THE CAR IS JERKING/BUCKING VIOLENTLY WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE INTO DRIVE AND AGAIN WHEN SHIFTING INTO FIRST AND SECOND GEARS. IT IS ALSO JERKING WHEN DOWNSHIFTING FROM SECOND TO FIRST GEAR. AT FIRST, THE SHIFTING PROBLEM WAS AN OCCASIONAL OCCURRENCE, HOWEVER, IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. NOW IT IS ALMOST CONSTANT. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, I HAVE FOUND THAT HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF '04-05 MAXIMA OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS. THIS IS QUITE OBVIOUSLY A NISSAN MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY NISSAN CORP. *TR

ON SATURDAY JANUARY 5TH 2013, MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I CALLED CARMAX ON MONDAY JANUARY 7TH 2013 TO GET MY EXTENDED WARRANTY INFORMATION. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH PASSPORT NISSAN LOCATED IN OXON HILL, MD. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME. I NEED TO HAVE MY TIMING CHAIN, GEARS, GUIDES AND TENSIONS REPLACE FOR $2,619.00 WITH REPLACING THE OIL COOLER (IT HAS LEAKAGE) $698.00. WELL MY EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED WHEN MY CAR HIT 100,000. IF I HAD KNOWN THIS BEFORE I PURCHASE THE CAR FROM CARMAX, I WOULD HAVE NEVER TOOK IT OFF THE LOT. BY THE WAY I ONLY HAD THE CAR SINCE APRIL 2011. I NEED HELP!!!!! I NEED TO EXPRESS TO YOU THE IMPORTANCE FOR ME TO HAVE RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION. I HAVE A YOUNG CHILD WHO I NEED TO TAKE TO SCHOOL EACH DAY. WITHOUT MY TRANSPORTATION, MY SON WOULD HAVE TO WALK A FULL MILE TO THE BUS STOP BY HIMSELF ALONE AT 7AM. BY THE WAY IT'S DARK AT THAT TIME AND IT'S CLOSE TO AN OPEN STREET. I MYSELF WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION, I WOULD HAVE TO WALK A MILE PLUS TO A BUS STOP TO CATCH A BUS TO THE TRAIN STATION. FROM THE TRAIN STATION I HAVE TO TAKE A TRAIN TO WORK AND WALK ADDITIONAL MILE PLUS TO WORK. THIS IS VERY OVER WHELMING BECAUSE I'M STILL PAYING A CAR NOTE AND CAR INSURANCE FOR A CAR I CAN'T DRIVE. I'M BEING PUT IN A DIFFICULT SITUATION BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD TO GET MY CAR FIXED. *TR

TRANSMISSION IS JERKING WHEN SHIFTING THRU MOST GEARS AND SOMETIMES GETS WORSE WHILE DRIVING LONG PERIODS. I FEEL THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF AND NISSAN NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE AND NEEDS TO BE PUT OUT THERE FOR EVERYONE TO SEE HOW MONEY HUNGRY THEY ARE FOR NOT WANTING TO HELP. THEY ARE TAKING MONEY FROM PEOPLE WHEN THEY KNOW THE PROBLEM. I EVEN SEEN COMPANIES COME OUT WITH PARTS THAT HELP THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY KNOW THERE IS A MARKET FOR THIS PROBLEM. YOU NEED TO MAKE NISSAN FIX THERE PROBLEM AND MAKE RIGHT BECAUSE IN TODAY MARKET THIS IS NOT GOING TO END WELL WITH THE PEOPLE WHO ARE GETTING SCREWED OVER. I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH GREEN LIGHT AUTO WHO IS TIRED OF DEALING WITH THIS CAR BECAUSE IT HAS THIS ISSUES NOW LET ME TELL YOU THIS NEW MOUNTS, FLUID ALL NEW EVEN SENSORS AND 02'S THAT ARE NOTED TO GO AND CAUSE THESE ISSUES. STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. YOU NEED TO MAKE THEM FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION FAILS AND KILLS SOMEONE DUE TO AN ACCIDENT THEN WE WILL START HAVING PEOPLE SUE AND GET SOME HELP FROM LEGAL MATTERS. CLASS ACTION LAW SUITE IS ALSO FILLED AND IS GOING ON AS WELL. SHOWS THAT EVERYONE IS TIRED OF THE CRAP. *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE DRIVING CAUSING VEHICLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHILE IN TRAFFIC ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT BY VEHICLES FOLLOWING. NISSAN HAS COMPLETELY IGNORED THIS INHERENT TRANSMISSION FAILURE ON THOUSANDS OF THESE MODEL YEAR VEHICLES. A RECALL IS NECESSARY TO FIX THIS TOTALLY FLAWED TRANSMISSION, AND GIVE THE CONSUMER SOME SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY THAT NISSAN SO FAR HAS FAILED TO SHOW. *TR
