2005 Nissan Maxima

AROUND 100,000 MILES MY 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA SE STARTED HAVING MINOR ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. IT STARTED SLAMMING INTO GEAR IN BETWEEN SHIFTS AND WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE OR REVERSE. IT DIDN'T DO IT ALL THE TIME SO I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT, BUT AS TIME WENT ON IT STARTED GETTING WORSE AND IT WOULD HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY. NOW IT HAS ABOUT 106000 MILES ON IT AND IT IS GETTING MUCH WORSE. THE OTHER DAY IT GOT STUCK IN 5TH GEAR WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT AND EVEN WITH THE CAR IN PARK IT WOULD STILL READ 5TH GEAR ON THE DASH. I ENDED UP RESETTING THE BATTERY AND IT CLEARED THE ISSUE LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO GET IT HOME. THE CAR IS STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUES MORE AND MORE EACH DAY AND I REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH LONGER IT WILL LAST. I REALLY LIKE THE CAR BUT I READ ON MANY FORUMS THAT 100'S OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AND I WAS REALLY HOPING TO BE CONSIDERED FOR A RECALL. I WOULD HATE TO PUT ANOTHER TRANSMISSION IN IT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUES AGAIN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. *TR

CAR HAS 66,000 MILES ON IT. AND TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING CAR JERKS WHEN PULLING OFF AND AFTER TURNING CORNERS. DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT UNTIL A MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE 2004 2005 MODELS HAVE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. NOW I'M LOOKING ON RECALL WEBSITE AND I SEE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE'S COMPLAINTS. I PURCHASED THIS CAR WITH 3,200 MILES ON IT I GUESS THE 1ST OWNER GOT WIND OF PROBLEM AND IMMEDIATELY GOT RID OF IT IF I KNEW THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW. I ALSO HAVE A 1997 NISSAN SENTRA NO PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR THEY NISSAN IS PUTTING OUR LIVES IN JEOPARDY. WE KEEP PUTTING MONEY OUT TO FIX THIS CAR WHEN THEY SHOULD BE FIXING IT FOR FREE WHEN DOES IT STOP WHO DO WE NEED TO CONTACT ALL THESE COMPLAINTS AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE PLEASE HELP. *TR

IT WAS A WARM JANUARY DAY AND ON THE WAY TO LUNCH THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND WOULD NOT ENGAGE. THE INTERSECTION WAS 2 MILE DRIVE FROM MY HOUSE. LUCKILY EVERYONE WAS PAYING ATTENTION THAT DAY OR MY FAMILY COULD HAVE BEEN HURT. WE PULLED THE CAR HOME. WE DON'T DRIVE IT BECAUSE IM NOT TAKING THE RISK OF IT HAPPENING AGAIN IN A DIFFERENT SITUATION. NISSAN NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR
