2004 Nissan Maxima

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHEN THE DRIVER ATTEMPTED TO REVERSE OUT OF A PARKING SPACE THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT INTENTION. HE THEN CRASHED INTO ONE PARKED VEHICLE WHICH PUSHED THAT VEHICLE INTO ANOTHER PARKED VEHICLE. SHE RECEIVED INJURIES TO HER NECK. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER STATED SPECULATED THAT AN ANIMAL GOT STUCK UNDER THE VEHICLE AND CAUSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO STICK. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 67,000. THE POLICE REPORT INFORMATION WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE PROCEEDING TO A COMPLETE STOP FROM 30 MPH,THE TRANSMISSION HESITATED THEN DOWN-SHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR . THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE OPERATION. HE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION EXHIBITED HESITATION WHEN SHIFTING FROM "REVERSE" INTO THE "DRIVE" GEAR . THE FAILURES OCCURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE FAILURE WAS CONTRIBUTED TO DEFECTIVE PRESSURE POINTS WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION. THE TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED FOR THE MALFUNCTION. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 94,000. THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA. IT JERKS REAL HARD WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE AND IT STAYS IN HIGH GEAR WHEN I DRIVE. SOMETIMES WHEN IM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, IT JUST DIES AND I LOOSE MY POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. I SEE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME CAR AND THE SAME PROBLEMS. MY CAR IS NOT THAT OLD AND THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP SAYS I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION THAT WILL COST 4,000 DOLLARS. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED EVENT AND I FEEL IT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

I OWN A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA. HERE RECENTLY MY TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SLIPPING, I BEGAN TO LOOK ONLINE FOR RECALLS AND FOUND THAT SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I THINK NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THIS PROBLEM, BECAUSE MY CAR ONLY HAS 85,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND WAS TOLD THEY WASN'T FOR SURE BUT THOUGHT IT WAS THE VALVE BODY THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED,AND IT WAS GOING TO COST 2,000-3,000 DOLLARS, I WAS ASTONISHED THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN. I THOUGHT NISSAN WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A WELL MADE CAR THAT IS WHY WE BOUGHT IT. ALSO THE MECHANIC I TOOK MY CAR TO SAID HE DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSE IT WAS NOT SHOWING ANYTHING ON THE MACHINE, SO HE CALLED NISSAN AND THEY TOLD HIM WHAT IT WAS AND THEY HAD SEVERAL OF THAT PART THAT WAS NEEDED TO FIX THE CAR IN STOCK, SO THEY OBVIOUSLY KNOW AT NISSAN THAT THEY WOULD BE NEEDING SEVERAL OF THOSE PARTS TO HAVE SO MANY READILY AVAILABLE AND I THINK NISSAN SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES FOR THAT AND NOT RECALLING THE PART. OBVIOUSLY NISSAN WOULD NOT BE MAKING A PART THAT COST SO MUCH MONEY AND NOT BE ABLE TO SELL THEM SO SHAME ON THEM. *TR

I OWN A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA WHICH HAS STARTED HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. IT STARTED OUT REVVING REALLY HIGH WHEN THE CAR WOULD TRY TO SHIFT INTO HIGHER GEARS. IT NOW HAS BEGAN JERKING VIOLENTLY WHEN IT SHIFTS GEARS. I HAVE READ MANY MANY COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER MAXIMA OWNERS OF THE SAME YEAR WITH THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM. IF IT WERE ONLY A HANDFUL BUT IT APPEARS THAT WHEN THESE VEHICLES GET CLOSE TO OR ABOVE 100K MILES THE PROBLEMS BEGIN, HENCE THE INFLUX OF COMPLAINTS WITHIN THE LAST 6 MONTHS. THE PROBLEM STARTED OUT ONCE IN A WHILE, NOW IT'S EVERYTIME WE DRIVE IT HOT OR COLD. I TOOK IT TO NISSAN AND THEY JUST TOLD ME IN A VERY RUDE MANNER TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THE PROBLEM IS SO COMMON THAT WHEN I TOLD THE TECHNICIAN I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY MAXIMA'S TRANSMISSION, HE SAID "WHAT YEAR AND HOW MANY MILES"? AFTER I TOLD HIM A 2004 AND APPROXIMATELY 113K MILES. HE SAID, "REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION". *TR

I HAVE 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA WITH 90000 MILES ON IT, 6 SPEED. ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO ALL MOST EVERY GEAR STARTED TO JERK WHEN I SWITCH BETWEEN GEARS, MOSTLY 2ND AND 3RD GEAR. I HEAR FROM OTHER PEOPLE THAT THIS MODELS HAVE THIS PROBLEMS VERY FREQUENTLY. THE NISSAN SHOULD HAVE RECALL ON THIS MODELS FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, CAUSE ALL MOST EVERY TRANNY WITH THIS MODEL HAVE PROBLEMS AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

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
