2006 Nissan Maxima

AFTER FILING MY FIRST COMPLAINT WITH YOU FOR THE TRANSMISSION DEFECT OF MY 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA A YEAR AGO, I HAVE DISCOVERED AT LEAST 1000 COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME DANGEROUS AND VERY COSTLY DEFECT FOR THAT TRANSMISSION. MY ORIGINAL ODI NUMBER IS 10367294. IT IS MIND BOGGLING TO ME AND MY FELLOW 2004-2006 MAXIMA OWNERS THAT NO DEFECT INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN LAUNCHED. JUST BECAUSE (MAYBE) NO DEATHS OR SERIOUS ACCIDENTS HAVE NOT BEEN PUBLICIZED DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT IS NOT A TRUE SAFETY CONCERN. PLEASE TAKE THE 1000 COMPLAINTS THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED SERIOUSLY AND AT LEAST LAUNCH AN INVESTIGATION. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTINUED TO SHIFT EXTREMELY HARD WHEN CHANGING GEARS. WHEN DRIVING FOR OVER A PERIOD OF THIRTY MINUTES, THE VEHICLE WOULD DOWNSHIFT EXTREMELY HARD AND ROUGH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED REPLACING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD VIOLENTLY JERK AND HE WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT GEARS SAFELY. THE DEALER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE WITH A FAULTY VALVE BODY IN THE TRANSMISSION AND ADVISED THAT THE CONTACT SHOULD REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE NOR WAS THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 124,000 AND THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

MY 06 MAXIMA SL IS JERKING ON THE UPSHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND AND 2ND TO 3RD, SOMETIMES EVEN ON THE DOWNSHIFT. THE JERKING IS SO UNPREDICTABLE AND VERY DANGEROUS. IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR A FEW WEEKS NOW. I HAD MY CO WORKERS IN MY CAR AT MY LUNCH BREAK AND THE CAR WAS COMING TO A STOP SLOWING DOWN FROM 15 MPH AND THE CAR JUMPED FORWARD AFTER DOWNSHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 1ST GEAR. MY CAR JUMPED INTO THE INTERSECTION AND WAS ALMOST HIT BY A FORD 150 TRUCK. LUCKILY THE TRUCK SWERVED OUT OF THE WAY AND IT SCARED EVERYONE IN THE CAR. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AFTER RUNNING A DIAGNOSTICS. THEY RECOMMENDED ME CHANGING MY TRANSMISSION FUEL. I CHANGED MY TRANSMISSION FUEL AND THE PROBLEM IS STILL HAPPENING. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE A RECALL. AFTER READING ONLINE OF ALL THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM I FEEL IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE I END UP IN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT DUE TO THE JERKING OF THE TRANSMISSION HURTING MY SELF OR OTHER PEOPLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE BEFORE SHIFTING GEARS. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK WHENVER THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO WAS NOT ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WAS VIOLENTLY JERKING AND SWITCHING BETWEEN GEARS. THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING A SERVICE APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED NOR WAS THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 73,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

6/10/2011 THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA FAILED WITHOUT WARNING WHICH PREVENTED THE CAR FROM ACCELERATING. THIS WAS WHILE ON THE TURNPIKE IN PA WITH TRAFFIC MERGING AND MOVING AT SPEEDS OF UP TO 75MPH. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT OR CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH I SEE TRANSMISSION ISSUES ARE VERY COMMON FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL CAR THROUGH THE PRODUCTION YEARS OF 04-07. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I CAN SEE IT LEADING UP TO AND INCLUDING DEATH DUE TO AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION UNDER WARRANTY, BUT I AM AGAIN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY TRANSMISSIONS SHOWING SIGNS OF FAILURE AGAIN. TO DATE, MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR A TOTAL OF 32 DAYS FOR THE SAME TRANSMISSIONS ISSUE. *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WAS VIOLENTLY JERKING. WHEN SHE WAS ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT BETWEEN GEARS, THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL. THE DEALER MADE TWO ATTEMPTS TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING A RESPONSE. NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 98,987. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT 85,000 MILES. CAR WAS VERY JERKY AT LOW SPEEDS BOTH WHEN ACCELERATING AND DECELERATING AND OFTEN WOULDN'T ACCELERATE FROM A STOPPED POSITION (DANGEROUS WHEN ANTICIPATING TIME TO MAKE LEFT TURNS ACROSS TRAFFIC). I OFTEN THOUGHT I WOULD BE REAR ENDED (DUE TO THE CAR NOT ACCELERATING) OR WOULD REAR END SOMEONE BECAUSE OF THE JUMPING OF THE CAR.
