2005 Nissan Maxima

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE ENGINE AND SLIP WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. ONCE THE VEHICLE FINALLY RESTARTED, THERE WAS A DELAY IN ACCELERATION AND THE SLIP LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN. THE FAILURE OCCURRED MORE THAN TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,300.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO JERK AND THEN STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS, CRANK POSITION SENSOR, AND THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE MAY STILL NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION, BUT THESE REPAIRS SHOULD BE DONE FIRST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

MY 2005 MAXIMA TRANSMISSION IS JERKING WHEN SWITCHING GEARS AND ALSO SLIPPAGE. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE MOUNTS BECAUSE ONE WAS BAD BUT AFTER REPLACING THEM THE PROBLEM STILL WAS STILL THERE. LATER I FOUND OUT IT WAS JUST THE TRANSMISSION. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND A NUMBER OF PEOPLE WAS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND THERE STILL HAVE NOT BEEN A RECALL. THIS WILL BE MY LAST NISSAN. *TR

MY CAR HAS BEEN JERKING WHEN GOING INTO SECOND AND THIRD GEARS, ENGINE REVS WHILE DRIVING THEN JERKS AGAIN AND MAKES A LOUD NOISE. I AM SCARED TO BE CLOSE TO ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S GOING TO DO NEXT. IT ONLY HAS 83,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN KEPT UP FOR SERVICES AND NO REAL PROBLEMS UNTIL NOW. I WOULD LIKE FOR THIS TO BE INVESTIGATED TO THE FULLEST. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND ONE OF THE REASON I BOUGHT IT WAS FOR ITS SAFETY RECORD, WHICH I AM NOT FEELING VERY SAFE IN IT NOW. I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS WITH THE MILEAGE I HAVE ON IT! *TR

I TOOK MY CAR TO NISSAN TO HAVE MY CAR TOTALLY CHECKED OVER . THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD SHARP JERKS FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND HESITATION AROUND 40 MPH . THE TIMING CHAIN ALSO HAD A RATTLE WHEN THE CAR WAS STARTED. MY ABS SYSTEM HAD FAILED DUE TO WATER SHORTING OUT THE ABS SENSOR WHICH DESTROYED THE ABS CONTROL MODULE REPAIR COST 1200.00 . WHEN I TOLD THE SERVICE ADVISOR MY ABS LIGHT WAS ON, HE HAD A SERVICE BULLETIN AT HIS STATION WITH EXACTLY WHAT HE THOUGHT WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR AND HE TOLD ME IT WAS A COMMON ISSUE WITH MY CAR. THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS A VALVE BODY DUE TO PREMATURE WEAR COST 3500.00 TO REBUILD AND INSTALL NEW VALVE BODY DESIGN . THE TIMING CHAIN HAS GUIDES THAT WEAR AND CHAIN RUBS AGAINST PLASTIC THEN DOWN TO METAL REPAIR COST 1500.00. NISSAN NEEDS TO FIX ALL OF THESE DEFECTIVE CARS AND PAY THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE MADE THESE COSTLY REPAIRS. *TR
