2006 Nissan Maxima

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKES IN MY CAR OVER THREE TIMES WITHIN A TWO YEAR SPAN. BRAKES CONTINUE TO SCRUB AND SQUEAL. DEALER SAYS THAT THEY HAVE DONE ALL THEY CAN DO AS THEY HAVE CHANGED MULTIPLE PARTS, COSTING ME "AN ARM AND A LEG". YOU ARE A AFRAID TO MAKE A HARD EMERGENCY STOP BECAUSE DUE TO THE SOUND, YOU AREN'T SURE IF THEY COULD "GO OUT" IN TIME. TRANSMISSION: CARE LITERALLY JERKS INTO GEAR WHEN BACKING UP OR TAKING OFF. YOU CAN'T PARK TOO CLOSE TO ANOTHER VEHICLE OR STOP BECAUSE CAR LITERALLY LEAPS INTO GEAR POSSIBLE CAUSING YOU TO HIT ANOTHER CAR IN FRONT OF YOU. (FEELS LIKE SOMEONE HAS REAR ENDED YOU). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK WHILE SHIFTING GEARS. THE VEHILCE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THEY INFORMED HER THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE CAR BEGIN HARD JERKING AND SLIPPING. TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN PLACE AND OF COURSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE CAR NEEDS A TRANSMISSION. WHETHER ITS USED OR NEW ITS VERY EXPENSIVE AND THE MECHANIC SAID ITS NOT GOING TO DO ANY GOOD BECAUSE THE VALVE BODIES IN THOSE TRANSMISSIONS ARE BAD IN ALL OF THOSE TRANSMISSIONS. SO IF I GET ANOTHER ONE THE SAME THING IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR

MY 2006 MAXIMA'S TRANSMISSION GAVE OUT AT 74,000 MILES OF NORMAL USE. THERE ARE 1,000'S OF OTHERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM AND MOST HAVE HAD TO PAY AROUND $3,000 OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. THERE ARE SOME THAT WERE FORTUNATE TO HAVE ALL OR MOST OF THE COSTS PAID BY NISSAN, EVEN WHEN THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED. NISSAN REFUSES TO ASSIST WITH MY REPAIR STATING THAT I DIDN'T TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR IT'S REGULAR MAINTENANCE. BBB AUTO LINE STATES THAT THE VEHICLE IS TOO OLD FOR THEM TO ASSIST IN MY REPAIR COST RECOVERY. THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE WITH THIS GENERATION OF MAXIMA AND THERE SHOULD BE A FORCED RECALL, NO MATTER THE COST TO THE MANUFACTURER. WE PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR THEIR FLAGSHIP MODEL AND WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY EVEN MORE FOR THEIR FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS. ALSO, BROKEN ENGINE MOUNTS SEEM TO BE HIGH ON THE LIST OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE, WHICH MY MAXIMA ALSO HAS. VERY FRUSTRATING. NEED TO FIND HELP IN FILING A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST NISSAN. *TR

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE NOR WAS THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 72,000 AND THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

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

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

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
