2004 Nissan Maxima

THE CAR IS JERKING/BUCKING VIOLENTLY WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE INTO DRIVE AND AGAIN WHEN SHIFTING INTO FIRST AND SECOND GEARS. IT IS ALSO JERKING WHEN DOWNSHIFTING FROM SECOND TO FIRST GEAR. AT FIRST, THE SHIFTING PROBLEM WAS AN OCCASIONAL OCCURRENCE, HOWEVER, IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. NOW IT IS ALMOST CONSTANT. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, I HAVE FOUND THAT HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF '04-05 MAXIMA OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS. THIS IS QUITE OBVIOUSLY A NISSAN MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY NISSAN CORP. *TR

TRANSMISSION IS JERKING WHEN SHIFTING THRU MOST GEARS AND SOMETIMES GETS WORSE WHILE DRIVING LONG PERIODS. I FEEL THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF AND NISSAN NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE AND NEEDS TO BE PUT OUT THERE FOR EVERYONE TO SEE HOW MONEY HUNGRY THEY ARE FOR NOT WANTING TO HELP. THEY ARE TAKING MONEY FROM PEOPLE WHEN THEY KNOW THE PROBLEM. I EVEN SEEN COMPANIES COME OUT WITH PARTS THAT HELP THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY KNOW THERE IS A MARKET FOR THIS PROBLEM. YOU NEED TO MAKE NISSAN FIX THERE PROBLEM AND MAKE RIGHT BECAUSE IN TODAY MARKET THIS IS NOT GOING TO END WELL WITH THE PEOPLE WHO ARE GETTING SCREWED OVER. I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH GREEN LIGHT AUTO WHO IS TIRED OF DEALING WITH THIS CAR BECAUSE IT HAS THIS ISSUES NOW LET ME TELL YOU THIS NEW MOUNTS, FLUID ALL NEW EVEN SENSORS AND 02'S THAT ARE NOTED TO GO AND CAUSE THESE ISSUES. STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. YOU NEED TO MAKE THEM FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION FAILS AND KILLS SOMEONE DUE TO AN ACCIDENT THEN WE WILL START HAVING PEOPLE SUE AND GET SOME HELP FROM LEGAL MATTERS. CLASS ACTION LAW SUITE IS ALSO FILLED AND IS GOING ON AS WELL. SHOWS THAT EVERYONE IS TIRED OF THE CRAP. *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE DRIVING CAUSING VEHICLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHILE IN TRAFFIC ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT BY VEHICLES FOLLOWING. NISSAN HAS COMPLETELY IGNORED THIS INHERENT TRANSMISSION FAILURE ON THOUSANDS OF THESE MODEL YEAR VEHICLES. A RECALL IS NECESSARY TO FIX THIS TOTALLY FLAWED TRANSMISSION, AND GIVE THE CONSUMER SOME SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY THAT NISSAN SO FAR HAS FAILED TO SHOW. *TR

WHEN CAR IS WARM AND I SHIFT FROM PARK TO DRIVE, THE CAR HESITATES, JERKS AND TAKE A FEW SECONDS TO GO INTO GEAR. ALSO, UPON ACCELERATING ON A HIGHWAY ON-RAMP, THE RPMS REV UP HIGH BUT THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE AS EXPECTED WHICH BOGS DOWN THE RESPONSE. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT NUMEROUS TIMES MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY OR TRYING TO GET UP A RAMP. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE - EVEN MORE SO WHEN MY CHILDREN ARE IN THE BACKSEAT. UPON DOING RESEARCH ONLINE, I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT IT IS APPARENTLY A FUNCTION OF THE TRANSMISSION USED IN THE 2004 MAXIMA. I WILL BE GETTING THIS CAR FIXED BUT FELT THAT THIS ORGANIZATION NEEDED TO BE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

VEHICLE JERKS INTO GEARS WHEN SHIFTING UP, AS WELL AS SHIFTING DOWN. GEARS WILL OFTEN GET STUCK IN HIGH AND MANUAL SHIFT WILL SOMETIMES WORK. IT TAKES A WHILE FOR THE CAR TO GO FROM PARK TO DRIVE WHILE SITTING STILL AND JERKS WHEN IT FINALLY SHIFTS TO DRIVE. GEARS WILL OFTEN SLIP WHILE SHIFTING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD FROM 1ST GEAR TO 4TH GEAR. THE CAR WILL REV VERY HIGH AND THEN KICK LIKE A HORSE FOR THE GEARS TO SHIFT INTO PLACE. *TR
