2005 NISSAN MAXIMA WITH LESS THAN 100K MILES WAS TAKEN TO NISSAN SERVICE SHOP AND WAS SAID TO NEED A PART REPLACED IN TRANS. AND TIMING CHAIN NEEDS REPLACING ALONG WITH MOTOR MOUNTS. AFTER REVIEWING MANY WEBSITES THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE HAS 1000 WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. TRIED TAKING TO 2 DIFFERENT NISSAN REPS AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD OR WOULD DO ABOUT THEIR FAULTY PRODUCT.. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT ELSE OR WHO ELSE I COULD SPEAK WITH ABOUT THIS MATTER. I HAVE OWNED 4 PRIOR NISSANS AND HAVE NEVER HAD PROBLEMS AND SEEING THAT THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO BE IN THIS VEHICLE I DO FEEL THAT THEY ARE SOMEWHAT RESPONSIBLE. *TR

AS WITH MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE, MY 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA IS HAVING SIGNIFICANT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. HARD SHIFTING BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND AND SOMETIMES BETWEEN 2ND AND THIRD. I WAS WARNED ABOUT THE FACT THAT NISSAN'S HAVE GREAT ENGINES BUT THAT THEY MAKE THEIR AT ON THE CHEAP. I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED BASED ON THE OTHER COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN ON THE 2005 MAXIMA. I HAVE MAINTAINED THE CARE VERY WELL, AND WOULD HAVE EXPECTED BETTER PERFORMANCE FROM NISSAN. I HAVE DRIVING A HONDA TO OVER 170K MILES, AND A MITSUBISHI TO OVER $180K WITH NO SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS. THIS WILL BE THE LAST NISSAN I BUY. I AM GOING TO BUY ANOTHER HONDA AS SOON AS I CAN GET MY PIECE OF CRAP NISSAN SOLD. BASED ON HOW MANY OF THESE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE SEEN ON MANY OTHER AUTOMOTIVE SITES ON THE INTERNET, IT SEEMS THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE 05' MAXIMA TRANSMISSION. SO SAD, BECAUSE NISSAN SEEMS TO BE FALLING BEHIND EVEN SOME OF THE AMERICAN AUTOMAKERS AS FAR AS QUALITY GOES. NO MORE NISSANS FOR ME. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 MAXIMA, AND I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS AS EVERYONE ELSE IS HAVING. I BOUGHT A NISSAN A MONTH AGO BECAUSE EVERYONE SAYS THEY ARE GREAT CARS. I LOVED IT AT FIRST, BUT NOW THAT THIS IS HAPPENING I WILL NEVER BUY ONE AGAIN. THE PEOPLE AT NISSAN REALLY NEED TO GET THEIR STUFF STRAIGHT AND FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH ALL OF THESE TRANSMISSIONS, AND THEY NEED TO FIX IT. *TR

2005 NISSAN MAXIMA SE TRANSMISSION SLIP WHEN PUTTING VEH INTO GEAR FROM P TO R OR P TO DRIVE, ETC... ALSO WHEN COMING TO DECELERATION, THE VEH SLAMS INTO LOWER GEAR JERKING VEH EXCESSIVELY. POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUE IF VEH CANNOT ENGAGE INTO LOWER GEAR WHEN COMING TO STOP IN TRAFFIC OR IN FRONT OF PEDESTRIANS! THOUSANDS OF BLOGS WITH CUSTOMERS HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES ON CONSUMERAFFAIRS.COM AND EDMUNDS.COM... NISSAN IS NOT HELPING PEOPLE WITH THIS SAFETY DEFECT!!! THEY NEED TO ISSUE RECALL FOR THIS MATTER. *TR

I HAVE A 05 NISSAN MAXIMA, WITH 65000 MILES. IT JUST STARTED GIVING ME REAL BAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS FOR ABOUT A WEEK NOW. IT'S BEEN JERKING AND SHIFTING HARD IN 2ND AND 3RD GEAR. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC TO RECEIVE A TRANSMISSION FLUSH THINKING THAT WOULD SOLVE THE SOLUTION, UNFORTUNATELY IT DIDN'T. 2 DAYS LATER, IT STARTED GIVING ME THE SAME PROBLEM. SO I DECIDED TO TAKE THE MAXIMA TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP THINKING THEY WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE COST WOULD BE $ 4,000.00 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. MY CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I PAMPER MY CAR AND UP TO THIS POINT HAVE LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT MY MAXIMA. WHAT COURSE OF ACTION DID YOU TAKE IN GETTING YOUR CAR FIXED? PLEASE EMAIL ME TO LET ME KNOW WHAT I CAN DO TO GET THIS RESOLVED AT [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE DRIVING AT 2 MPH, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY SLIPPED INTO THIRD GEAR AND BEGAN MAKING AN ABNORMAL RATTLING SOUND FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THE TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN REPLACED TWICE PREVIOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

I OWN A 05' MAXIMA WITH 102,000, AND I AM HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS SINCE AROUND THE 70,000 MILE MARK. I TRIED TO FLUSH IT AND NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK. IT SHIFTS OUT FUNNY FROM 1ST TO 2ND AND DOWN SHIFTS REAL HARD WHEN U COME TO A STOP. I'VE READ ALOT OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, BECAUSE I LOVE THE PERFORMANCE AND I DON'T WONT TO TRADE IT IN BECAUSE OF THE MONEY I HAVE DROPPED INTO IT, AND CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER CAR PAYMENT!!!! *TR
