2005 Nissan Maxima

I LEASED A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA AND FELL IN LOVE WITH THE CAR SO MUCH THAT I PURCHASED THE CAR WHEN THE LEASE WAS UP. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, I BEGAN SMELLING BURNED OIL. I ALSO NOTICED THE CAR BEGAN TO JERK REALLY HARD GOING FROM PARK TO DRIVE AND GOING FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS GOING BAD AND THEY WERE GOING TO REPLACE IT. THE CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 44K MILES ON IT AT THIS POINT. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION WITH A REMANUFACTURED ONE. THE CAR WAS FINED BUT SEEMED NOT TO HAVE THE SAME POWER. ANYHOW, THREE MONTHS IN TO HAVING THE REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION I NOTICED THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO THE DRIVING GEAR. THE CAR WOULD ONLY MOVE IN REVERSE. THE CAR ONLY HAS 46,524 MILES ON IT. *TW

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS. PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, FOLLOWED BY AN UNINTENDED LUNGE AND FORCEFUL ACCELERATION. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTING IN THE FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD GEARS. THE DRIVER PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THIS TIME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000. UPDATED 03/04/10. *LJ THE CONSUMER ALSO COMPLAINED THAT WHEN ACCELERATING, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD JERK. THE DEALER FOUND INTERNAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS BURNED. ALSO THE FRONT AND REAR ENGINE MOUNTS WERE BROKEN. THE CONSUMER HAD AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE SHIFTING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. 08/11/10. *JB

2005 NISSAN MAXIMA THE TRANSMISSION HAS HARD JERKY SHIFTS BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD (SLAMMING INTO GEAR). ALSO THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS OUT OF GEAR OCCASIONALLY DURING REGULAR DRIVING ALLOWING THE ENGINE TO REV FREELY THEN JERKING BACK INTO GEAR. THIS CAN CAUSE SUDDEN ACCELERATION OR TORQUE STEER. I'M VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS CAR WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR NOW HAS A BURNT OIL TYPE SMELL. (I KNOW THIS IS NOT GOOD). I JUST HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLUSHED AND NEW FLUID PUT IN FOUR MONTHS AGO. WE NOW HAVE 70,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

I HAVE A TRANSMISSION ISSUE WITH MY 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA. I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN APRIL 2009 WITH A LITTLE OVER 36K MILES. AS OF DECEMBER 28, 2009 MY CAR HAS 56K MILES. CAR HAS REALLY BAD JERKING MOTION UP SHIFTING AND DOWN SHIFTING BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEARS EVERY DAY. THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. BROUGHT MAXIMA TO NISSAN DEALER SHIP WHO SUGGESTS TO FLUSH TRANSMISSION AND CHANGE MOTOR MOUNTS WHICH SEEM TO BE A WASTE OF MONEY AND NOT CORRECTING THE REAL PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA AND THE ENGINE KEEPS ON SLIPPING. IT HAPPENS ABOUT 30% OF THE TIME WHEN I'M SHIFTING TO FIRST GEAR. I WHEN THE A TRANSMISSION SHOP AND HAD EVERYTHING CHECKED AND THEY CHANGED MY TRANSMISSION OIL, BUT AFTER ABOUT 2 WEEKS THE SLIPPING STARTED AGAIN. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH 04-06 NISSAN MAXIMAS. THERE ARE A LOT PEOPLE HAVING ENGINE SLIPS WITH THIS CAR. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA SE(AT TRANSMISSION) THAT I BOUGHT BRAND NEW IN 05 I HAVE ABOUT 55K MILES ON IT AND IT IS STARTING TO SHOW SOME TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. WHEN IT IS SHIFTING 1ST TO 2ND GEAR IT HAS A VERY BAD JERK IN TO GEAR AND THE SAME WHEN I SLOW DOWN AND IT DOWN SHIFT FROM 2ND TO 1ST GEAR. AND ALSO WHEN IT IS SHIFTING FORM 3RD TO 4TH OR 4TH TO 5TH SOME TIMES IT DELAYS AND MY CAR GOES INTO NEUTRAL FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS THEN IT SHIFTS REALLY HARD INTO GEAR WITH THAT SAME JERK I HAVE SHIFTING FROM FIRST TO SECOND. ALSO MY CAR SOMETIMES GET STUCK IN 5TH GEAR WHEN IM ON THE FREE WAY, I KNOW THIS BECAUSE AFTER I SLOW DOWN ACCORDING TO TRAFFIC AND THEN ACCELERATE TO GO WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC I HAVE NO ACCELERATING POWER(THIS PROBLEM DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT IT DOES HAPPEN AND HOW I GET MY CAR BACK TO FIRST GEAR IS I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART MY CAR). I TRIED TAKING MY CAR THE A LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT THEY FIRST SUGGEST GETTING A TRANSMISSION OIL CHANGE AND FLUSH. THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AT ALL. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AFTER I GOT MY TRANSMISSION OIL CHANGE DONE. AND NOW THEY ARE SUGGESTING ME TO GET A NEW TRANSMISSION FOR 3000 TO 4000. AND I PERSONALLY CAN NOT AFFORD THAT. PLEASE HAVE A RECALL ON THE 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA SE I HAVE READ MANY NISSAN FORUMS AND MANY NISSAN CUSTOMER HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AN COMPLAINT. ON THIS WEBSITE HTTP://X.NISSANHELP.COM/FORUMS/MAXIMA/9183-05-MAXIMA-TRANSMISSION-SHIFTING-PROBLEMS.HTML NONE OF THESE NISSAN MAXIMA SE HAVE NOT EVEN OVER A 100K MILES ON IN. PLEASE HELP ALL OF US OUT BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY PROBLEM WHEN A CAR GOES IN TO NEUTRAL FOR A FEW SECONDS AND WHEN IT GET STUCK IN 5 GEAR ON THE FREE WAY. *TR

I CURRENTLY HAVE A 2005 MAXIMA WITH ONLY 75,00 MILES. THE CAR JERKS BACK WHEN IT SHIFTS GEARS. IT HAS CAUSED ME TO PULLOVER AND RESTART MY CAR EVERYTIME. THERE HAS BEEN THOUSANDS OF NISSAN MAXIMA OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE AROUND THE 50,000 TO 100,000 MILE RANGE. THERE IS DEFINITELY A DEFECT ON THIS VEHICLE. I HAD TRANSMISSION/ MOTOR MOUNTS REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION MOVED FROM SIDE TO SIDE THAT IT BROKE ALL THE MOUNTS. I HAVE GOTTEN MULTIPLE WHIPLASHES AND CONTINUE WITH BACK PAIN. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP ON 12/7/2009 AND THEY OF COURSE SAID THAT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. THEY SAID IT IS COMMON ON THESE VEHICLES. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP RUNNING AND NOW THEY'RE SAYING THAT IT IS NOT RUNNING. *TR
