2006 Nissan Maxima

AFTER READING MULTIPLE REVIEWS, IT LOOKS LIKE MY CAR IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE FREEWAYS AND SUDDENLY MY CAR WOULD SHUT DOWN. ON THE FREEWAY. WITH 2 BABIES IN THE CAR. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN MULTIPLE TIMES AND NOTHING SEEMS TO FIX THE ISSUES. IN ADDITION, MY CAR JERKS MULTIPLE TIMES AND WONT KICK INTO GEAR WHILE DRIVING AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON". *TR

MY INITIAL INCIDENT OCCURRED SOMETIME IN DECEMBER, AFTER PUTTING MY VEHICLE IN TO GEAR (D) FROM PARK POSITION IT HESITATED AND THEN IT FELT AS IF MY WHOLE CAR JUMPED. I STEPPED ON THE GAS TO SLOWLY ACCELERATE AND THE CARS ENGINE REVVED UP BUT THE CAR DID NOT MOVE. IT KIND OF SCARED ME. IT CONTINUED TO DO SO ON MY DRIVE HOME. IT CONTINUES TO DO SO OFF AND ON PREDOMINATELY WHEN MY CAR HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WARM UP. AFTER DOING SOME ONLINE RESEARCH AS TO WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THE ISSUE IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS WITH THIS SAME MATTER. IT IS BELIEVED THAT THE TRANSMISSIONS INSTALLED IN NISSAN MAXIMAS ARE FAULTY AND NISSAN REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. IT IS VERY HAZARDS TO BE DRIVING LIKE THIS AND IT IS A VERY COSTLY FIX FOR A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING THIS EARLY ON OR AT ALL WITH A VEHICLE. *TR

EVERY TIME I PUT CAR IN GEAR IT JUMPS AND FEELS LIKE CAR FALLING APART. AS I AM DRIVING AND GET UP TO 50 MILES PER HOUR THE CAR WILL JERK. I HAVE REPLACED MOTOR MOUNTS, HAD TRANSMISSION FLUSHES, TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGES, NEW TIRES AND CAR STILL JERKS AND TRANNY AND GEAR SHAFTS ARE FAULTY. THE ENTIRE BODY OF CAR FEELS LIKE IT'S COMING APART. *TR

TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND BUCKING SO HARD THAT IT FEELS AS IF YOU EITHER HIT SOMEONE OR SOMEONE HAS HIT YOU FROM BEHIND. CAUSES YOU TO LOSE SPEED AND MAKES THE CARS BEHIND YOU TO SLOW DOWN TO AVOID REAR ENDING COLLISION. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS LIKE THIS IT GIVES YOU A VERY UNEASY FEELING AS TO WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT TO CAUSE YOU TO BECOME A HAZARD AND PUT YOURSELF AND OTHERS IN DANGER. THE VEHICLE HAS GONE THROUGH 2 REBUILT TRANSMISSIONS ALREADY THIS YEAR ALONE AND THE PROBLEM IS STARTING TO RESURFACE AGAIN. *TR

I WAS A PROUD OWNER OF A 2006 MAXIMA BUT NOW I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED. ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO, MY CAR STARTED JERKING WHEN SWITCHING GEARS, ACCELERATING, PARKING, AND SLOWING DOWN. I WENT TO NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY TRANSMISSION HAD INTERNAL FAILURES AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT $4200.00!!! MY CAR ONLY HAS 73,000 MILES SHOULD NOT NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES AND HAVE FILED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST NISSAN BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT THEIR TRANSMISSIONS ARE MESSED UP AND THEY ARE TRYING NOT TO OWN UP TO IT. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE WHEN IT JERKS VIOLENTLY OR STALLS, YOU LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR WHICH IS VERY SCARY AND TERRIFYING. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN AGAIN!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED BY THE CONTACT APPLYING THE PARKING BRAKE, DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND POWERING OFF THE VEHICLE SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT A SPIRAL CABLE HARNESS AND THE CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE INCIDENT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC CAR ACCELERATED FORWARD AND STOPPED .NO GEARS NOT EVEN REVERSE ,MY WIFE AND GRANDDAUGHTER WERE STUCK IN MIDDLE OF 4LANE WITH NO WAY TO GO ANYWHERE.NISSAN DOESN'T THINK THEY ARE LIABLE .NOW I HAVE TO PAY 2700 DOLLARS FOR A TRANSMISSION THAT HAS ONLY 82000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE OWNED 4 NISSANS IN PAST ,BUT NO MORE. *TR

WHILE IN 3RD GEAR GOING INTO 4TH, IT WOULD HESITATE FOR A GOOD 2 SECONDS THEN POP INTO 4TH. IT ALSO STARTED DOING THE SAME THING WHILE GOING INTO REVERSE FROM DRIVE AND VICE VERSA. I JUST THINK IT'S QUITE SUSPICIOUS THAT THESE PROBLEMS I'VE BEEN HAVING WITH THIS CAR JUST STARTED HAPPENING WITHIN A COUPLE THOUSAND MILES OF MY WARRANTY ENDING. *TR
