OVER THE PAST YEAR (SINCE FEB 2010), I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN ABOUT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH MY 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CAR GIVES A HARD JERKS WHEN GOING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING MY MAXIMA ON THE FREEWAY (LUCKILY I WAS DRIVING IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE), IT COMPLETELY STOPPED AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. THANK GOD, I WAS NOT HIT AND KILLED. NISSAN IS FULLY AWARE OF THE 2005 MAXIMA TRANSMISSION PROBLEM THAT THOUSANDS OF CONSUMERS ARE EXPERIENCING BUT YET THEY ARE DOING NOTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I AM FILING A COMPLAINT AGAINST NISSAN BECAUSE THEY WERE FULLY AWARE ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION DEFECT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, SHE APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES ENGAGED. THE BRAKE PEDAL BEGAN TO PUMP AND THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED AN INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE. DURING THE FAILURE, THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE BEGAN TO RECUR INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ANTI LOCK SPEED SENSORS WERE RUSTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. APPROXIMATELY THREE MONTHS LATER, THE FAILURE BEGAN TO RECUR AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO REPLACE THE ANTI LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM DUE TO EXCESSIVE RUST AND CORROSION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD VIOLENTLY JERK WHEN DOWNSHIFTING AND ACCELERATING AT LOW SPEEDS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 69,890.

I PURCHASED MY 05 NISSAN MAXIMA WITH 60800 MILES FROM A NISSAN DEALER. AT ABOUT 70000, THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SHOW SIGNS OF COSTLY REPAIRS. THE TRANSMISSION JERKS VERY HARD WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR AND THEN WHEN SLOWING DOWN FROM 2ND TO 1ST. JUST SHIFTING FROM P TO D AT TIMES THERE IS ABOUT A 3 - 4 SECOND DELAY THEN ENGAGES TO ONLY HERE AND FEEL A VERY HARD CLUNK AND JERKS REALLY HARD AGAIN. WITH ALL THE HARD SHIFTING THE MOTOR MOUNTS ARE PROBABLY GOING TO WEAR OUT PREMATURELY TOO. AFTER GOING ONLINE AND READING SO MANY OTHER 04 - 05 MAXIMA TRANSMISSION ISSUE WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS AROUND THE SAME MILEAGE. I AM CONVINCED THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT. *TR
