2005 Nissan Maxima

JUST BOUGHT A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA 2 WEEKS AGO (2/28/12). AFTER NOTICING THE JERKS WHEN IT SHIFTS INTO LOWER GEARS I DECIDED TO GOOGLE MAXIMA TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND THOUSANDS OF MAXIMA OWNERS ARE GOING THROUGH THIS SAME ISSUE. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A DEFECT AND SHOULD BE NISSAN'S RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX!!! WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE BEFORE A RECALL IS ISSUED???? PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!!!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT WAS SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE WHEN THE VEHICLE JERKED FROWARD ABNORMALLY. THE FAILURE ONLY OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC S WHERE THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK FORWARD WHEN ATTEMPTING TO UP SHIFT. IN ADDITION, WHEN THE CONTACT WOULD DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE TO MOVE AND WOULD JERK VIOLENTLY WHEN THE CONTACT WOULD LIFT HIS FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE DEALER ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THE FAILURE BY FLUSHING THE TRANSMISSION, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS TO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

I BOUGHT MY 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA SE USED AND IT RAN FINE A FIRST, BUT WITHIN 2 MONTHS THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN ACTING UP BY JERKING, HARD SHIFTING AND HI ENGINE REV'S. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY BLAME EVERYTHING ELSE EXCEPT THE TRANSMISSION. THEY SAID IT WAS THE MOTOR MOUNTS, BUT THEY WERE NEW THEN IT WAS THIS SENSOR AND THAT SENSOR, THE DOG, THE CAT ANYTHING BUT THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER GAVE ME A POWERTRAIN WARRANTY WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR SO I TOOK IT TO NISSAN TO DO A TRANSMISSION SWAP WHILE I HAD THE CAR THERE GETTING SOME OTHER WORK DONE. SINCE IT WAS ANOTHER WARRANTY COMPANY OTHER THAN NISSAN, THEY TRIED TO MILK THE WARRANTY COMPANY WITH PARTS THROWN AT IT WHILE MY CAR WAS THERE. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT BROKEN SUBHARNESS CAUSED THE PROBLEM. WITH THE SUBHARNESS REPAIRED IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. NEXT HE CALLED AND SAID I HAD A BAD VIAS SOLENOID WAS THE PROBLEM AND THAT WOULD FIX IT. HE CALLED BACK THE NEXT DAY AND SAID "WELL YOUR CAR IS STILL STUCK IN 4TH GEAR AND I WOULD LIKE TO TRY SOMETHING ELSE. I TOLD HIM NO SINCE THE WARRANTY COMPANY HAD CALLED ME AND TELLING ME WHAT NISSAN HAD TOLD THEM AND I WAS BEING TO ANOTHER STORY. THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP FROM THE NISSAN STEALERSHIP SINCE NISSAN WAS PLAYING US BOTH. THE CAR HAD BECOME A HAZARD TO DRIVE BECAUSE IT STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF SHIFTS AND IT WAS HARD TO PREDICT WHAT IT WOULD DO NEXT. THE CAR WORKED FINE AS LONG AS THE TRANSMISSION WAS COLD, BUT WHEN IT WARMED UP IT WAS HARD JERK AND SHIFT CITY. I NICK NAMED THE CAR MULE KICK SINCE IT KICKED LIKE A MULE. I PAID THE STEALERSHIP FOR THE WORK DONE I BUT DIDN'T WANT TO SINCE THEY DIDN'T FIX IT AND IT LEFT ON A TOW TRUCK. NISSAN WILL BLAME YOUR GRANDMA FOR THE PROBLEM BEFORE THEY SAY IT IS THEIR TRANSMISSIONS.. THESE CARS NEED TO BE RECALLED AND AS FOR THIS NISSAN STEALERSHIP I WOULD NOT BUY A .50 SUGAR COOKIE FROM THEM. *TR
