2004 Nissan Maxima

I PURCHASED A 2004 MAXIMA MARCH OF 2007, AND NOW AS OF RECENTLY MY CAR IS SUFFERING FROM TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I CHECKED OTHER WEBSITES TO SEE IF OTHER VEHICLE OWNERS OF MAXIMAS WERE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM AND I HAVE READ SO MANY REVIEWS ON THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS CAR FAILING. I NEVER WOULD OF BOUGHT THIS CAR IF I WOULD OF KNOWN THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD FAIL SO EASILY. IM VERY UPSET AND DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE TO GET THIS TRANSMISSION REBUILT AND PUT BACK INTO MY CAR WOULD COST 2300 DOLLARS. AS OF RIGHT NOW MY CAR STALLS OUT EVERYDAY AND STICKS IN 5TH GEAR UNTIL IT COOLS DOWN, BUT IT IS CONSTANTLY SLIPPING WHEN IT DOESN'T GO INTO THIS PROTECT MODE. I REALLY THINK NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS BECAUSE EVERYONE IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS FAULTY TRANSMISSION. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHEN THE CONTACT PLACED THE VEHICLE INTO DRIVE, IT BEGAN TO JERK. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE FLUSHED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT THE COST OF $300. AFTER TWO MONTHS, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO JERK AGAIN WHEN IT WAS PLACED INTO DRIVE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AGAIN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT AT THE COST OF $3,500. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT NO COMPENSATION WOULD BE MADE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE EXCEEDED THE MILEAGE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA. SINCE I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL TRANS MISSION SHOP. AT THE TIME I HAD ABOUT 70K MILES ON THIS VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE REVERSE AND THIRD GEARS, AND I NEEDED A REBUILD. AFTER $2000.00 AND SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE TRANSMISSION SHOP I,M STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. AFTER READING CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS OF OTHERS WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE I DECIDED TO SUBMIT A COMPLAINT OF MY OWN. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO AND THE CAR HAS SOME DEFECTS THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR. ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR I NOTICED A SHAKING IN THE STEERING WHEN I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES OR WHEN I DRIVE FASTER THAN 50MPH. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY DIAGNOSED THAT THE ROTORS WERE SLIGHTLY WARPED BUT THAT THIS WASN'T NECESSARILY A SAFETY ISSUE. RECENTLY AT 74,000 MILES THE CARS TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO FAIL,SLIPPING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR AND FROM SECOND TO FIRST GEAR. IT JERKS AGGRESSIVELY WHEN IT SHIFTS AND SMELLS LIKE BURNED RUBBER. I TOOK IT TO BE SERVICED FOR THIS AND FOUND THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS HEAVILY CONTAMINATED AND THERE WAS METALLIC RESIDUE IN THE TRANSMISSION PAN. THE AUTO SPECIALIST DETERMINED THAT THE INSIDE OF THE TRANSMISSION WAS BURNED AND THAT EVENTUALLY THE CAR WILL STOP WORKING UNLESS I GET A NEW TRANSMISSION INSTALLED. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR SAID THAT THERE ISN'T ANYTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME AND THAT IT ISN'T THERE PROBLEM THAT THE CAR I BOUGHT FROM THEM SIX MONTHS AGO DOESN'T WORK. IT IS UNFAIR THAT I AM PAYING TWICE THE AMOUNT OF MONEY OF THE CAR'S WORTH. THE RETAIL VALUE OF THE VEHICLE IS $10,000 IN GOOD CONDITION. *TR

I ALSO SEEM TO BE HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH MY 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CAR HAS 62,000 MILES ON AND THE PROBLEM IS JUST STARTING TO SURFACE. I GET A JERKING MOTION WHEN THE CAR SHIFTS FROM 1ST TO 2ND OR IT DOWNSHIFTS FROM 2ND TO 1ST. IT JERKS ESPECIALLY HARD WHEN MAKING A TURN AND THE CAR SLOWS DOWN AND PICKS UP SPEED AGAIN. THE THING I HATE THE MOST IS HE PROBLEM IS TEMPERAMENTAL. IT'LL BE FINE ONE DAY AND THE NEXT IT JERKS AROUND LIKE CRAZY. I TRIED CONTACTING NISSAN ABOUT THE PROBLEM, BUT CAN'T GET THROUGH TO ANYBODY WHO ACTUALLY MIGHT GIVE A HOOT. IS THERE ANYBODY WHO MIGHT KNOW WHERE I CAN DIRECTLY REPORT THIS PROBLEM AND SEE IF SOMETHING CAN BE DONE. *TR
