2006 Nissan Maxima

MY TRANSMISSION BEGINS TO SLIP AND JERK AND GET STUCK NOW MY CAR HAS 94000 MILES ON IT THE DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER READS SHIFT MALFUNCTION AND FROM WHAT I HAVE HEARD AND READ THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS MODEL MY AUNT HAS THE SAME CAR AND HERS HAS STARTED DOING IT TO. IT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT THE CONSUMERS FAULT OR ANYTHING THE CONSUMER COULD PREVENT I THINK NISSAN RECALL THIS BECAUSE IT IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU ARE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT AND YOU CAR SLIPS OUT OF GEAR. *TR

MY 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA SL'S TRANSMISSIONS JERKS VERY HARD INTO GEAR AFTER A SLOW DOWN OR WHEN PUT IN REVERSE. AS SOON AS I ENTER AN EXPRESSWAY RAMP, MY CAR JERK SO HARD INTO GEAR THAT I ALMOST LOST CONTROL AND WENT OFF THE RAMP. I TOOK MY CAR TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THAT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION EVEN THOUGH I ONLY HAVE 82000 MILES ON MY CAR. ( I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED 100,000 MILE WARRANTY FROM NISSAN WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR).THAT DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT IT FROM. WHEN I TOOK IT THERE, THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM THAT I DESCRIBED. I KNOW THAT I'M NOT CRAZY AND I HAVE READ OF NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME KIND.BOTTOM LINE IS MY TRANSMISSION WAS NOT FIXED BY NISSAN AND I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. *TR

I OWN A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA THAT NOW HAS 84,000 MILES. AROUND 80K THE CAR STARTING MAKING SEVERE JERKING MOVES WHEN CHANGING INTO AND FROM LOWER GEARS (1ST TO 2ND, 2ND TO 3RD). THIS HAS TO BE DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE RPM WILL SURGE AND THE CAR WILL MOVE FORWARD AND SLIP OUT OF GEAR. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS BLOGS AND NISSAN HELP BLOGS OF OWNERS THAT HAVE MAXIMA'S BETWEEN 2004-2006 ALL COMPLAINING OF THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM! I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO MULTIPLE NISSAN DEALERSHIPS AND HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGED TWICE! THE CAR IMPROVED FOR A SHORT TIME BUT IS NOW DOING THE SAME THING. PLEASE DO SOMETHING AND MAKE NISSAN REVIEW THIS VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR MUCH WORSE. NISSAN CORPORATE IS SLOW TO RESPOND AND AWARE THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE AND HAS IN SOME CASES REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AND IN OTHERS DENIED A PROBLEM EXISTS. IT DEPENDS ON THE DEALERSHIP AND HOW GREAT OF AN ADVOCATE THEY WILL BE FOR YOU. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE HELP. THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE ONCE THIS CONDITION APPEARS. THANKS. *TR

I HAVE JUST PURCHASED A 2006 MAXIMA THAT HAS A TERRIBLE PROBLEM SOMEWHERE IN THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN I'M DRIVING I CAN FEEL THE CAR SLIP OUT OF GEAR AND CAUSE IT TO VIOLENTLY JERK LIKE A REAR END COLLISION EXCEPT THERE IS NOT ONE. I DON'T HAVE ANY LIGHTS ON TO DETECT A PROBLEM BUT I HAVE SEEN ONLINE THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I DO NOT WANT TO BE THE NEXT ONE DEAD ON THE INTERSTATE BECAUSE OF A FAULTY TRANSMISSION. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE I THOUGHT NISSAN MADE QUALITY CARS AND CARED ABOUT THEIR BUYERS BUT NOW I'VE SEEN THAT SO FAR NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THIS. WITHOUT A LIGHT DETECTING THIS PROBLEM A LOT OF SERVICE PEOPLE ARE UNABLE TO FIND THE CAUSE. I CARE ABOUT MY FAMILY AND NOW WILL HAVE NO OTHER WAY TO WORK BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. *TR

MY 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING A SLIP IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE OTHER DAY I TRIED TO CROSS A STREET AND IT SLIPPED ALMOST CAUSING A CRASH WITH A SEMI TRUCK THAT COULD NOT HAVE STOPPED IN TIME. IT FINALLY CAUGHT BUT WAS A CLOSE CALL. NISSAN HAS DONE NOTHING TO ADMIT OR ADDRESS THE ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND I HAVE READ MANY SIMILAR STORIES ONLINE. WHAT CAN BE DONE TO HOLD NISSAN RESPONSIBLE. THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME TYPE OF PRESS COVERAGE. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE ANYTHING IS DONE. *TR

THE POWER TRAIN MANUAL TRANSMISSION HAS A DEFECT THAT CAUSES IT TO GO OUT. I HAVE ALREADY BEEN TOLD ITS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT BUT THE COMPANY REFUSES TO PAY FOR MY REPAIRS BECAUSE ITS AFTER MY WARRANTY. I THINK THAT IF THE MADE A FAULTY PRODUCT THEY SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. NOT THE CONSUMER. I WILL SUPPLY MY VIN NUMBER BUT AFTER I AM CONTACTED. THANK YOU. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK IN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR. IT ALSO EMITTED SMOKE INTO THE VEHICLE. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT AT THE DEALER. THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 126,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.
