2006 Nissan Maxima

I DROVE TO WORK WHICH IS ABOUT 10 MILES FROM MY RESIDENCE,PARKED TO RETRIEVE SOME PAPREWORK THEN RETURNED TO MY VEHICLE. I STARTED MY VEHICLE AND PLACED THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE,WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES AS REQUIRED WHILE CHANGING GEARS.THERE WAS A BIG TIME DELAY BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGED INTO THE DRIVE POSITION.THERE ALSO WAS A LOUD AND VERY HARD "BANG" CAUSING ME TO BE FORCED REARWARD IN THE SEAT AND THE VEHICLE JUMPED FORWARD, AS IF THERE WAS NOT A FOOT ON THE BRAKES. AT THIS POINT THE VEHICLE IS ENGAGED IN THE DRIVE POSITION. I SPOKE TO A REPRESENTATIVE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW IN APRIL OF 2006,ALL THEY HAD TO SAY IS I MUST PAY $109 FOR A DIAGNOSIS OF THE PROBLEM AND HOPEFULLY THEY COULD DUPLICATE IT. I ALSO SPOKE TO NISSAN AMERICA CONSUMER HOTLINE AND THEY ALSO SAID THAT I MUST HAVE IT DEALT WITH THROUGH THE DEALER, AND THEY WILL SEE WHAT THEY COULD DO .AT THE TIME OF THIS ENTRY,THE VEHICLE HAS 55000 MILE EXACT. I HAVE BEEN ON NUMEROUS SITE ONLINE AND SAW COMPLIANTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM, WITH THE TRANSMISSION AS A KNOWN FAULT. TRANSMISSIONS FROM NISSAN BETWEEN THE YEARS OF 2004 TO 2007.ALL THE COMPLAINANTS STATES THEY HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY SOLUTION FROM NISSAN AMERICA. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE TO WORK AND I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS AND THE CAR RPM WENT UP BUT MY CAR DID NOT MOVED. ABOUT 10 SECONDS LATER IT JERK REALLY HARD INTO GEAR AND MOVED. I GOT SCARED BECAUSE CARS WERE IN FRONT OF ME AND I DIDN'T KNOW IF MY CAR WAS GOING TO RUN RIGHT IN THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM THE WALDORF, MD NISSAN DEALERSHIP. WHEN I WAS PURCHASING THIS CAR MY MAIN CONCERN WAS SAFETY. I WAS PREGNANT AND I HAD TWO OTHER SMALL CHILDREN THAT I TRANSPORT BACK AND FORTH FROM SCHOOL. NOW I DON'T EVEN FEEL SAFE TO HAVE MY CHILDREN IN MY CAR. I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BOTTLE IN MY CAR OR BETTER YET GET ANOTHER TRANSMISSION DUE TO NISSAN BUILDING THESE CARS POORLY. ONE I AM A SINGLE WORKING PARENT TRYING TO PROVIDE FOR MY FAMILY. AND NOW I AM STUCK WITH A CAR THAT HAS KNOWN TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I KNOW THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE SITUATION AND THIS IS VERY UNPROFESSIONAL FOR THEM NOT TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WHAT IF ONE OF MY CHILDREN WHERE HURT DUE TO THE CAR JERKING OR DOWN SHIFTING WHEN IT ISN'T SUPPOSE TO. WHAT IF MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE LOST THEIR LIFE DUE TO NISSAN NOT WANTING TO FIX THE ISSUE THAT SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT. I PRAY THAT SOMEONE AT NISSAN WILL OWN UP TO THIS AND FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. AND IF IT TAKES MYSELF AND OTHERS TO KEEP CALLING OR TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP AND COMPLAIN OR BETTER YET CALL THE LOCAL NEWS AND HAVE THEM COVER A STORY BECAUSE NO ONE WOULD LIKE TO SEE A MOTHER OR HER CHILDREN GET HURT BY A POOR BUILT VEHICLE!!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SLIP OUT OF GEAR AND EXHIBIT A LOUD THUMPING SOUND. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WAS SWITCHING GEARS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE MAINLY OCCURRED IN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR BUT ALSO IN THIRD AND FORTH. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLUID FLUSHED BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE CONTACT ALSO HAD THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE REPLACED BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 138,000.

I AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR JERKING PROFUSELY WHEN SWITCHING GEARS. IT WILL DO THIS AS WELL WHEN I COME TO A STOP AND THEN TAKE OFF. THERE IS SOMETHING DEFINITELY WRONG WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL/YEAR VEHICLE. I LOVE MY CAR BUT AFTER SEEING THROUGHOUT THE INTERNET ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, I DO NOT BELIEVE MY NEXT PURCHASE WILL BE A NISSAN. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE RECALLING AND FIXING THIS ISSUE. MAYBE FAMILIES THAT HAVE LOST LOVED ONES WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE SHOULD INVESTIGATE THE CAUSE OF ACCIDENT A LITTLE FURTHER. *TR

MY CAR WAS BOUGHT AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN 2011 OF DECEMBER, IN JANUARY I NOTICED THE CAR JERKING AND SHIFTING WHILE DRIVING 20 TO 30 MILES. SO I TOOK THE CAR BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WILL ONLY GIVE ME ANOTHER CAR ONLY IF THE PROBLEM IS IN THE TRANSMISSION, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE PROBLEM IS MY MOTOR MOUNT IS BROKEN, AND THEY DON'T COVER ANYTHING OUTSIDE THE TRANSMISSION OR ENGINE ONLY THE INSIDE.. THE TOTAL AMOUNT TO FIX WAS 500 BUT I HAD NO MONEY TO DO IT.THEY GAVE ME AN OPTION OF TAKING AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH IT WAS EXPENSIVE FOR ME SO I SHOPPED FOR A WARRANTY AND I GOT A FULL BUMPER TO BUMPER FOR A CHEAPER PRICE THAN WHAT THEY GAVE ME. IT TOOK ME 3MONTHS TO GO BACK TO THE DEALER WITH A NEW WARRANTY THEY FIXED THE MOTOR MOUNT BUT THE ISSUE IS STILL THEIR. A NISSAN TECHNICIAN TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE THEY SUGGESTED THAT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND THERE'S NO WAY I'M WILLING TO GIVE THEM MY CAR AGAIN TO FIX BECAUSE IT TOOK THEM ALONG TIME TO REALIZE THE PROBLEM TELLING ME TO FIX YOUR CAR WE NEED TO GET IT OUT OF IDLE AND EMISSION NEEDS TO BE CHECKED THAT'S WHAT THEY WERE SAYING BEFORE THEY REALIZE ITS A TRANSMISSION..I LOVE NISSAN MAXIMA BUT IN ORDER TO KEEP A CUSTOMER LIKE ME TO STAY LOYAL PLEASE FIX THE ISSUE AND DO THE RIGHT THING BY RECALLING THE VEHICLES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING 45MPH AND CAME TO A RED LIGHT WHICH I STOPPED AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I PLACED MY FOOT ON THE GAS AND MY NISSAN WOULD NOT GET PAST 3RD GEAR AND JERKED REALLY BAD BEFORE IT WOULD ACCELERATE. THIS HAPPENS NOW ALL THE TIME AND I EVEN HAD TRANSMISSION FLUID REPLACED IN MY CAR WHICH HAS NOT PREVENTED THE ISSUE THAT I AM STILL HAVING FAULTY TRANSMISSION. *TR
