TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY JERKED WHEN SHIFTING GEARS AT ANY SPEED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 25 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE BECAME RESISTANT TO ACCELERATION ATTEMPTS. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR. THERE WERE SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,000.

THIS IS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE, BUT 'TRANSMISSION' WASN'T LISTED AS A CHOICE SO I CHOSE 'POWER TRAIN'. I WAS ACCELERATING ON AN INTERSTATE ONRAMP, PREPARING TO ENTER THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. WHILE ACCELERATING, I NOTICED THE CAR AHEAD OF ME WAS NOT ACCELERATING AT THE SAME RATE SO I LET OFF THE GAS TO SLOW DOWN. THE CAR AHEAD THEN SPED UP, SO I ATTEMPTED TO ASSUME ACCELERATING TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY. AT THAT POINT THE ENGINE QUICKLY REVVED UP AS THOUGH I WERE IN NEUTRAL. THAT LASTED FOR A BRIEF MOMENT, THEN SUDDENLY THE TRANSMISSION SLAMMED INTO GEAR WITH SUCH FORCE THAT THE FRONT TIRES LOST TRACTION AND THE CAR LURCHED HARD TO THE LEFT. MY REACTION WAS TO ADJUST QUICKLY TO THE RIGHT, TO PREVENT CUTTING ACROSS BUSY LANES. I LEFT THE ROADWAY TO THE RIGHT, FORTUNATELY NO COLLISION WITH ANYTHING EXCEPT A CURB. SKIDDED TO A STOP THERE IN THE GRASSY AREA RIGHT OF THE HIGHWAY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO HESITATE WHILE DRIVING 20 TO 40 MPH AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS ENGAGED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED TWENTY MINUTES AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED ON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS WAITING FOR THE RESULTS OF THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

I PURCHASED A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA 2 IN 2009 WITH 35,000 MILES. AT 75,000 MILES I BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD OCCASIONAL JERK WITH CHANGING LOWER GEARS (20-30 MPH) AND THAT IT WOULD VIOLENTLY DOWN SHIFT WHEN SLOWING DOWN FOR A STOP. THESE ACTIONS ONLY OCCUR AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR 20 MINUTES OR MORE. THE DEALERSHIPS SAY THAT IT IS THE TRANSMISSION AND THAT IT WILL COST $4,000 TO REPLACE. THE VEHICLE HAS 80,000 MILES AT THIS POINT AND THAT IS NOT ENOUGH MILES TO WARRANT A NEW TRANSMISSION. IN RESEARCHING THE INTERNET I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A COMMON THEME WITH THE 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA . THIS ISSUES PRESENT SAFETY ISSUES AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BY NISSAN. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. AT 60,000 MILES OR SO, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. ALSO HARD SHIFTS FROM REVERSE TO NEUTRAL AND NEUTRAL TO FIRST. I HAVE MAINTAINED THE TRANSMISSION PROPERLY. IT TURNS OUT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET COMPLAINING ABOUT THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. IT IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT WHICH HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. HELP. *JS

THIS VEHICLE IS VERY UNSAFE. THE TRANSMISSION WILL JERK THE CAR AT ANY GIVEN TIME, WHICH INCREASES THE CHANCES OF AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS THE ONLY ISSUE I AM HAVING WITH THIS CAR. THIS MAY BE ONLY ONE ISSUE HOWEVER IT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE ONE. THE CERTIFIED NISSAN DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT WOULD COST AROUND FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR THIS TO BE CORRECTED INCLUDING PARTS AND LABOR. THERE NEEDS TO BE AN RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE RIGHT AWAY. *JS

THE CAR HAS HESITATED TO REACH THE NEXT GEAR. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS JERK GETTING INTO GEAR. ON A FEW INSTANCES WHEN SHIFTING INTO REVERSE THERE WAS A VERY HARD JERK AND LOUD NOISE. THIS OCCURRED WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR WHICH WAS SCARY. THE CAR HAS SHIFTED HARD WHILE IN TRAFFIC AND HAS TAKEN A WHILE TO PICK UP SPEED TO THE NEXT GEAR. *TR

CAR BEGAN TO JERK FORWARD IN TRAFFIC, AND UPON GOING UPHILL WOULD LOSE POWER, DUE TO TRANSMISSION JERKING AT SPEEDS 35MPH AND UP, RPM WOULD REDLINE AT 55MPH ON FREEWAY, WHICH WOULD CAUSE TRAFFIC BEHIND ME TO GAIN DISTANCE, LEAVING ME NO POWER TO MOVE OR AVOID THEM. WOULD JERK FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE OUT OF DRIVEWAY. TRANSMISSION SENSORS AND TRASMISSION WERE REPLACED TOTAL $3900.00
