2005 Nissan Maxima

I NOTIFIED NISSIAN HEADQUARTERS THAT I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY TRANSMISSION. THE REGIONAL REPRESENTIVES FOR NISSIAN HEADQUATERS INDICATED TO ME THAT I NEED TO TAKE MY 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT PLACE ON THE DIGNOSTIC MACHINE WHICH COST ME 95.00. NISSAN DEARLERSHIP RESULTS WAS A BAD TRANSMISSION. THE REGIONAL REPRESENTIVE GAVE ME A FILE NUMBER(6763040). I INDICATE TO THE REGIONAL REPRESENTIVE THAT MY CAR JERKS IN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. THE RPM GOES UP WITH A HARD THUMP SOUND. ON 2-9-2010, I PICKED UP MY DAUGHTER FROM DAYCARE AND WAS TURNING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND A BIG TRUCK ALMOST HIT MY CAR BECAUSE OF THE CAR HESITATE TO GO INTO 2ND GEAR CAUSING IT TO SLOW DOWN WHILE I TURNING INTO ON GOING TRAFFIC. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NISSAN HEADQUATERS KNOWS IT. THE RESULT FROM HEADQUATERS CAME BACK FROM THE REGIONAL REPRESENTIVE AND SHE INDICATE NO, WE WILL NOT FIX YOUR CAR, I EXPLAIN TO HER THAT I KNOW MY CAR HAS 90,000 MILES BUT IT IS A NISSAN AND THESE CARS SUPPOSE TO BE WELL BUILT. I ASK HER FOR A GOOD WILL FIX AND SHE STILL INDICATE NO WE WILL NOT FIX YOUR CAR. THE REGIONAL REPRESENTIATIVE QUOTED, THAT WE WILL ONLY FIX CARS ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASE. I TOLD THEM THAT THEY NEED TO FIX ALL THE CARS BECAUSE THEY KNOW MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THAT PARTICALR YEAR NISSIAN MAXIMA. REGIONAL REP SAID WE WILL TRADE YOUR CAR FOR A NEW AND TAKE 4% OFF AND I TOLD THEM I CANNOT AFFORD A NEW CAR. NISSAN COMPANY KNOW THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION BUT THEY ARE TRYING TO GET CONSUMER TO BUY A NEW CAR TO MAKE PROFIT OF THE CONSUMER, INSTEAD OF FIXING THE PROBLEM THAT THEY KNOW OCCURS. I DO NOT TRUST ANY MORE NISSAN CARS SO WHY ARE THEY FORCING ME TO BUY ANOTHER. THIS IS UNCONSTITIONAL!

IMPROPER BRAKING FUNCTION WITH ABS IN 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA - STARTED WITH NOISE AND "SOFT" BRAKES. IT CONTINUED TO A POINT WHERE THE ABS WAS INCORRECTLY BEING ACTIVATED (EVEN WHEN THE CAR WAS OFF). IT SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO A SPEED SENSOR IN THE WHEELS. THIS CONTROLS THE ABS ACTIVATION AND THE SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER. THE SPEEDOMETER HAS STOPPED WORKING. AND DUE TO THE ABS BEING UNDER CONSTANT STRAIN, THE ABS CONTROL MODULE IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE REPLACED.

2005 NISSAN MAXIMA STARTED HAVING A DELAY IN GOING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE AND ALSO JERKING INTO GEARS. EMAILED NISSAN AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE TO NISSAN TO HAVE CHECKED. CALLED NISSAN SERVICE DEPT AND WAS ADVISED THAT IT'S NOT WORTH BRINGING IN AND PAYING TO HAVE CHECKED WHEN YOU ALREADY KNOW THERE IS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. WAS ADVISED IT'S AROUND $4700 TO REPLACE.

2005 NISSAN MAXIMA TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. TRANSMISSION JERKS WHEN SHIFTING IN LOW GEARS OR GOING FROM REVERSE TO FIRST GEAR. ENGINE REVS HIGH AND THEN THE CAR SLAMS INTO GEAR, THIS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS INCLUDING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS PROBLEM CAUSES THE CAR TO SURGE FORWARD WHEN IT OCCURS. THIS PROBLEM STARTED AROUND 75K MILES ON THE CAR. REPORTS FROM SEVERAL TRANSMISSION SHOPS INDICATE THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE 04 AND 05 MAXIMAS. I HAVE LOGGED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS WITH NO RESOLUTIN AT THIS POINT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE JERKED AND SLAMMED INTO GEAR ON ITS OWN. THE DRIVER PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO TRAVEL. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90000. UPDATED 05/11/10. *LJ

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA THAT IS HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I PURCHASED THE CAR WITH 97,000 MILES A YEAR AGO. SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH HARD SHIFTS- SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR AS WELL AS A HARD BANGING SOUND WHEN IT FINDS THE RIGHT GEAR. I HAVE CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION AND SEVERAL OTHER PARTS, ONLY TO ENCOUNTER THE SAME PROBLEMS. THERE SEEMS TO BE A BIG PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN THESE CARS. RESEARCH ON-LINE SHOWED THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

WE BOUGHT A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA BRAND NEW. LAST YEAR 2009 THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SLIP AND THE AIR CONDITIONER WENT OUT. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE AIR WOULD BE $1400 SO WHEN THE TRANNY WAS A PROBLEM I KNEW NOT TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE CAR WOULD JERK AND SLAM INTO GEAR. I HAD MY 2 CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND IT COMPLETELY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO A LOCAL TRANSMISSION PLACE AND WAS TOLD I WOULD NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION FOR $3000. THE CAR HAS BEEN BABIED AND SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES. IT IS GARAGED KEPT AND ALL MAINTENANCE DONE. THE CAR WAS LESS THAN 4 YEARS OLD WHEN ALL THESE PROBLEMS STARTED. AFTER SEEING ALL THE COMPLAINTS I BELIEVE NISSAN SHOULD RECALL AND REFUND THIS PARTICULAR TRANSMISSION. MY MECHANIC CANNOT GET ANY HELP FROM NISSAN AND IT STILL HAS ISSUES. MY CHILDREN AND I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED THE WAY THE CAR LOST ALL GEARS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO PULL OVER. THERE ARE MORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA TRANSMISSION THAN TOYOTA AND LOOK WHAT THEY ARE DOING. DO PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE FOR NISSAN TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY? I WANT TO BE INCLUDED IN ANY AND ALL CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS THAT PERTAIN TO THIS ISSUE. I STILL OWN MONEY ON THIS LEMON. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA FROM A DEALERSHIP NOT AFFILIATED WITH NISSAN. THE IS NOT 30 DAYS OLD AND IT JERKS FROM 1ST TO 3RD AS IF I HAVE A STIFF SHIFT,THE ENGINE WILL REV UP WHILE GOING 30-40MPH AND JERK FORWARD ALMOST CAUSING ME TO ALMOST REAR END ANOTHER VEHICLE. AND AFTERWARDS I CAN SMELL THIS METAL/CHEMICAL ODOR ACCUMULATING IN THE VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE HAS SEVERE SHIFTING PROBLEMS. *TR
