I PURCHASED MY 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA SE IN DECEMBER 2006. AUGUST 2008 I BEGAN EXPERIENCING A JERKING OF MY VEHICLE AROUND 65K MILES. 4 MECHANICS WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE IT. TOOK IT TO NISSAN THEY SAID IT WAS MY ECU I PAID 1389.50 TO REPLACE IT. LESS THAN 15 MINUTES AFTER PULLING OFF THE LOT. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT BACK AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS MY TRANSMISSION AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR $3600. IT OCCURS EVERYTIME I DRIVE AFTER 10 MINUTES OF WARMING UP, DAILY. *TR

I HAVE A NISSAN MAXIMA 04 THAT I STARTED HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS LAST YEAR. WHEN I TRAVEL DOWN HILL IT SLAMS INTO GEAR WHEN IT DOWN SHIFTS. I ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN I SHIFT FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE IT PAUSES THAN SHIFTS HARD AND LOUD INTO DRIVE. IN APRIL OF 08 I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED (59000 MILES) WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THEY FOUND NO PROBLEM AND RETURNED IT TO ME. ON THE INVOICE THEY HAVE 47,000 MILES AT THE TIME OF INSPECTION. I ALSO HAVE A INVOICE FOR 07 THAT SHOWS MILEAGE AT 47,000. OBVIOUSLY, SOME ONE NOTED THE WRONG MILEAGE. IN TALKING TO THE DEALER THEY ARE ESTIMATING NEW TRANSMISSION BETWEEN $3500-$4000 DOLLARS. I AM ASTONISHED THAT NISSAN WOULD PUT OUT A PRODUCT THAT THEY KNOW IS FAULTY. WHAT CAN WE DO TO RESOLVE THIS? *TR THANK YOU,

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA SE MODEL.. CAR ONLY HAS 98K MILES AND HAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM..SLIPPING OF GEARS.. I LOOKED ONLINE MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS.. I JUST BOUGHT IT FOUR MONTHS AGO BUT ONLY HAD ONE MONTH WARRANTY..I WAS DUMB... NOW I NEED TO CHANGE MY TRANSMISSION...COSTING 4K JUST FOR THAT.... NISSAN WOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM..MANY OTHERS HAVE IT.. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. *TR

2004 NISSAN MAXIMA WITH 101K MILES. I AM NOTICING A SEVERE JERKING MOTION WHEN BRAKING OR WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE. THE JERK MAKES YOU THINK THAT SOMEONE HAS HIT YOU FROM THE BACK. AND MOST RECENTLY WHEN STARTING MY CAR I NOTICED THAT WHEN SHIFTING TO DRIVE THAT IT SLIPS. I PRESS ON THE GAS, FLOORING THE PEDAL, AND THEN I "CREEP" TO 10 MPH AND SO ON. IT TAKES ALMOST 20 SECONDS TO GET UP TO A CRUISING SPEED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AFTER STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT AND THEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AFTER THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. *TR

2004 NISSAN MAXIMA SE HAS 58,000. TRANSMISSIONS JERKS, CAR FALLS OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER 2 MONTHS AGO, THEY SAID TRANSMISSION FLUID AND FLUSH COST $400.00 IT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM, I TOOK IT IN AGAIN 2 DAYS AGO. THEY SAID $4800 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION!! NOTE: I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY SO THE $4800 IS COVERED BUT I AM OUT $400 FOR THE FLUSH PLUS $50.00 DEDUCTIBLE. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE DONE WEB SEARCHES ON THIS CAR AND PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF PEOPLE. PLEASE NOT THAT MY CAR SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR ON THE EXPRESSWAY SO THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM!! *TR
