2004 Nissan Maxima

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA- I PURCHASED IT USED IN 2007. IT HAS 90K MILES ON IT, I LOVE THE CAR BUT FOR THE PAST YEAR MY TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SLIPPING. THE CAR JERKS HEAVILY WHEN I SWITCH FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE, WHEN I SLOW DOWN TO MAKE A TURN, WHEN I ACCELERATE. SOME DAYS YOU WON'T FEEL IT THEN OTHER DAYS YOU GET WHIPLASH BECAUSE IT HAPPENS THE WHOLE CAR RIDE. I HAVE HAD MY MECHANIC FLUSH MY TRANSMISSION FLUID, BROUGHT IT TO NISSAN DEALERS THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY MOTOR MOUNT, AND OF COURSE WHEN THEY TEST DRIVE MY CAR, THEY DON'T FEEL IT. ONE DEALER TOLD ME I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION THAT COSTS $4000, I CAN'T AFFORD THAT!!!! I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND EVERY SITE I COME TO HAS A PLETHORA OF COMPLAINTS WITH US ALL HAVING A 2004 MAXIMA WITH THE SAME ISSUE!!!! THIS CANNOT BE A COINCIDENCE, THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS AND NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR 17K IN 2007 AND ITS WORTH NOTHING AT THIS POINT BECAUSE OF THIS JERKING ISSUE. *TR

2004 NISSAN MAXIMA - 110,000 MILES, 5 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - SLIPPING FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR CAUSING THE CAR TO JERK VIOLENTLY WHEN IT RE-ENGAGES. THE INTERNET CONSUMER FORUMS/BOARDS ARE FLOODED WITH PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE 2004/2005 MAXIMA'S. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT THAT NISSAN IS NOT WILLING TO ADDRESS AND IS CHARGING CONSUMERS AN AVERAGE OF $4000 TO REPAIR. *TR

I HAVE AN 04 NISSAN MAXIMA. I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 04. I HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AT 60000 AFTER COMPLAINING ABOUT THE WAY THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS, NUMEROUS TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP, A 200 DOLLAR TRANSMISSION FLUSH, AND THE REPLACEMENT OF A TRANSMISSION MOUNT, THEY FINALLY REPLACED MY TRANSMISSION UNDER WARRANTY. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY FRONT STRUTS 3 TIMES, MY TIMING CHAIN $3500, AND NOW I NEED ANOTHER TRANSMISSION AT 126,000 MILES. I HAVE BEEN ON NUMEROUS BLOG SITES WITH PEOPLE WHO SHARED SIMILAR STORIES. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA AND THE TRANSMISSION JERKS VIOLENTLY BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OR COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. THERE REALLY NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AND I'M CONFUSED AS TO WHY THIS HASN'T OCCURED ALREADY. I BOUGHT A NISSAN BECAUSE I BELIEVED IN THE PRODUCT. I BELIEVED IN THE HONESTY AND INTEGRITY OF NISSAN AS A BRAND AND HAVE ALWAYS RAVED ABOUT THE GREAT CARS AND TRUCKS THEY CREATE. SADLY THIS ISSUE LEADS ME TO BELIEVE I WAS WRONG.*CW

2004 NISSAN MAXIMA, MY WIFE CAR DRIVEN ONLY TO AND FROM WORK (77,000 MILES) HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE, MOTOR MOUNTS, ENGINE REPLACEMENT, DEALERSHIP SERVICE LIES TO PERFORM WORK AND CHARGE FOR PROBLEMS THEY KNOW COULDN'T BE CORRECTED, TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE IS THE LATEST AND CODES WHICH NOBODY CAN SEEM TO DESCRIBE, IF THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIX IT WHO CAN!!! THE LATEST PROBLEM IS THE TRANSMISSION, AFTER READING ALL THE COMMENTS FROM NISSAN CUSTOMERS, I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY OR TIME TO INVEST IN A NEVER ENDING PROBLEM SO ALL I WILL DO IS ADD A TRANSMISSION ADDITIVE TO TRY TO REDUCE THIS PROBLEM. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE IMMEDIATELY, NISSAN HAS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE IMMEDIATELY AND THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP SHOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR PERFORMING SERVICES THAT KNOW WILL NOT CURE THE ISSUES AT HAND. THIS IS A DISGRACE AND PEOPLE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE RIPPED OFF TO BENEFIT A LARGE CORPORATION LIKE NISSAN. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO HEAR MY VOICE. *TR

I DRIVE A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA 3.5SE, IT CURRENTLY HAS ABOUT 115000 MILES ON IT, I BOUGHT IT WITH ABOUT 62,000, AND SINCE ABOUT A MONTH AFTER BUYING IT I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING. IT SHIFTS VERY HARD RANDOMLY, AND SLIPS CONSTANTLY, BOTH OCCURRING JUST ABOUT EVERYTIME I DRIVE THE CAR. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE ON ALL OF THE NISSAN AND MAXIMA FORUMS, JUST ABOUT EVERY PERSON DRIVING AN 2004 HAS THE SAME ISSUES, BUT NISSAN IS YET TO RELEASE A RECALL ON THE PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH IT CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC SITUATIONS. *TR
