2004 Nissan Maxima

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

I PURCHASED CAR ON 8/22/09 AND WANTED TO RETURN IT BY 8/23/09 AFTER MECHANIC SAYS TAKE IT BACK THE DEALER REFUSED TO GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK AND WANTED TO DO A PATCH JOB OF REPAIRS .....TOTAL INVESTMENT SPENT ON THIS CAR IS $2,680 ($2,500 FOR DOWN PAYMENT TO PEOPLE CHOICE AUTO SALES, SPENT $32 ON OIL CHANGE, $55 ON A FULL TANK OF GAS, AND $93 FOR BRAKES) AND I FEEL EVERY DOLLAR IS DUE BACK TO ME. IF THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME FOR THE DAYS I HAD THE CAR, FOR THE 4 DAYS I SHOULD BE ABLE TO CHARGE THEM FOR THE 3 DAYS THEY HAD THE CAR AND WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXING IT! I WORK HARD FOR MY MONEY AND NEED IT BACK. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA SE. SHE REPLACED THE STRUTS, AXLES AND MOTOR MOUNTS ON THE VEHICLE. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT SHE SHOULD ALSO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION CHECKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DIFFERENT MECHANIC WHERE A FLUSH WAS PERFORMED. AFTERWARD, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE AND IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE NORMALLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED; HOWEVER, THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE LIABLE FOR THE REPAIRS. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE UNDER 48,000.

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

1. MY PROBLEMS OCCUR WITH MY 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA WHEN I STARTED TO NOTICE THAT FROM A TAKE OFF AFTER A TOLL THAT THE CAR WOULD JERK INTO SECOND GEAR. IT HAS SINCE PROGRESSED INTO A JERKING AND SLAMMING INTO 2ND AND 3RD GEAR ON ACCELERATION AND 3RD TO 2ND AND 2ND TO 1ST IN DECELERATION. IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY THAT I USE MY CAR. I HAVE HAD MY TRANSMISSION FLUID FLUSHED AND SEVERAL ENGINE SENSORS REPLACED BY A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THE PROBLEM HAS NEVER GONE AWAY AND JUST GETS WORSE WITH TIME. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA WITH 96,000 MILES AND THE UNDERCARRIAGE FLOOR BOARD IS ROTTING AWAY. I TAKE EXCELLENT CARE OF ALL OF MY CARS AND THE CAR LOOKS BRAND NEW, NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND SERVICED THROUGH THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER FOR ALL WORK ON IT. I HAVE HAD SIX NISSAN MAXIMAS (1987, 1990, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2009) AND I'VE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE LIKE THIS. I LIVE IN THE NORTHEAST BUT I ALWAYS HAVE. I THINK SOMETHING WAS UP WITH THE QUALITY AND MATERIALS FOR THE 2004 MODEL. *TR

ON MY WAY TO WORK, MY 04 NISSAN MAXIMA SE SUDDENLY JERKED AND STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I NARROWLY ESCAPED ANY INJURY DUE TO NOT ONLY MY QUICK ACTIONS BUT THE ALERTNESS AND QUICK RESPONSE OF THE DRIVER BEHIND ME. MY SEARCH TO FIND OUT IF ANY ONE HAD EXPERIENCE SIMILAR PROBLEMS, RESULTED IN A PLETHORA OF SIMILAR CASES. THIS OF COURSE MADE ME FURIOUS TO KNOW THAT NISSAN HAVE A HISTORY OF FAILED TRANSMISSIONS IN THIS MODEL VEHICLE AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. I AM STEADFAST WHEN IT COMES TO REGULAR MAINTENANCE OF MY VEHICLE AND DEAR NOT PLACE THE BLAME ON THE DEALERSHIP OR THE MECHANICS. MY SITUATION COULD HAVE EASILY RESULTED IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. I HOPE SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT THIS BECAUSE IT CAN INDEED SAVE A LIFE OR LIVES. *TR
