2004 Nissan Maxima

2004 NISSAN MAXIMA TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND CAUSED ME TO SLAM INTO WALL. AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY, HAD MY CHILDREN IN BACKSEAT WITH SEATBELTS ON. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS. I CAN'T BELIEVE THE NHTSA ISN'T FORCING A RECALL ON ALL TRANSMISSIONS. I LOOKED IT UP AND THOUSANDS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I'M DEFINITELY GOING TO LOOK INTO A SUIT AGAINST NISSAN AND AS WELL AS THE NHTSA IF NOTHING IS DONE. THAT'S A GUARANTEE AND I'M SURE I HAVE MANY SUPPORTERS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT INTERMITTENTLY THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SHIFT FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNINGS. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 TO 40 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS; THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR IN AN EXTREME FORWARD MOTION. WHEN PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO THE BRAKE PEDAL THE FRONT END ON THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING EXCESSIVELY. THE CONTACT DROVE ONTO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES HE WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. AN AUTHORIZED DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY THE FRONT MOTOR MOUNT AND THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT HAD CONCERNS OF THE SAFETY RISK INVOLVED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 96,000.

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
