2005 Nissan Maxima

I RECENTLY PURCHASED AN 05 MAXIMA WITH 107,000 MILES ON IT. THE NEXT DAY I HEARD A LOUD TICKING FROM ENGINE. MY TENSIONERS ARE FAILING AN ESTIMATED $2000 REPAIR. IN THE SAME DAY UPON ACCELERATION MY WHEEL JERKED VIOLENTLY, A SIGN OF A FAILING TRANSMISSION. $3000+ THIS IS RIDICULOUS. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY CRIMINAL THAT A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN INITIATED BY NISSAN.THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE, AND A SEVERE RISK TO THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVER. I WILL BE CONTACTING EVERY AVAILABLE NEWSPAPER AND NEWS AGENCY IN MY AREA AND WILL TRY TO CONTACT NATIONAL NEWS AGENCIES THIS IS ABSOLUTELY ATROCIOUS. I BEG OTHER NISSAN OWNERS TO MAKE THIS A PROBLEM FOR NISSAN THAT WONT GO AWAY UNTIL PROPER ACTIONS ARE TAKEN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE JERKED WHILE CHANGING GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 35 MPH WHEN THERE WAS AN INCREASE IN THE ENGINE RPMS AND THE VEHICLE SWITCHED GEARS WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND MOTOR MOUNTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,798 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 109,993.

I AM TOLD THAT I AM EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH MY TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE. AFTER CAREFUL RESEARCH, AND TWO MECHANIC OPINIONS IT HAS BEEN TOLD TO ME THAT NISSAN KNEW THAT THEY HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL OF MAXIMA AND HAS NOT OWNED UP TO THIS PROBLEM. NEITHER HAVE THEY RECALLED OR TRYING RIGHT THEIR WRONG. THESE ITEMS ARE THE LIFE OF THE CAR. I HAVE ALSO CHECKED THE REVIEWS ON EDMUNDS.COM AND THERE ARE SEVERAL OWNERS OF THIS SAME CAR THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES AND COMPLAINTS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT MEASURES CAN BE TAKEN AGAINST NISSAN FOR THEM OWN UP TO THESE DEFECTIVE COMPONENTS. IT WILL HURT THEM IN THE LONG RUN IF THEY DO NOT. I WILL CERTAINLY MAKE SURE THAT THE WORLD KNOWS ABOUT THIS AND DO NOT EVEN ATTEMPT TO PURCHASE A NISSAN. I ONLY WISH I HAD DONE THIS BEFORE I PURCHASED THIS CAR. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 MAXIMA AND I AM HAVING VERY BAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES. WHEN I TAKE OFF IT JERKS REAL BAD BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR AND THEN WHEN I AM SLOWING DOWN ABOUT TO COME TO A STOP IT ALSO KICKS AND JERKS REAL BAD WHEN IT GEARS DOWN TO 1ST AND 2ND AND SOMETIMES IT JUST WONT GO AT ALL..AND THEN WHEN I SIT THERE A MIN AND PUT MY CAR FROM PARK TO DRIVE IT HESITATES FOR ATLEAST 7 TO 10 SECS. AND THEN JUMPS REAL BAD AND THEN GOES INTO DRIVE.IT USUALLY DOES ALL THIS WHEN THE CAR IS HOT. I BOUGHT MY MAXIMA 18 MONTHS BACK, USED. I STARTED NOTICING THIS ABOUT 8 MONTHS BACK WHEN THERE WAS A VERY EVIDENT LAG IN SHIFTING AND THEN ONLY DURING PARK<>REVERSE<>DRIVE. THIS WAS AT AROUND 95,000 MILES AND WHEN I BOUGHT IT HAD 87,000. NOW IT HAS BECOME WORSE TO A POINT WHERE IT IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. WE HAVE A 2 YR OLD DAUGHTER WHO ALWAYS HAS TO BE TRANSPORTED TO DAY CARE AND HOME IN THIS CAR. NOW I AM UNABLE TO SELL IT BECAUSE NO BODY WOULD PAY EVEN 25% OF WHAT I BOUGHT THE CAR FOR AND WE ARE LEFT WITH NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE THIS UNTIL IT FAILS EVEN THOUGH IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THIS CAR. PLEASE HAVE NISSAN HELP ME FIX THIS CAR OR BETTER RECALL THESE TRANSMISSIONS. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP FIX MY CAR. THANKS. *TR

WHEN TRANSMISSION SHIFTS BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR OR FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE, THERE IS SOMETIMES A HESITATION AND THEN A VIOLENT JERK WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO CATCH UP TO THE ENGINE. I WAS ADVISED TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION FLUSHED AND FILLED AND THIS SHOULD CORRECT THE PROBLEM, AFTER DOING SO, THIS PROBLEM WENT AWAY FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND IS NOW BACK AND HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. *TR
