2004 Nissan Maxima

THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS FREQUENTLY, OFTEN HESITATION WHEN SWITCHING FROM PARK/REVERSE/DRIVE AND WHEN SWITCHING FROM 1ST TO 2ND OR 2ND TO 3RD. THE SLIP OFTEN RESULTS IN LACK OF POWER TO THE WHEELS AND THEN A SUDDEN JERK WHEN IT DOES FINALLY KICK IN. IT CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU PULL INTO TRAFFIC AND EXPECT THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE NORMALLY AND INSTEAD GET STUCK BETWEEN GEARS. SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS TRANSMISSION SINCE IT IS APPARENT FROM ONLINE RESEARCH THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE. *TR

IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, THE 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA TRANSMISSION WAS KNOCKING AND SLIPPING, HAD EXCESSIVE HIGH RPM'S CAUSING THE CAR TO "BURN RUBBER", AND JERKED HEAVILY WHEN SHIFTING. A RATING SEVERITY OF 10 IS GIVEN DUE TO HAVING HAD 4 NEAR MISS (POSSIBLE) ACCIDENTS IN A PERIOD OF 20 MINUTES. THE CAR WAS SENT TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND ITEMS WERE REPLACED THAT THE MECHANIC SAID WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM (ENGINE MOUNTS). THE CAR WAS DRIVEN AGAIN AND DISPLAYED THE SAME DEFECTS. THE CAR MANUFACTURE WAS NOTIFIED OF THESE DEFECTS ON 3/7/2013. THESE CONDITIONS POSE A SAFETY HAZARD NOT ONLY TO MYSELF BUT ALSO TO MY PASSENGERS (WHICH ARE FAMILY AND FRIENDS), OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD AS WELL AS INNOCENT PEDESTRIANS THAT MAY COME IN CONTACT WITH MY CAR WHEN I FINALLY DO HAVE THAT SERIOUS LIFE THREATENING ACCIDENT DUE TO MY TRANSMISSION DEFECT. *TR

CAR STARTING SHIFTING EXTREMELY HARD WHEN CHANGING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR THOUGHT I WAS REAR ENDED. PROCEEDED TO RESEARCH AND CAME ACROSS MANY OWNERS OF THIS MAKE MODEL AND YEAR HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND NOW AS I CHANGE GEARS TO PARK IT IDLES FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN CHANGES EXTREMELY LOUD AND MAKE A BANGING NOISE. I'M EXTREMELY WORRIED FOR MY SAFETY DUE TO THE FACT I COMMUTE BACK AND FOURTH TO WORK FAR DISTANCES AND I BOUGHT THIS CAR AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WITH CONFIDENCE MY CAR ONLY HAS 101,000 MILES AND ITS A 2004 SO IT HASN'T BEEN ABUSED. *TR
