2006 Nissan Maxima

I HAVE A 2006 MAXIMA WITH 78,000 MILES. ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION STARTED JERKING WHEN SHIFTING FROM GEAR 1 TO GEAR 2. ALSO JERKING FROM REVERSE INTO DRIVE. AFTER STOPPING, THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE AND THE RPMS SKY ROCKET UNTIL THE GEAR ENGAGES. I HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION SERVICED BUT THE PROBLEM STILL CONTINUES. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHERE STOPPING AND STARTING IS REQUIRED DUE TO STOP SIGNS AND LIGHTS. IT COULD ALSO RESULT IN ANOTHER CAR REAR-ENDING ME BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ENGAGE IMMEDIATELY WHEN ACCELERATING. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA, I BOUGHT IT USED IN 2011, ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER THE TRANSMISSION STARTING SMALL JERKING WHEN PUTTING IN REVERSE OR DRIVE. THEN IN JANUARY 2013 IT STARTED SLIPPING IN 1ST 2ND AND SOMETIMES 3RD GEARS, I HAVE ALSO HAD THE RPMS REV UP HIGH AND WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY ENGAGES IT JERKS SO HARD IT FEELS LIKE EVERYTHING UNDER THE CAR IS GOING TO FALL OUT! I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT I AM LOOKING AT $3500 TO REPAIR AND IT WOULD BE A USED TRANSMISSION THAT IS GOING TO PRODUCE THE SAME PROBLEMS AS MY CURRENT ONE. I FEEL NISSAN MOTOR CO SHOULD STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM!!! *TR

WHILE DRIVING HOME IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WITH MY 2 KIDS IN THE CAR, AT A STOP LIGHT, MY MAXIMA ALL OF A SUDDEN WOULDN'T SHIFT INTO GEAR. THE ENGINE WOULD REV, BUT NO MOVEMENT HAPPENED. I TRIED EVERY GEAR AND WAS ABLE TO GET OVER FROM THE FAR LANE TO A PARKING LOT (WHILE ALMOST GETTING HIT TWICE). MY CAR WAS TOWED TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR THAT I HAD ONLY HAD SINCE 06/2010 NEEDED ITS TRANSMISSION REPLACED. THANKFULLY WE HAD BOUGHT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. WELL, 5 MONTHS LATER IN MAY OF 2011, MY CAR STARTED JERKING BADLY WHEN SHIFTING AND SOMETIMES DIDN'T WANT TO GO INTO GEAR WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. GUESS WHAT, NISSAN DEALERSHIP SAID THE LAST TRANSMISSION (2ND ONE FOR THE CAR THAT WAS 5 YEARS OLD HAD 85000 MILES ON IT)WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AGAIN, IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN LESS THAN 12 MTHS OR 12000 MILES ON THE LAST TRANSMISSION THEY HAD PUT IN THE CAR. SHOCKINGLY, HERE IT IS, A LITTLE OVER 2 YEARS LATER AND GUESS WHAT???? MY CAR ISN'T WANTING TO GO INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE WITHOUT WAITING FOR 30-90 SECONDS. CALLED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE PRETTY SURE THE CAR NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION!!!!!! THIS WILL BE THE 4TH TRANSMISSION THIS 7 YEAR OLD CAR HAS HAD. IT HAS 125000 MILES ON THE CAR, SHOULDN'T IT JUST BE HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES NOW???? OH AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF, THE CAR IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THE NISSAN WON'T COVER THE COST OF REPLACING THIS TRANSMISSION BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN MORE THAN 12000 MILES/12 MTHS SINCE THE LAST ONE WAS PUT IN! SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG WITH NISSAN TRANSMISSIONS AND I TOO WILL BE SURE TO NEVER PURCHASE A NISSAN EVER AGAIN AND WILL BE SURE TO LET ALL MY FRIENDS KNOW NOT TO EITHER! *JS

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WITH ROUGHLY 47.5K MILES ON IT. WHEN I AM IN TRAFFIC AND ACCELERATING AND BREAKING CONSTANTLY, MY CAR JAMS INTO GEAR. WHEN I GO FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE AND BACK AGAIN (PARALLEL PARKING, 3-POINT TURN) MY CAR HAS TROUBLE GETTING INTO GEAR AND THEN FINALLY SLAMS INTO GEAR. MOSTLY HAPPENS IN FIRST 3 GEARS. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND NOTICED THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE VALVE BODY IN NISSAN MAXIMAS, SPECIFICALLY 2006 MODELS. *JS
