2005 Nissan Maxima

MY 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA SE HAS BEEN BUCKING AND JERKING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR SINCE 60,000 (NOW HAS 64,000) ACCELERATING AND BRAKING. IT'S BEEN HAPPENING REGULARLY (EVERY TIME I DRIVE) FOR OVER A MONTH NOW. TRANSMISSION FLUID IS FINE, NOT SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I HAVE HEARD THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH 2004 AND 2005 MODELS. *TR

TIRES ON MY 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA KEEP LOOSING AIR. THE RIMS ARE CHROME (FACTORY) RIMS. I HAVE LOST 2 TIRES BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD 4 OCCURRENCES OF THE LEAKING TIRES. THE CHROME PLATING IS SEPARATING FROM THE RIM AND THE TIRE BEAD STARTS TO LEAK AIR. 2 OF THE 4 OCCURRENCES WERE ON THE HIGHWAY. THE REPAIR SHOPS I HAVE TAKEN THE TIRES/RIMS TO ALL TELL ME THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THEY HAVE SEEN. I AM CURRENTLY WORKING THE PROBLEM WITH NISSAN TO TRY TO GET THEM TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE RIMS. I HAVE TO DATE SPENT APPROX. $750 FOR TIRES REPAIRS. IS THERE A RECORD OF FAILURES OF THIS KIND ON FILE? IF THE PROBLEM IS NOT CORRECTED BY NISSAN WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST I DO NEXT? I FIND IT VERY SCARY TRYING TO CHANGE A TIRE ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS AND FEAR BEING HIT. I CHECK ALL 4 TIRES WEEKLY NOW BUT TWO OF THE LEAKS OCCURRED ON THE HIGH SPEED HIGHWAYS EVEN THOUGH I CHECK THE AIR PRESSURE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER AND SHUT OFF. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE CRANK SENSOR FAILED. THE MECHANIC RESET THE SENSOR. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 03V455000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 68,174.

I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS INDICATED WITH OTHER CONSUMERS. MY CARE JERKS. I HAVE REPLACED THE AXLES, AIR FLOW METER, AC LINE, IGNITION COIL, SPARK PLUGS, ALTERNATOR, ETC. CURRENTLY, THE TIMING CHANGE AND TENSIONER NEEDS REPAIRING, THE AXLES AGAIN FROM THE JERKING. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER WHO CAN NOT AFFORD ALL OF THESE REPAIRS. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER MAXIMA. I ALSO HAVE HAD A DIAGNOSTIC AND IT REVEALED 1 PROBLEM AND ONCE FIX I STILL CONTINUE TO HAVE MORE PROBLEMS ON TOP OF THE JERKING. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT ADJUSTER SWITCH FAILED AND CAUSED THE SEAT TO OVERHEAT. THE FAILURE ALSO AFFECTED THE STEERING COLUMN AND IT CAN NO LONGER BE ADJUSTED UP, DOWN, OR SIDEWAYS. IT REMAINS IN THE LOCKED POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE HEATED SEAT SWITCH WAS THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE SWITCH AT THE COST OF $210. THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT PROVIDE REIMBURSEMENT BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY COMPLAINTS. THEY FURTHER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V512000 (SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:POWER ADJUST). THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 88,000. UPDATED 07/15/08. *LJ THE DEALER REPLACED THE SEAT SWITCH. THE SUNROOF ONLY WORKED IN VENT MODE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE SUNROOF SWITCH. UPDATED

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA WITH APPROXIMATELY 63,000MILES. I HAVE BEEN HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, MAINLY JERKING GOING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR AND VICE VERSA WHEN DOWNSHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD. I HAVE GOTTEN IT INSPECTED AND TRANSMISSION FLUSH WAS DONE, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSIST. BEING THAT MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, NISSAN IS ASKING FOR $6000 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM.
