2006 Nissan Maxima

THE TRANSMISSION IS FAILING AND NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICES IS RUDE! YOU CAN'T GET NISSAN TO ADMIT THERE ARE FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS ON SOME OF THERE NISSAN CARS/TRUCKS/SUV'S. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A NISSAN AGAIN. IT'S THE SENSORS I WAS TOLD THAT ARE CAUSING THE PROBLEMS. SO, THEN YOU HAVE TO PURCHASE A ENTIRE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE IT CANNOT BE BOUGHT ALONE. THANK YOU, TOO MAD! *TR

FOR ABOUT THE LAST 15-20K MILES MY TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SLIPPING AND CAUSING MY CAR TO JERK AT DIFFERENT TIMES THROUGHOUT MY DAILY DRIVE. MY TRANSMISSION FINALLY QUIT WORKING WHILE TRYING TO ASCEND A SMALL HILL MY PARKING GARAGE. THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SMOKING AND FINALLY STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED AND THE REPAIRS ARE QUOTED AT A MINIMUM FOR $1600. OF COURSE THIS REPAIR IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. IT MAKES NO SENSE THAT ARE CAR WITH BARELY 100K MILES SHOULD HAVE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA IN FEBRUARY 2011..WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR IT APPEARED TO BE IN GOOD RUNNING CONDITION..THERE WERE A FEW VISIBLE PROBLEMS SUCH AS THE HEADLIGHTS,RUNNING LIGHT,POWER SEATS, OR WINDOWS WEREN'T WORKING PROPERLY..THAT PROBLEM WAS FIXED AND THE OWNER AGREED TO FIX THE BRAKES AND THE REMAINDER OF THE PROBLEMS HOWEVER ALMOST A YEAR LATER MY ANTI BRAKE LIGHT IS STILL ON & THE DEALERSHIP HAVE NOT MADE ANY ATTEMPT TO FIX MY CAR. 4MONTHS AFTER HAVING THE CAR THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING AND THE ODOMETER,THE GAS GAUGE GOES BACK & FORTH,THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON AND THE CAR JERKS WHILE DRIVING AND SOMETIMES WHEN SHIFTING THE CAR OUT OF DRIVE INTO REVERSE IT JERKS HARD. I HAVE QUITE A FEW FRIENDS WHO HAVE MAXIMA'S ALSO AND HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR CARS..IT'S OBVIOUS IT'S A DEFECT WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS,SPEED GAUGE & SO MANY OTHER DEFECTS WITH THESE CARS. SOMEWHERE THERE HAS TO BE SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP MYSELF AS WELL AS OTHERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THESE PROBLEMS. I HAVE READ FAR TOO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE PARTICULAR CARS. THE COST TO REPAIR THESE CARS ARE EXPENSIVE & NOT TO MENTION THE COST TO HAVE YOUR TRANSMISSION REPLACED & ON TOP OF ALL THAT YOU ARE STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING YOUR CAR NOTE. HOPEFULLY SOON THERE WILL BE A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!! *TR

I WAS HAPPY DRIVING HOME WITH NEW RIMS AFTER BUYING MY 2006 MAXIMA AND WAS TURNING INTO MY PARKING SPOT AND NEEDED TO BACK-UP BECAUSE OF SPACE RESTRICTIONS. I PLACED THE VEHICLE BACK INTO DRIVE AND IT DID NOT GO INTO GEAR, THERE WAS LAG AND A CLUNK BACK TO 1ST GEAR. HAPPY TO SAD IN LESS THAN 1 SECOND, I BECAME. THE VEHICLE HESITATED AT TIMES AND NOW IT DOES IT MORE OFTEN. EVEN WHEN I DRIVE IT CLUNKS INTO THE LOWER GEARS AND NOW THE CAR FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION DISENGAGES FROM THE MOTOR. THE RPMS FLARE UP TO 8000 THEN CATCH GEAR WHICH MAKES MY TIRES CHIRP CAUSING MY HEAD TO GO BACK BY THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION CHANGE. *TR

I WAS FIRST TOLD THAT THE CATAYLIC CONVERTER WAS GONE, HAD THAT REPLACED, THEN WAS TOLD 2 MOTOR MOUNTS WERE GONE, HAD THEM REPLACED AND STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, WITH THE CAR JERKING WITH A HARD KNOCK INTO 1 AND 2ND GEAR AND NOW IT IS ACCELERATING WHILE DRIVING AND JERKING INTO GEAR. NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL THE TRANSMISSION ON THESE 2006 MAXIMAS THERE ARE SO PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

I BOUGHT THE CAR AFTER IT WAS INSPECTED BY A NISSAN DEALERSIP AT 60,000 MILES. THE INSPECTION SHOWED IT TO BE IN "EXCELLENT" CONDITION. AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, 8,000 MILES LATER THE TRANSMISSION FAILS WHILE I'M DRIVING. AFTER THAT I LEFT AND TOOK THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC WHEN HE INFORMED ME THAT MANY MAXIMA'S FROM 2004-2006 HAD THE SAME ISSUES. I DID RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THE MAJORITY OF THE MAXIMA'S HAD TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTIONS AS EARLY AS 35,000 MILES. I CONTACTED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND EVEN GAVE THEM THE CODES FOR THE MALFUNCTION GIVEN TO ME BY A CERTIFIED MECHANIC. THEY STATED NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS I MUST GET A DIAGNOSIS RAN FROM A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. AFTER I DID THE DIAGNOSIS THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T HELP ME BECAUSE THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, AS IF I DIDN'T KNOW THAT. I TOLD THEM I SHOULD RECEIVE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BEING THAT THEY ARE SELLING A PRODUCT THAT DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY, I TOLD THEM ABOUT MY PAST, VERY OLD, NISSANS WHICH RAN WITHOUT ANY ISSUES EVEN ONE REACHING 200,000 MILES BEFORE I DECIDED TO UPGRADE TO A NEWER MODEL, AND THEY BASICALLY KEPT SAYING THEY COULDN'T HELP ME. THEY NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEY'RE ACTIONS AND DO A RECALL BECAUSE IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE MAXIMAS TRANSMISSION DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. I ALSO HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE DIAGNOSIS, PAY TO TOW THE CAR VARIOUS TIMES DUE TO THEM DEMANDING ME TAKE IT TO THEY'RE DEALER, AND I HAD TO PAY A STORAGE FEE FROM THEY'RE DEALER. I WENT WITH NISSAN BECAUSE I THOUGHT THEY WERE TRUSTWORTHY,I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THEM AT ALL. I AM VERY DISSAPPOINTED IN NISSAN DEALERSHIP BUY A CAMRY OR A ACCORD, YOU'LL BE MUCH BETTER OFF WITHOUT NISSAN STEALING FROM THE POOR. I'VE HAD ABOUT 5 NISSAN'S AND MY FIANCE WAS MAKING PAYMENTS ON A NISSAN, I AM TURNING IT IN AND GETTING A CAMRY. WILL UPDATE AND ADD THE VIN# SOON

MY 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA, HAS 74000 MILES AND HAS STARTED SHOWING SIGNS OF WHAT MAY BE SERIOUS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. 1. TAKES ABOUT 5 SECONDS TO CLICK INTO GEAR AFTER THE SHIFT LEVER IS PUT IN "D" 2. VERY HARD JERKY SHIFTS BETWEEN 1ST TO 2ND AND 2ND TO 1ST AND ACCOMPANIED BY LOUD CLUNKING NOISE. 3. TRANSMISSION SLIPS OUT OF GEAR DURING REGULAR DRIVING ALLOWING THE ENGINE TO REV FREELY THEN JERKING BACK INTO GEAR WITH A LOUD CLUNK. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM, NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON 04-06 MODELS. HERE ARE SOME REVIEWS IN THIS LINK :HTTP://X.NISSANHELP.COM/FORUMS/MAXIMA/9183-05-MAXIMA-TRANSMISSION-SHIFTING-PROBLEMS.HTML ALSO: HTTP://WWW.ABOUTAUTOMOBILE.COM/COMPLAINT/2006/NISSAN/MAXIMA/AUTOMATIC+TRANSMISSION . *TR

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
