2006 Nissan Maxima

THE TRANSMISSION ON MY NISSAN MAXIMA 2006 CONSTANTLY JERKS AND MAKES LOAD THUMPING SOUND WHEN PLACING THE CAR IN GEAR ESPECIALLY FROM A DEAD START AND WHEN BRAKING FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS TO FULL STOP.THE TRANSMISSION WAS FLUSHED BY THE DEALER IN 2010 IT RAN SMOOTH FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND IS NOW SHOWING SIGNS OF MALFUNCTIONING EACH TIME IT IS DRIVEN. *TR

I WOULD LIKE TO ADD TO THE GROWING NUMBER OF CONCERNED CONSUMERS THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I'M HAVING WITH MY 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA SL TRANSMISSION. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN AUGUST 09. I CURRENTLY HAVE 64,000 MILES AND HAD THE VEHICLE LESS THAN 2YRS. AND NOW THE TRANSMISSION HAS GONE UP. ALSO TO MAKE MATTERS WORST MY EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 57,000 MILES AND THE EXPIRATION DATE IS AUGUST 2012. CARMAX OR THE WARRANTY COMPANY WILL NOT HONOR THE POLICY, STATING THAT THE MILEAGE CAME FIRST. HOWEVER; MY EXPERIENCE WITH TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS STARTED OVER THE MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND 2011. AS MY FAMILY & I WAS DRIVING BACK FROM SOUTH CAROLINA MY AIR CONDITION WENT OUT AFTER A VERY LOUD THRUSTING MOTION ACCOMPANIED BY A HARD JERK. AFTER RETURNING HOME THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WHO DIAGNOSED THE SYMPTOMS AND NOT THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. (CODE #P0780) INDICATED THAT THERE WERE SEVERAL THINGS THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS PROBLEM. THE FIRST IS GEAR SECTION - SHIFT MALFUNCTION AND THE SECOND BEING WIRING TR SENSOR, SHIFT SOLENOIDS AND LAST BUT NOT LEASE TRANSMISSION MECHANICAL FAULT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT HAVE NOT YET RESPONDED. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN, MAXIMA I BOUGHT BRAND NEW FULLY LOADED AT $32,000 2 YEARS AFTER HAVING IT STARTED JERKING ON ME ON THEY STATED IT WAS THE MOTOR MOUNTS SO I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT THAT WAY AND FIND OUT NOW AFTER 80,000 MILES IT HAS BEEN MY TRANSMISSION FAILING AND SLIPPING. IT JERKS SO HARD AND THE CAR EVEN TURNS OFF ON ME AT TIMES, IT STRUGGLES TO DRIVE UP HILLS MY CAR IS STILL;L IN GREAT CONDITION BUT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION REALLY??? AT 80,000 MILES WHO THE HELL DOES THAT, AND THEN ITS GOING TO RUN ME ALMOST $3,000 OR MORE IF THAT. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE BROUGHT TO ATTENTION FOR ALL NISSAN MAXIMAS AND BE RECALLED ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE HAS AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION FAILING!!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTING HARD AND FAILING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REBUILT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

MY 2006 MAXIMA STARTED HAVING TRANSMISSIONS PROBLEMS ABOUT 1MONTH AGO ; MY WIFE COMPLAINED THAT THE CAR WAS JERKING HARD WHEN SHE SLOW DOWN AND STARTED BACK DRIVING; I TOOK IT THE SHOP THEY SAID MY MOTOR MOUNT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, SO THEY REPLACED IT, DID NOT HELP AT ALL; TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE SHOP AN THEY SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND NISSAN HAD ALOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS 2006 MAXIMA. *TR

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO STRUGGLE FROM TAKE OFF TO SHIFTING FROM 1ST, 2ND AND 3RD GEAR. WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS RELEASED THE VEHICLE MAKES A VIOLENT FORWARD THRUSTING MOTION ACCOMPANIED BY LOUD CRASHING NOISE SIMILAR TO THAT OF BEING HIT IN A REAR END CRASH. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT SPEEDS OF 50 MPH AND ABOVE THE GEARS CAN BE HEARD SHIFTING AROUND AS IF THE CAR IS IN NEUTRAL. THE RPM GAUGE GOES UP TO 3 AND BEYOND AND THE ENGINE CAN BE HEARD REVVING UP. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I RELEASE MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL AND LET THE CAR SHIFT BACK DOWN UNTIL THE NOISES STOP. THE NISSAN SERVICE TEAM DIAGNOSED THE CAR AS NEEDING A TRANSMISSION FLUSH AND FUEL INJECTION CLEANING. THESE SERVICES WERE PERFORMED BUT THE PROBLEMS STILL REMAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE WAS EXPERIENCING A RECURRING FAILURE IN WHICH THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED REPLACING OVER A PERIOD OF TWO YEARS. WHEN STARTING, THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK VIOLENTLY BEFORE STALLING. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER AND THEY ADVISED HIM THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND THE VALVE BODY WOULD NEED REPLACING. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I HAVE A 2006, NISSAN MAXIMA SE. I'VE BEEN HAVING SEVERE PROBLEMS WITH MY TRANSMISSION. THE CAR JERKS VIOLENTLY WHEN ITS CHANGES GEARS BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND, AS WELL AS BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD GEAR. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM ONLINE, I'VE SEEN COUNTLESS NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. I RE-BUILT THE TRANSMISSION AT MY EXPENSE OF $3,200 AND IT WASN'T OVER YET, THEN CURRENTLY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND MY CAR WONT START, I WOULD HAVE TO TURN THE KEY ON AND OFF 4-6 TIMES EVERY TIME I NEED TO DRIVE FOR IT TO START. MY SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING, THEREFORE I CAN'T SEE HOW FAST OR SLOW I'M DRIVING NOR IS THE MILEAGE CALCULATION ARE WORKING IT HAS BEEN STUCK AT 86,745. SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM FROM 2004 TO 2008. I DON'T SEE HOW THIS COULD GO ON. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE ELECTRICAL FAILS AND THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD DIM TO WHERE I AM NOT ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND UNABLE TO USE MY SIGNALS FOR SAFETY CONCERNS, ESPECIALLY WHILE TRAVELING AT NIGHT TIME. THE VEHICLE SHAKES AND IS UNSTABLE AT TIMES. THIS IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM WORK AND I NEED A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. THE SAD PART IS THAT I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER FOUR TIMES NOW AND EVERY TIME I PAY THESE HIGH FEES FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND THEY CAN NOT GIVE ME A SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM.

MY 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA (3.5SL AUTOMATIC TRANS) WHICH WE PURCHASED NEW IN 2006, EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE TODAY WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IN THE CITY OF BATON ROUGE. THE CAR NOW HAS 86000MI, BUT THE SHIFTING/SLIPPING BEGAN AT ABOUT 77000MI. WE HAD A FLUID SERVICE DONE RECENTLY HOPING THIS WOULD CURE THE PROBLEM, BUT IT DID NOT. THIS WAS DONE AT 84000MI. THE MECHANICAL FAILURE WHILE DRIVING CAME WITHIN INCHES OF HER BEING BROADSIDED BY A ONE TON COMMERCIAL DELIVERY TRUCK ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THE ACCIDENT WAS NARROWLY AVOIDED THANKS TO THE TRUCK DRIVERS ALERTNESS, SWIFT REACTION. PLEASE, THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR FAR TOO LONG, TO FAR TOO MANY MAXIMA OWNERS, THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. I WAS ALMOST A WIDOWED FATHER TODAY. *TR
