2006 Nissan Maxima

I PURCHASED MY 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA SL ON 4/12/11 AND TWO DAYS LATER STARTED HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AT 113000 MILES. ACCORDING TO A LOCAL TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP AND AAMCO, I WILL NEED A NEWLY DESIGNED TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY (APPROX $1500), NEW, OR REBUILT TRANSMISSION ($3000-$4000). CAR JERKS INTO 1ST GEAR AT LOW SPEED. WHEN LOOKING ONLINE I SAW NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS EXACTLY LIKE MINE, INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY. THERE APPEARS TO BE AN OBVIOUS SYSTEMATIC DEFECT BY NISSAN. THIS PROBLEM COULD EASILY OCCUR IF ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE OR PULLING INTO TRAFFIC ON A FREEWAY. THIS PROBLEM ALSO QUALIFIES AS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS LIVES COULD BE LOST. NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THE 2004-2006 YEAR MODEL MAXIMAS TO ENSURE NOONE LOSES THEIR LIFE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT GEARS, THE ENGINE EXHIBITED AN ABNORMAL INCREASE IN RPMS. ALSO, THE GEAR WOULD NOT ENGAGE AND HAD TO BE SHIFTED WITH ABRUPT FORCE. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC AND ADVISED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND WOULD EITHER NEED TO BE REBUILT OR REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,000 AND THE CURRENT 90,221.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO JERK VIOLENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THE FAILURE RECURRED AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS INTERMITTENTLY BUT WOULD JERK VIOLENTLY WHILE DECELERATING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE TRANSMISSION WAS FLUSHED. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000.

2006 NISSAN MAXIMA, WHEN TRANSMISSION IS WARMED UP CAR HARD SHIFTS FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR. HARD JERK WHEN DECELERATING OR ACCELERATING AFTER A SMALL DECELERATION AS WELL. BOUGHT THE CAR USED WITH 67K MILES ON IT AND PROBLEM STARTED AROUND 90K. HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR SOLUTIONS AND HAVE COME ACROSS THOUSANDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. SEEMS NISSAN HAS NO CLUE AS TO WHY THE PROBLEM OCCURS AND ONLY SOLUTION FOUND IS SPENDING 3-5K DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 25 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLIP GEARS AND STALLED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FRONT BRAKES WERE WEARING PREMATURELY AT VERY LOW MILEAGE AND WERE REPLACED THREE TIMES WITHIN ONE YEAR. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

MY 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA SE WITH 84,000 MILES ON IT IS HAVING MAJOR AUTO TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, ESPECIALLY JERKING INTO FIRST GEAR WHEN SLOWING DOWN, OR STARTING TO GO. I TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST. NOTHING SHOWS UP ON THE COMPUTER SCANS, INDICATING THE TRANSMISSION HAS TO BE REPLACED OR REBUILT. LOOKING ONLINE, THIS APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM EXPERIENCED BY MANY OTHER PEOPLE, INCLUDING OTHER MODEL YEARS USING THE SAME TRANSMISSION. THE COST TO REPAIR IS APPROX $3000.00, AND APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, GENERALLY BECOMING OBVIOUS AT ABOUT 65,000 MILES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE JERKED FORWARD ABNORMALLY. THE CONTACT STATED THERE WAS A POPPING SOUND COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THE CONTACT STATED THE FAILURE WAS CONSTANT AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS PROCEEDING IN MY CAR ON A MAJOR STREET ALWAYS TRAVELED BY EIGHTEEN WHEELER TRUCKS WHEN MY TRANSMISSION FAILED IN MY CAR. 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE EIGHTEEN WHEELER DRIVER SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES MISSING ME MY INCHES SEEING I NEVER TOUCHED MY BRAKES, HENCE NO BRAKE LIGHTS.. ACTUALLY I WAS REVVING THE ENGINE PRAYING THE GEARS WOULD CATCH TO POSSIBLY GET ME OUT OF THIS SITUATION. I COULD HAVE DIED!!!! I WAS PRAYING THE WHOLE TIME AND I WILL CONTINUE TO SENT IT TO THE SHOP TO GET REPAIRED. SOMEONE WILL DIE WITH THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. I CAME VERY CLOSE TODAY. IF SOMEONE HAS TO DIE FOR NISSAN TO ADMIT THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM I HOPE THE FAMILIES GET PROPERLY COMPENSATED CAUSE I AM LETTING THE WORLD KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I TOOK THE DRIVERS INFORMATION AND ANOTHER WITNESS AND HAD THE CAR TOWED ONE BLOCK FROM THE INCIDENT. *TR
