2004 Nissan Maxima

MY CAR NISSAN MAXIMA 2004 (TRANSMISSION 5 SPEED) WHEN LOW OF 3 TO 2 TO 1 OR 2 IS A VERY STRANGE KNOCKING, ALSO ACCELERATED BROTHER SKATING TOO, BUT THIS CASE WHEN THE CAR IS ALREADY A HOT OR WARM WEATHER USE. THE COMPUTER DOES NOT COME OUT ANY CODE OF FAILURE. CHANGE THE OIL AND WENT BLACK "BURN" IS PERFORMED TWICE AND IMPROVED A LITTLE. *TR

MY 2004 MAXIMA SE, REPORTED TO DEALERSHIP THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS NOT SHIFTING FROM 0KM TO 60KM MILEAGE (159KM) BEFORE MY WARRANTY EXPIRES, TOLD THAT THIS IS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, CHANGE CAR,MANY TIMES RETURNING , DEALERSHIP FLUSH TRANSMISSION, BUT PROBLEM STILL THERE, SEEMS TO BE AN INTERMITTENT THING, PRESSURE RELATED THEREFORE DAYS WITH NO PROBLEM BUT THEN PROBLEM RETURNING, FINALLY BECAME FED UP SO DEMAND DEALERSHIP TO HAVE ME SPEAK WITH THE NISSAN REP. TO SLOVE THIS PROBLEM. IN MY INVESTIGATING I FOUND THAT THERE IS ALOT OF COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE AND THE MILEAGE SOMETIMES IS JUST 60KM OR EVEN LOWER THUS PROVING THAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOT MILEAGE RELATED BUT PART RELATED. MEANING THAT NISSAN HAS A FAULTY TRANSMISSION WHICH SHOULD BE RECALLED AS THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR CONSUMERS ESPECIALLY REGARDING THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. THE CAR AT TIMES JOLTS FORWARD WITH NO WARNING A POTENTIAL OF HITTING SOMEONE ESPECIALLY IN THE WINTER MONTHS, NOT TO MENTION THAT THE CAR CAN JUST SUDDENLY STOP WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE, WHICH CAN BE DEADLY IN MINUS DEGREE WEATHER. THE DEALERSHIPS ONLY ANSWER IS TO REPAIR OR REPLACE CAR, BECAUSE THE PROBLEM STARTED BEFORE THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED THEN THE REPAIRS SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF ,IN MY OPINION BUT ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP, IF YOU ARE NOT BROKEN DOWN AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THEN THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT COMPLETELY BROKEN SO NISSAN WILL NOT REPAIR. THIS I HAVE A PROBLEM BECAUSE ONCE THE PART IS NOT PERFORMING ITS FUNCTION THEN REPAIRS SHOULD BE DONE AS IT IS BROKEN, IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE CEASED IN ITS COMPLETE FUNCTION BUT AS LONG AS A PART OF THE IT HAS CEASED THEN SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK TO ITS FUNCTION AND THIS SHOULD NOT BE AT THE COST OF THE CONSUMER ESPECIALLY IF THEY HAVE PURCHASED EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH INCLUDES THIS PART OF THE VEHICLE. NOW THAT THE VESICLE HAS PASSED THE KMS ITS EASY TO SAY WELL ONE SHOULD CHANGE TO ANOTHER VEHICLE BUT THAT IS NOT THE ISSUE. *TR

MY TRANSMISSION JERKING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR ON MY 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA WITH 77,000 MILES. I TOOK IT IN TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY RECOMMENDED A TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE. I AGREED TO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID REPLACEMENT BUT THE PROBLEM PERSIST. I LATER TOOK THE CAR BACK BUT THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. NOW AT 133,000 MILES ITS VERY BAD. THERE IS A WEBSITE WHERE HUNDREDS OF OTHER CONSUMERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE 04 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE DEALER OR THE NISSAN HEADQUARTERS ARE LISTENING TO US AND ARE REFUSING TO HELP OR EVEN RECALL THIS FAULTY TRANSMISSION. *TR

I'VE NOTICED A PRETTY SEVERE JERKING MOTION WHEN GOING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR AND AGAIN FROM 2ND TO 1ST GEAR IN MY MAXIMA. I BOUGHT IT USED WITH 40K MILES ON IT AND JUST RECENTLY STARTED TO NOTICE THE PROBLEM WHEN THE CAR HIT 58K. SEEMS MUCH WORSE WHEN MOVING AT SLOW SPEEDS IN THE SNOW. I'VE NOTICED SEVERAL OTHER POSTINGS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

I STARTED TO NOTICE MY TRANSMISSION SLIPPING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR ON MY 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA WITH 58,000 MILES. I TOOK IT IN TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY RECOMMENDED A TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE AND WAS ADVISED NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I AGREED TO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID REPLACEMENT BUT THE PROBLEM PERSIST. I HAVE ENCOUNTERED A WEBSITE WHERE HUNDREDS OF OTHER CONSUMERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE 04 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE DEALER OR THE NISSAN HEADQUARTERS ARE LISTENING TO US AND ARE REFUSING TO HELP OR EVEN RECALL THIS FAULTY TRANSMISSION. *TR

I BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ON MY 04 NISSAN MAXIMA AT APPROXIMATELY 60,000 - 75,000 MILES. THE CAR WOULD AGGRESSIVELY JERK WHILE DRIVING IN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. THE DEALERSHIP KEPT TELLING ME THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM AND HAD ME PAY FOR A TRANSMISSION FLUSH SEVERAL TIMES. AFTER TAKING THE CAR BACK ENOUGH TIMES, THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION, WHICH BY THAT TIME MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED (VERY SUSPECT). SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW IN 2003, I HAVE FOLLOWED THE NISSAN GUIDLINES REGARDING TRANSMISSION CARE SERVICES (SPENDING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS). I PAID FOR A REBUILT TRANSMISSION AND I AM STILL HAVING SEVERE JERKS IN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND NISSAN CORP. SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD ON THE ROAD. IN ADDITION, IT IS SCARY FOR THE DRIVERS WHO DEAL WITH THESE STRONG JERKS CAUSING OUR HEADS TO SEVERELY JERK. THE OLD PARTS TO MY VEHICLE TRANSMISSION ARE NOT AVAILABLE, YET I HAVE RECEIPTS AND THE PHONE NUMBER TO THE CARE REPAIR PLACE WHO REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. PLEASE HELP BEFORE THIS ISSUE SEVERELY HURT SOMEONE. *TR

HAVE A 04 NISSAN MAXIMA WITH 82,000 MILE ON IT. HAD THE 75,000 SCHEDULE TUNE UP DONE TO IT. NOW AT 82,000 MILES MY CAR HAS A HARD JERK WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND. HAS A HARD DECELERATION. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION, A $4,000.00 COST TO ME. I FOUND A WEBSITE WHERE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM AND I AM TO BELIEVE TO THINK THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURE PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP TO RESOLVE. *TR
