2005 Nissan Maxima

"TAMARA INFLATORS" SEAT BELTS DIDN'T LOCK OR LIGHT DID NOT COME ON. SMASHED BODY ALL THE WAY TO BACK SEAT BOTTOM TO GROUND. ENGINE WAS IDLING VERY HIGH FELT/SOUND AS IF WE WERE GOING 60 BUT ONLY WAS GOING 40. NO AIR BAGS CAME ON. BRAKES GRINDING. BACK WINDOW BLEW OUT AND TIRES FLAT IN BACK.. WINDOWS SLOW ON DRIVERS SIDE. WHEN THE SHERIFF TAHOE HIT US AT 80MPH ON U.S. 40 GREENFIELD IN WAS IN THE SHOP AT J&M TRUCK AN TRAILER ON THE WEST SIDE OF INDIANAPOLIS HAVING THE OIL LEAKED FIXED AND TIRES ALL FIXED AND ROTORS AND LIGHTS BY [XXX] A COUPLE MONTHS PRIOR. I HAD MY LITTLE GIRL IN THE BACK SEAT AS WELL WHERE SHERIFF HIT AND RAN. I UPLOADED A BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURE. VIN#[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA (AND OTHER MODELS DURING THIS YEAR) HAS A VALVE BODY DEFECT AND THE COMPANY REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE AND RECALL THE PROBLEM. THIS PART HELPS THE VEHICLE WITH SHIFTING THROUGH GEARS. AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE GOES FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR, THERE IS A HUGE VEHICLE JERK (SIMILAR TO BEING IN A REAR END CAR COLLISION). THE VEHICLE ALSO JERKS WHEN GOING FROM SECOND TO FIRST. AT TIMES, THE CAR EVEN DELAYS IN SHIFTING PUTTING THE DRIVER EVEN MORE AT RISK THERE ARE MANY CONSUMERS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE VALVE BODY IS SUCH AN ISSUE THAT THERE IS A PENDING LAWSUIT AGAINST NISSAN FOR THIS PROBLEM. DRIVING WITH A DEFECTED VALVE BODY IS AN ENORMOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND NISSAN FEELS IT IS NOT THEIR ISSUE TO DEAL WITH. *TR

I HAVE AN 2005 MAXIMA 3.5L SL. IT HAS BEEN JERKING GOING INTO SECOND GEAR WHEN ACCELERATING AND ALSO DURING DECELERATION. ONLY WHEN I SLOW DOWN UNDER 20MPH, THEN PRESS THE GAS @ ABOUT 17MPH APPX. THEN IT SHIFTS HARD. THE TRANSMISSIONS IS NOT WANTING TO GO INTO 2ND AND 3RD GEAR. THEN WHEN IT DOES IT JERKS REALLY HARD WHICH IS NOW MESSING UP THE MOTOR MOUNTS. *TT

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR IN TOWN THE CAR STARTED JERKING ERRATICALLY, LAUNCHING FORWARD, HARD JERKS, CAR SHAKING LIKE CRAZY, SMELL BURNING SMELL IN THE CAR, I ALMOST HIT OTHER CARS DUE TO MY CAR JERKING FORWARD. I WAS FRIGHTENED... THE CAR IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE TO SAY THE VERY LEAST. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED YOU ARE DRIVING, IT JERKS AND LAUNCHES FORWARD AT WILL. MY CHILDREN COULD HAVE GOT SERIOUSLY HURT RIDING IN THIS CAR. I PAID CLOSE TO $800 TOGET THIS CAR FIXED IN MAY OF 2013, ONLY TO HAVE IT ALL HAPPEN ALL OVER AGAIN AS THE NISSAN CORPORATION KNEW OF DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSIONS IN THE NISSAN MAXIAMAS. YET, THEY CONTINUE TO SELL THESE "DEATH TRAPS", TO CITIZENS.. THIS IS AN ATROCITY, WHAT THE NISSAN CORPORATION HAS TO DONE IT'S CONSUMERS. *TR

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA SE THAT NOW HAS 73000 MILES ON IT . I AM ENCOUNTERING A PROBLEM THAT SEEMS TO BE WITH THE TRANSMISSION, WHEN CHECKED FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS NOTHING SEEMS TO SHOW UP AND NO LIGHTS ARE ON. THE CAR BUCKS OR JERKS WHEN DRIVING AND WHEN CHANGING GEARS . IT SCRUBS AS IF IT 'S STRUGGLING TO PULL (WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS) HAPPENED TO ME WHILE ENTERING THE INTERSTATE THIS WEEK AND I WAS IN TEARS BECAUSE I WAS IN FEAR FOR MY SAFETY. THE CAR HAS BEEN HAVING THESE ISSUE SINCE AROUND 66000 MILES. I'VE GONE ON LINE AND FIND OUT THAT SEVERAL CONSUMERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND ARE AT A LOSS AS TO HOW TO RESOLVE SINCE IT DOESNT SHOW UP AS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND TO HAVE A CAR (PURCHASED BRAND NEW) TO START HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE IS NOT EXPECTED. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE CARS AND NISSAN SHOULD HAVE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SERIOUS INJURY TO THEIR CONSUMER IS ENCOUNTERED. WHEN I WENT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO TRY AND TALK TO THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THEY JUST BRUSHED ME OFF AND SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO LOOK AT MY CAR AND PUT IT ON THE MACHINE FOR A COST OF OVER 100.00 . THIS I FELL IS USELESS SINCE I'VE ALREADY HAD IT CHECKED AND ONLINE CONSUMERS ARE SAYING THAT NO TRANSMISSION CODE SHOWS UP ON THE MACHINE. THE TRASMISSION FLUID WAS FLUSHED SINCE MY MACHANIC SAID HE DIDNT SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION AS AN ATTEMPT TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM BUT THAT DID NOTHING FOR THE PROBLEM. *TT
