2006 Nissan Maxima

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 35 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER THE FAILURE BUT THE FAILURE REPEATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 108,000 .

THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS, JUMPS OUT OF GEAR BETWEEN GEARS. OFTEN IT WILL GO TO SHIFT THEN IT REVS UP NOT IN GEAR INSTEAD OF SHIFTING THEN AFTER A FEW SECONDS IT SLAMS HARD INTO GEAR. THIS IS NOT A DAILY CONSTANT ISSUE IT IS RANDOM AND SOMETIMES WILL GO WEEKS BETWEEN HAVING THE ISSUE POP UP. WHEN IT POPS UP IT WILL HAPPEN DURING THAT ENTIRE DRIVE. THE NEXT TIME IT IS DRIVEN EVEN THAT SAME DAY EVEN JUST 15 MINUTES LATER IT WILL NOT HAVE SHIFTING ISSUES SOMETIMES IT DOES. THERE ARE MANY MANY MANY CUSTOMERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH NISSAN TRANSMISSIONS. *TR

MY 2006 MAXIMA'S TRANSMISSION GAVE OUT AT 74,000 MILES OF NORMAL USE. THERE ARE 1,000'S OF OTHERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM AND MOST HAVE HAD TO PAY AROUND $3,000 OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. THERE ARE SOME THAT WERE FORTUNATE TO HAVE ALL OR MOST OF THE COSTS PAID BY NISSAN, EVEN WHEN THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED. NISSAN REFUSES TO ASSIST WITH MY REPAIR STATING THAT I DIDN'T TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR IT'S REGULAR MAINTENANCE. BBB AUTO LINE STATES THAT THE VEHICLE IS TOO OLD FOR THEM TO ASSIST IN MY REPAIR COST RECOVERY. THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE WITH THIS GENERATION OF MAXIMA AND THERE SHOULD BE A FORCED RECALL, NO MATTER THE COST TO THE MANUFACTURER. WE PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR THEIR FLAGSHIP MODEL AND WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY EVEN MORE FOR THEIR FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS. ALSO, BROKEN ENGINE MOUNTS SEEM TO BE HIGH ON THE LIST OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE, WHICH MY MAXIMA ALSO HAS. VERY FRUSTRATING. NEED TO FIND HELP IN FILING A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST NISSAN. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA, BOUGHT BRAND NEW FULLY LOADED CAR IN EARLY 2006. AFTER 80,000 MILES ON IT, THE CAR STARTED JERKING ON ME. HAD TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGED BUT IT DIDNT HELP. RECENTLY CAME TO KNOW THAT TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, A $5000 EXPENSE. THE CAR STARTS JERKING WHEN IT IS HOT OR HAVE BEEN DRIVEN IN CITY FOR ATLEAST 15-20 MINS. THE SHIFTING OF GEARS IS DIFFICULT. IT HAS STOPPED ON ME MANY TIMES WHILE DRIVING, A HIGH RISK WHEN I AM ON HIGHWAYS. WHEN MERGING ON HIGHWAY, THE INCREASE IN SPEED TAKES LONGER THAN USUAL, SO MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO MERGE. PLS RECALL THIS, BECAUSE IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND LOT OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS. *TR

2006 NISSAN MAXIMA TRANSMISSION KEEPS SLIPPING AND JERKING IN-BETWEEN GEARS. THERE IS A GROWLING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THERE IS A SQUEAKING COMING FROM THE FRONT DRIVERSIDE SHOCK. TOOK TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT INSPECTED AND ENDED UP HAVING TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT AND THEY COULDN'T "RECONSTRUCT THE NOISES FROM THE SHOCK" AND THEY COULDN'T IDENTIFY THE WHAT WAS CAUSING THE NOISE FROM THE ENGINE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE GAGES ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL BEGAN TO READ ERRATIC. SPEEDOMETER, FUEL AND TACHOMETER DRIFTED BETWEEN ZERO AND THIER MAXIMUMS. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BACKGROUND LIGHTING ALSO BEGAN TO FLICKER. THE VEHICLE MADE IT HOME. AT HOME THE DASH WAS TAPPED A FEW TIMES TO SEE IF IT WAS A LOOSE CONNECTION. UPON DOING THIS, SOME OF THE GAGES BEGAN TO READ NORMAL, WHILE OTHERS BEGAN TO READ ERRATIC. THE VEHICLE WOULD START AND ALL THE MAJOR SYSTEMS APPEARED TO OPERATE NORMAL; OTHER THAN THE GAGES AND BACKGROUND LIGHTING, WHICH WERE STILL UNRELIABLE. THE NEXT DAY, 5/26/11, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN INTO A PARKING LOT THE GAGES AND LIGHTING STARTED ACTING ERRATIC, EXCEPT THIS TIME SMOKE APPEARED FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE STA.TUS DISPLAY SCREEN (THE SCREEN IN THE CENTER OF THE DASH BOARD USED TO GIVE INFORMATION ON TIME, MAINT, TEMPERATURE). THE ENGINE WAS SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY. THE PROBLEM WAS FOUND AND FIXED BY A DEALER. THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY A COIN THAT HAD FALLEN INTO A GAP THAT WAS FORMED BY DESIGN OR MISALINEMENT OF THE DISPLAY SCREEN AND THE SHELF AT THE BASE OF THE SCREEN. THE SCREEN IS RECESSED 3.125 INCHES AND DECLINED AT AN ANGLE OF APPROX 18 DEG. THIS ALLOWS ANY SMALL OBJECTS TO MIGRATE TO THE DISPLAY SCREEN GAP. THE GAP MEASURES .114 INCHES ACROSS THE BASE OF THE DISPLAY. THE COIN (A DIME) CONTINUED DOWNWARD UNTIL IT CAME IN CONTACT WITH AN ENCLOSED PRINTED CIRCUIT (PC). THE PLASTIC ENCLOSURE HAS A SMALL SLOT(.3125 X .78125) ON TOP WHICH ALLOWED THE COIN TO DROP IN AND SHORT OUT THE PC. THE REPLACEMENT PART DOESN'T HAVE THE SLOT. TWO SMALL HOLES BURNT THROUGH THE PLASTIC ENCLOSURE. P/N OF PC IS 277607Y00A/UPR/5804. WILL FURNISH PHOTOS UPON REQUEST.

ON THURSDAY, MAY 20TH OUR 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA QUIT RUNNING. THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AS I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 75MPH ON A FREEWAY OVERPASS. WITHIN 60 SECONDS OF THE LIGHT COMING ON THE ENGINE STARTING MAKING A HORRIBLE NOISE. I WAS ABLE TO CLEAR THE FREEWAY BEFORE IT QUIT RUNNING. IN THE CAR WERE ME (THE DRIVER), MY HUSBAND (FRONT PASSENGER SEAT) AND OUR 8 MONTH OLD NIECE (STRAPPED IN A REAR FACING CARSEAT). CAR WAS EVENTUALLY TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALER WHERE THEY STATE THEY BELIEVE THE OIL PUMP IS DEFECTIVE. CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000 MILES AND IS OUT OF WARRANTY. NO PREVIOUS ENGINE ISSUES OR REPAIRS HAVE BEEN NOTICED. AT THIS POINT, NISSAN IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ENGINE FAILURE. *TR
