I WAS DRIVING IN 40'S AND SUDDENLY MY TRANSMISSION GETS STUCK. IT WONT GO DOWN OR UP.AND SUDDDENLY WHEN IT DOES IT GIVES ME A HUGE JERK. THIS CAN BE A DANGEROUS PROBLEM WHICH CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. LOOKING AT ALL THE FORUMS IN THE INTERNET SEEMS LIKE ALMOST ALL THE NISSAN USERS OF (2004 TO 2006) ARE FACING THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE HAS TO SOME KIND OF RECALL THAT ALL THESE CUSTOMERS HAVE TO GET. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE BUT AFTER TEST DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE MECHANIC ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS DEFECTIVE.

ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE TRANSMISSION WILL VIOLENTLY JERK WHEN SHIFTING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR. IN ADDITION, SLOWING THE VEHICLE DOWN TO A STOP THE TRANSMISSION JERKS VIOLENTLY CHANGING GEARS FROM FIRST TO SECOND. SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ENGAGE IMMEDIATELY AND AFTER APPROXIMATELY 7 TO 10 SECONDS THE VEHICLE LUNGES AS THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY ENGAGES. THE PROBLEMS OCCUR AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR SEVERAL MILES AND THE ENGINE IS WARM. THIS PROBLEM PRESENTED ITSELF JUST AFTER 60,000 MILES. SEARCHING THE INTERNET REVEALS HUNDREDS OF OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME HAZARDOUS PROBLEM. *TR

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA WHICH I ABSOLUTELY LOVE! BUT ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER THE CAR WAS WARMED UP AND I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT FOR ABOUT 20 MIN.S OR SO THE TRANSMISSION WOULD ACT UP WHEN I WAS BETWEEN 2 AND 3 RPMS AND WOULD EITHER REV THE ENGINE OR TAKE ABOUT 5 TO 10 SECONDS BEFORE SHIFTING GEARS WITH A ROUGH CLUNK NOISE AND A HARD JERK. THE SAME THING HAPPENS WHEN I GO FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE IT WOULD TAKE A WHILE AND THEN MAKE A ROUGH JERK BEFORE CHANGING GEARS. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THE CAR WILL ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN OR THRUST INTO ANOTHER CAR WHEN CHANGING GEARS ABRUPTLY. *TR

I HAVE AN 2005 MODEL YEAR MAXIMA (BUILT IN MID 2004) WITH FLOOR BOARDS ARE ROTTED OUT AND NEED REPLACING, ISSUE WAS FOUND ABOUT 5000 MILES AFTER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED HOWEVER THE DEALER WOULD NOT HONOR ANYTHING EVEN THOUGH THE ROT WAS SIGNIFICANT AND CLEARLY HAD BEEN HAPPENING FOR MANY MONTHS. I DRIVE OVER 2500 MILES PER MONTH AND ITS CLEAR IT WAS FAILED BEFORE THE WARRANTY ENDED. THIS AMOUNT OF CORROSION SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ON A CAR THAT WAS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND DEALER MAINTAINED. I SHOULD ADD THAT THE CAR WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALER AT 98,000 MILES FOR A COMPLETE TUNE UP WITH THE EXPRESS REASON OF MAKING SURE EVERYTHING WAS GOOD BEFORE THE WARRANTY ENDED. I HAD PATCHES REPLACED UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE AFTER THE DEALER WOULD NOT HONOR ANYTHING. THE CAR NOW HAS 134,000 MILES ON IT AND IS GOING IN NEXT WEEK TO HAVE NEW FLOOR PANS WELDED IN. VERY DISAPPOINTED. I MAY LIVE IN THE NORTH EAST BUT I'VE NEVER HAD A CAR ROT OUT LIKE THIS AND HAVE ZERO BODY ROT, JUST THE FLOOR BOARDS.... *TR

MY CAR IS A USED 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA SE 4 DOOR AND I HAVE AROUND 139,139 MILES ON THE CAR. I GOT THE CAR IN MARCH OF 2011 AND AFTER TWO MONTHS THE CAR STARTED JERKING. THE JERKING HAPPENS WHEN I PUT MY CAR FROM PARK TO REVERSE OR WHEN I'M DRIVING THE CAR SLIPS FROM THE 1-2ND GEAR AND CAUSES A HUGE JERK LIKE THE CAR IS GETTING REAR ENDED. FROM SOME EXTENDED WEB SEARCHING I SEE THAT THIS IS NOT ONLY GOING ON IN MY CAR BUT THIS SEEMS LIKE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE WOULD BE NECESSARY. *TR
