THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 2004 HAS BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS ABOUT THE PAST 3 YEARS. THE CAR JERKS HARD FROM 1 TO 2ND GEAR AND THEN 2 TO 3RD GEAR... THE CAR SHIFTS AS HARD AS IT DOES IN A MANUAL TRANSMISSION CAR AND IT IS AUTOMATIC. I HAVE LOOKED ON SOME ONLINE WEBSITES AND THEY HAVE MANY OTHER ANGRY CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS I DO WITHOUT NO RECALL. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT FROM A COMMON FAULTY PRODUCT. *TR

2004 NISSAN MAXIMA IS HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SLIPS WHEN SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR AND WHEN DOWNSHIFTING FROM 3RD TO 2ND GEAR. AS THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS THE RPM INCREASE AND WHEN IT FINALLY SHIFTS THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY JERKS. BECAUSE OF THE CONTINUOUS SLIPPING/JERKING THE ENGINE MOUNDS WERE WORN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. DEALER HAS OFFERED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION FOR +$3000. NISSAN HAS NOT RECALLED OR REPORTED ANY PROBLEMS EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE. *TR

MY 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA FAILED TO ACCELERATE ACROSS A BUSY INTERSECTION DUE TO A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION. AS A RESULT I HAD A NEAR MISS WITH SEVERAL TRUCKS THAT NEARLY HIT MY FAMILY. THE 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA HAS A WELL KNOWN DEFECT IN ITS TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY. THIS IS PUBLISHED ON THE INTERNET AND DISCUSSED IN TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOPS. MY TRANSMISSION WAS STUCK IN 5TH GEAR FORCING THE CAR TO USE ITS TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH TO SLOWLY ACCELERATE. I WAS NEARLY KILLED AS A RESULT. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN PREVIOUSLY ABOUT THIS DEFECT BUT THEY HAVE NOT RESPONDED. PLEASE REGULATE NISSAN TO PROVIDE THE NHTSA DATA ABOUT ITS MAXIMA TRANSMISSION FAILURE RATE AND FORCE THEM TO ISSUE A SAFETY BULLETIN AND RECALL REBATE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE TRANSMISSION BECAME STUCK IN 5TH GEAR AND THE VEHICLE WOULD SHIFT HARD INTO REVERSE. THE DEALER FOUND THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS BURNED AND THERE WAS ALSO METAL IN THE FLUID.
