2005 Nissan Maxima

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SLIP GEARS UNEXPECTEDLYACCOMAPNIED WITH AN ABNORMAL JERKING WITH HESITATION. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND ABS SENSOR WERE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN SHIFTING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR WHEN DRIVING 25 MPH AND ABOVE, THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE WOULD ALSO JERK WHEN THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED TO FIRST GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL TRANSMISSION SHOP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING A DIAGNOSIS OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA. FOR THE PAST FEW MTHS I HAVE NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING OR STALLING ON CHANGE OF GEARS. MY CAR WAS PURCHASED A YR. OLD AND HAD AROUND 40000 MILES. THE CAR NOW HAS RIGHT AT 90000 MILES. I HAVE ALWAYS BRAGGED ON HOW GREAT OF A CAR, THE NISSAN MAXIMA IS. NOW, I' M VERY DISAPPOINTED. AND VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. ON VERY DRIVE I EXPERIENCE SEVERE JERKING AND STALLING. I MORE SO EXPERIENCE THE JERKS AND STALLING WHILE TRAVELING AT A 20/40 MILES. *TR

MY 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA HAD REACHED ROUGHLY 89,000 MILES AND OUT OF THE BLUE IT BEGAN SHIFTING HARD/JERKING DURING DRIVES OVER 40MINS. THE CAR CONTINUED TO SHIFT HARD WHILE DRIVING AND THEN WHEN I PUT IT INTO PARK, REVERSE AND DRIVE IT WOULD JERK THE ENTIRE CAR. SOON THE SHIFTING WAS SO BAD THAT I WAS BEING THROWN FORWARD AND BACK WITH EVERY LITTLE SHIFT OF THE ENGINE. I TOOK THE CAR INTO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND DESCRIBED WHAT WAS HAPPENING. THEY PERFORMED A DIAGNOSIS (AND REPORTED THAT THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING.) THEY INFORMED ME THAT I WAS FEELING THE SHIFTING BECAUSE MY FRONT ENGINE MOUNT WAS BROKEN AND THAT MY TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS BAD. I HAD THEM COMPLETE THE TRANSMISSION FLUSH AT THAT TIME AND HAD MY ENGINE MOUNT REPAIRED 4 MONTHS LATER. I CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE HARD SHIFTING WITH THE NEW MOUNT AND NEW FLUSH. I ENDED UP TAKING THE CAR BACK IN TO THE DEALER FOR ANOTHER PROBLEM THEY NEEDED TO CORRECT AND INFORMED THEM AGAIN THAT THE CAR WAS STILL SHIFTING HARD AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS COMING ON AND OFF. AGAIN I WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. CURRENTLY, MY CAR IS SHIFTING IN AND OUT OF GEAR EVERY TIME I DRIVE AND IS OVER REVVING WHEN I TRY AND SPEED UP. I BELIEVE ALL THIS HARD SHIFTING/JERKING IS WHAT CAUSED MY ENGINE MOUNT TO CRACK. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA THAT HAS DEVELOPED A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AT ONLY 71,000 MILES. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT I MUST REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION OR HAVE THE "VALVE" THAT IS STICKING WHEN I SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND OR FROM 2ND TO 1ST REPLACED. TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION OR TO CHANGE THE VALVE IS GOING TO COST ME SOMEWHERE BETWEEN $2,500 TO $3,500. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT A CAR WITH ONLY 71,000 MILES SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. JUDGING FROM ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THE 05 NISSAN MAXIMA, I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS FAR MORE WIDE-SPREAD AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD VIOLENTLY JERK AND SHIFT BETWEEN GEARS WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. THE DEALER FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION AND ASSURED THE CONTACT THAT THE REPAIR WOULD CORRECT THE FAILURE BUT IT DID NOT AND THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE CONTACT DID NOT INFORM MANUFACTURER OF THE FAILURE NOR WAS THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 89,500 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,300. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA AND THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT. I AM AT 90,000 MILES AND IT JERKS REAL HARD ALOT. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE I GOT IT LAST YEAR. IT ALSO MAKES A HUMMING SOUND WHEN I GET UP TO 45 MILES PER HOUR. WHEN I'M GOING DOWN HILL AND TRYING TO SLOW OR SWITCHING GEARS PERIOD. THE COMPRESSOR HAS GONE BAD ON IT AS WELL.. *TR

TRANSMISSION STARTED SHIFTING VERY HARD BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND AND 2ND AND 3RD. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE TRANSMISSION GET STUCK IN 5TH GEAR WHICH POSES A SAFETY PROBLEM WHEN TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC. NOTICE FIRST SYMPTOMS JUST AFTER 60K MILE WARRANTY. TOOK IT TO DEALER, COULDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEM. SUBSEQUENT VISITS AND WAS TOLD TO REPLACE THE MOTOR MOUNTS AND FLUSHED TRANY AND CALL NISSAN CAR WHICH I DID ALL 3. TRANSMISSION CONTINUED TO GET WORSE AND TOOK IT BACK TO NISSAN. THEY RECOMMENDED NEW AT FOR $3500. CALLED NISSAN CARE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY CANNOT HELP, CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. WHEN ASKED TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR, I WAS TOLD NO, THAT WOULDN'T HELP AND THEY HUNG UP. *TR

2005 NISSAN MAXIMA SE PROBLEM SHIFTING. DELAY IN ENGAGEMENT FROM P TO D (ABOUT 1-2 SECONDS), FOLLOWED BY A STRONG JERK OR BANG. ONCE IN GEAR, VERY HIGH REVS AND ENGAGEMENT FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR, ALONG WITH 3RD TO 4TH. SAME CAN BE SAID ON DECELERATION. 4TH TO 3RD, AND ALL THE WAY DOWN... A DEFINITE TRAFFIC SAFETY HAZARD. JUST SOME OF THE OTHER ITEMS I HAVE HAD TO FOOT THE BILL FOR ON THIS 6-YEAR OLD VEHICLE: - 3 A/C COMPRESSORS - BOTH HIGH AND LOW A/C COMPRESSOR LINES - 4 NEW TIRES DUE TO CRACKING AND BUBBLING ON THE FACTORY TIRES (AT LESS THAN 30K MILES!) - FRONT ROTORS DUE TO WARPING AND EXCESSIVE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING WHEN BRAKING - LUMBAR SUPPORT PUMP (DRIVER'S SIDE) IS BROKEN - TURN SIGNAL INDICATORS OUT OF ALIGNMENT (DEFECTIVE GLUE TO HOLD THEM IN PLACE?) - 3 BATTERIES IN UNDER 5 YEARS - POWER WINDOW MOTORS ARE DYING (NOT AS QUICK AS THEY USED TO BE) OVERALL, I HAVE COME TO HATE THIS CAR AND THE NISSAN BRAND. I WILL NEVER BUY A NISSAN (OR INFINITI) AGAIN. *TR
