2006 Nissan Maxima

TRANSMISSION STARTED SHIFTING HARD AND OCCASIONALLY REVVING BEFORE GOING INTO GEAR WHEN STARTING OUT OR BACKING UP. WE HAD THE FLUID CHANGED AND ADDED LUCAS TRANSMISSION FIX. THIS SEEMED TO FIX THE ISSUE FOR 3 MONTHS OR SO THEN IT STARTED AGAIN. GOING TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION CHECKED AT A LOCAL SPECIALIST SHOP. WITH SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE WHY HAS NISSAN NOT ISSUED A RECALL. THEY PRIDE THEMSELVES IN SELLING RELIABLE AND QUALITY PRODUCTS THIS IS NOT SO. *TR

IT STARTED HARD SHIFTING AND JERKING IN THE BEGINNING AND THEN IT WOULD LEVEL OUT. AFTER AWHILE IT WOULDN'T GO IN GEAR. TOOK IT TO GET IT CHECKED AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF $3000 OR MORE. I HAVE FRIENDS AND FAMILY THE HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE, WITH SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE WHY HAS NISSAN NOT ISSUED A RECALL. THEY PRIDE THEMSELVES IN SELLING RELIABLE AND QUALITY PRODUCTS THIS IS NOT SO. *TR

I HAD MY VALVE BODY REPLACED DUE TO HARD SHIFTING AND A DELAY IN TRANSMISSION ENGAGEMENT WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE. VEHICLE IS START TO EXHIBIT SAME SYMPTOMS AND I WAS INFORMED THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF $2,500 VEHICLE HAD 148,000 MILES ON IT. NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS INFERIOR QUALITY AND WORKMANSHIP. *TR

MY 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA BEGAN HARD SHIFTING WHILE DRIVING, REVERSING, AND SHIFTING INTO DRIVE. I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT SERVICED OVER THE SUMMER AND THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDED A TRANSMISSION FLUSH AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. OF COURSE THAT DID NOT FIX ANYTHING. THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE TO THE POINT WHERE IT CAN TAKE UP TO 5 SECONDS FOR THE CAR TO SHIFT INTO GEAR WHEN I AM PUTTING IT INTO DRIVE. I CONTACTED THE NISSAN CORPORATION AND THEY ADVISED ME TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE IT DIAGNOSED. WELL OF COURSE NOW THE DEALERSHIP SAYS WE NEED TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED...TO THE TUNE OF $3,000. WHEN I CONTACTED THE NISSAN CORPORATION THEY INFORMED ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO HELP ME AND THAT MY CAR DIDN'T FALL WITHIN THE PARAMETERS OF THE CVT TRANSMISSION EXTENDED WARRANTY. SO NOT ONLY ARE WE OUT $150 FOR A DIAGNOSIS THAT WE ALREADY KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, BUT NOW WE HAVE TO GET THE VEHICLE REPAIRED OR IT WON'T BE SAFE TO DRIVE. WE HAVE OWNED TWO NISSANS AND THE PREVIOUS ONE WAS A 1996 MAXIMA THAT NEVER GAVE US ANY PROBLEMS. I WISH I HAD THAT CAR BACK AND NOT THIS "UPGRADED" MODEL. I USE TO THINK THAT NISSAN WAS A COMPANY THAT STOOD BY ITS CUSTOMERS AND STRIVED FOR SATISFACTION, BUT I NOW KNOW THAT IS NOT THE CASE. WILL NHTSA EVER LOOK INTO THESE COMPLAINTS AND FORCE NISSAN'S HAND AS FAR AS THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE GOES? THERE NEEDS TO BE A SAFETY RECALL, NOT JUST A BULLETIN. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR,DOING APPROXIMATELY 35MPH,WHEN THE ENGINE REVVED AND THE CAR BUCKED. I HAD MY TRANSMISSION FLUID CHECKED,AND ADDED WHAT NEEDED TO BE ADDED,FIGURING THAT'S WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. IT WASN'T. THE CAR HAS CONTINUED TO DO THIS FOR THE LAST 3 MONTHS,AND TODAY THE TRANSMISSION WENT ON THE CAR. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2013 WITH 88,000 MILES ON IT AND NO WARRANTY. IT IS NOW 2015,AND THE CAR HAS JUST ABOVE 100,000 MILES. *TR
