2005 Nissan Maxima

2005 NISSAN MAXIMA SE, TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. SOMETIMES SHIFTS VIOLENTLY, WHEN IN REVERSE & JUMPS FROM 2 TO 3 GEAR, ALMOST LIKE BEING REAR ENDED, ALSO REVS UP TO 5 OR 6 RPM ON THE TACT WITHOUT FOOT ON PEDAL, AND LOOSES POWER. I TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALER WHO TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION FOR $4000.00 AND BECAUSE OF THE SHIFTING THE MOTOR MOUNTS ALSO NEED REPLACED. ONE TIME THE CAR WILL DRIVE FINE THEN THE NEXT ALL THE PROBLEMS ARE BACK. I HAVE LOOKED ON SEVERAL NISSAN WEB SITES FOR COMPLAINTS ON THIS CAR, THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE EXACT 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA SE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, WHY NISSAN DOES NOT LOOK INTO A RECALL ON THIS CAR IS UNBELIEVABLE. THERE IS NO WAY SEVERAL HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE CAN BE HAVING THE VERY SAME PROBLEM AND IT NOT BEING BECAUSE OF THE CAR. THIS DEFECT IN THIS CAR IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED. LOOK FOR YOURSELF AND SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE DEMANDING NISSAN RECALL THE 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA SE. *TR

I VISIT TO THE DEALER RESULTED IN BEING TOLD THAT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE HARD SHIFTED FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

2005 NISSAN MAXIMA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE TRANSMISSION DEFECTS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, HE FELT SOME MINOR JERKING WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. RECENTLY, THE JERKING BECAME STRONGER AND MORE FREQUENT, EVEN HAPPENING WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. UPON HAVING THE VEHICLE INSPECTED, THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALER, WHERE THE SAME PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED, ALONG WITH SOME OTHER ISSUES THAT WERE PROBABLY RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION DEFECT SUCH AS A TIMING PROBLEM.

THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO HARD VERY HARD SHIFTS BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR DURING ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION. RECENTLY THE CAR HAS BEEN SHUTTING OFF ON THE ROAD WHEN I DRIVE, THERE IS A HARD BANG EVERY TIME I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND DRIVE. I AM A SURVIVOR OF 6 SEPARATE CANCERS, AND FEAR DRIVING THIS CAR TO AND FROM MY CHECK UPS AND CHEMO APPOINTMENTS AT THE HOSPITAL. MY CAR SHUT OFF ON THE HIGHWAY ON THE WAY TO CHEMO, AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO FEAR FOR MY LIFE BECAUSE OF NISSANS POOR MANUFACTURING. I AM ON DISABILITY AND DO NOT HAVE THE $4,000 NISSAN TOLD ME IT WOULD COST TO REPAIR THE CAR. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT ALMOST EVERY 2004-2006 NISSAN MAXIMA OWNER HAS, BUT NISSAN REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND ISSUE A RECALL. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH WILL YIELD THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE, AND NISSAN REFUSING TO HELP. THIS IS WHY IN 2007 NISSAN WENT TO A CVT TRANSMISSION AND WARRANTIED IT UP TO 10YEARS/120K MILES (BECAUSE THEY KNEW OF THE 04-06 FAILURES EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE NOT HELPING THOSE PEOPLE OUT). I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY REFUSED ANY ASSISTANCE IN HELPING ME FIX THE PROBLEM. I NOW HAVE TO PAY $3,450 FOR A REPAIR DUE TO AN ISSUE WITH NISSANS WORKSMANSHIP. *TR

MY CAR JERKS REALLY HARD. COMING IN AND OUT OF 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. WILL JUMP AFTER BEING PUT INTO DRIVE. TAKES A WHILE TO CATCH DRIVE FROM PARK. GEARS SLIP WHILE DRIVING DOWN ROAD AND ENGINE JUST BEGINS TO REV BY ITSELF. I SEE TONS OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS ONLINE. HOW DO WE GET THIS OBVIOUS RECURRENT ISSUE RESOLVED WITHOUT SPENDING THOUSANDS?!?! *TR
