEND $4,000.00 ON A NEW TRANSMISSION BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE THAT MONEY. THESE TRANSMISSIONS NEED TO BE RECALLED. *TR

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA. IT HAS CURRENTLY A LITTLE OVER 93K ON THE ODOMETER. LIKE HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE I HAVE ENCOUNTERED VIA INTERNET SEARCHES AND BLOGS, HAVE THE SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE SHIFTS HARD AND JERKS WHEN COMING TO A STOPPED AND HESITATES TO PROCEED WHEN PUT INTO DRIVE (UP TO 5 SECONDS). I WAS ADVISED EVENTUALLY THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REBUILT OR REPLACED. I AM INTERESTED IN BEING PART OF ANY CLASS ACTION MOVEMENT TO FORCE NISSAN TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE DEFECT AND MAKE GOOD BY REPAIRING THE CARS AFFECTED AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER OR REIMBURSING THOSE WHO INDEPENDENTLY RESOLVE THE ISSUE. AN UNEXPECTED AUTO REPAIR OVER $3000 DUE TO MANUFACTURER DEFECT WOULD BE DEVASTATING TO A SINGLE FATHER ON LIMITED BUDGET. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP THE CONSUMER. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHEN I AM TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY , THEN HAVE TO SLOW DOWN OR MAKE A COMPLETE STOP, WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER SLOWING DOWN OR STOPPING THE CAR JERKS REALLY HARD. ALSO WHEN PUTTING THE CAR IN DRIVE IT JERKS. I DECIDED TO GOOGLE THE PROBLEM WITH MY CAR AND I RUN ACROSS A WEBSITE WITH COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2004 MAXIMA. IT IS A SHAME THAT SOO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2004 MAXIMA. AND THE NISSAN CORP IS NOT CALLING NATIONWIDE RECALL. AND BY THE WAY, I ALSO I GOT MY TRANSMISSION SYSTEM FLUSH...AND IT DOES NOT HELP. NISSAN RECALL THE GOODYEAR EAGLE TIRES, WHY WANT THEY RECALL THE TRANSMISSION. PLEASE HELP THE 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA OWNER WITH TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE AN 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA. AT FIRST IT STARTED TO JERK OCCASIONALLY. NOW ITS JERKS AND SHIFTS HARD ALL THE TIME FROM 1ST-2ND AND 2ND-3RD GEAR. THIS IS WHEN I AM ACCELERATING AND WHEN I AM SLOWING DOWN. THIS JERKING THROWS THE WHOLE CAR. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND GIVES A CODE FOR SHIFT MALFUNCTION WHICH PROVES TO BE NO SPECIFIC PART FIX. RECOMMENDATIONS ARE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION AND THEN THE PROBLEM JUST OCCURS AGAIN. *TR

I BOUGHT MY NISSAN MAXIMA 04 ALMOST A MONTH AGO. I SPENT ALL OF MY MONEY THAT I SAVED UP TO PURCHASE THIS CAR (I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT--I HAVE NO MONEY). I AM NOW EXPERIENCING A JERKING MOTION WHEN CAR SHIFTS FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. I WENT ONLINE TO SEE IF I AM THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM AND I AM NOT. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL GET WORSE AND I WILL BE STUCK WITH A PIECE OF CRAP THAT DOES NOT GET ME ANYWHERE. I AM HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED AND SCARED BECAUSE FROM THE BLOG THAT I JUST READ I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. ANOTHER PROBLEM I AM EXPERIENCING IS A JERKING WHEN I PULL THE CAR INTO DRIVE. I ONLY HAVE 99,000 MILES ON THE CAR. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY NISSAN BECAUSE I AM SURE THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS DEFECT IN THIS CAR. *TR

A FEW MONTHS AGO MY TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP IN 1ST AN 2ND GEAR.WHEN I WOULD RUN ERRANDS FOR MORE THAN HOUR IT WOULD REALLY START TO ACT UP. NOW I CAN NOT DRIVE FOR 30 MINUTES WITHOUT IT SERIOUSLY SLIPPING GEARS HARD. I CAN ONLY DRIVE THE CAR A FEW MILES BECAUSE OF THIS. I TOOK THE CAR TO A SHOP AN WAS TOLD THAT THE VALVE BODY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WITH A REBUILT TRANSMISSION MECHANIC ALSO STATED THAT THE VALVE BODY SHOULD NOT BE A WEARABLE COMPONENT AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON IT. NOW THE CAR SITS MOST OF THE TIME BECAUSE I CAN NOT AFFORD TO FIX IT. PLEASE HELP ME. *TR

I GOT A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA LAST YEAR WITH ABOUT 80,000 MILES ON IT, WHEN THE CAR REACHED ABOUT 90,000 THE TRANSMISSION STARTED JERKING WHEN CHANGING GEARS. THE CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 20MPH. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. THIS FAULTY TRANSMISSION COULD HARM MYSELF OR OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROADS. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOPS, INCLUDING NISSAN. THEY ALL CANNOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, BUT RECOMMENDED THE POWER FLUSH, WHICH I DID. THE POWER FLUSH DID NOTHING FOR MY CAR. THE ONLY IT DID WAS SET ME BACK $250.00. THERE ARE MANY NISSAN OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WE ARE VERY DISSATISFIED AND WANT SOMETHING TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. *TR
