2006 Nissan Maxima

FROM NOV 2009 TO JAN 2010, I REPLACED THE ACTUATOR, REAR WHEEL SENSOR, HUB AND COMPONENTS. NOW, THE DEALERSHIP STATES THAT I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE ALL OF THAT AGAIN (DEC 2010). A PART THAT WAS REPLACED LAST YEAR RUSTED CAUSING "RUST INTRUSION" AND NISSAN DOES NOT CONSIDER THAT PART TO BE DEFECTIVE (EVEN THOUGH THAT SAME PART IS LESS THAT A YEAR OLD). SO IN LESS THAN A YEAR, I HAVE SPENT $4000 TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUES REPAIRED (NOT REALLY) TWICE. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 06' MAXIMA IN 08' I HAD IT FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS AND THE CD PLAYER DOESNT PLAY ANY THING IT SKIPS SPITS THE CD OUT AND AN ERROR MESG. COMES UP. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY "FIXED IT" SO THEY SAY 1 WEEK LATER IT STARTS WITH THE SAME ISSUE I CALLED AND THEY SAID THEY CAN DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT MAYBE ITS THE CD. SO I NEVER GOT THAT ISSUE FIXED. AN OTHER ISSUE IS MY CAR HAS ABOUT 70K MILES AND EVERY TIME THE CAR GOES 20-30 MPH IT HAS A HARD HIT TO CHANGE GEARS EVERY TIME. MY CAR GET SERVICED EVERY 3-4 MONTHS AND NOW I NEED A NEW TRANMISSION!! I ONLY WORK ABOUT 20 MILES FROM WHERE I LIVE HOW CAN THAT BE? ALSO I HAD TO REPLACE SOME KIND OF BRAKE PART. EVERY TIME I WENT TO BRAKE THE CAR MADE THIS NOISE AND IT STARTED TO SHAKE THE SOUND WAS THIS GRINDING SOUND THEN AN OTHER SOUND STARTED LIKE WHEN YOU PRESS THE BRAKES AND THE ROADS ARE WET. BUT SHAKING REAL BAD. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID ITS W & T ON THE CAR. WHEN I ASKED HIM HOW OFFTEN THIS HAPPENS AND HE SAID NOT THAT OFFTEN SO HOW CAN THAT BE? OTHER THAN THAT ITS LITTLE THING LIKE MY TRUCK LOCK DOESNT STAY PUT I HAVE TO TIGHTEN THE BOLTS OF IT ONCE AWEEK PLEASE MAKE NISSAN DO A RE-CALL I HAVE READ ALL THE COMPALINTS AND THEY ARE ALL THE SAME AND EXPENSIVE ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 MAXIMA AND HAD THE SITUATION ONE DAY IN AUGUST 2010 WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKE THE ABS ENGAGED. THERE WAS A GRINDING TYPE NOISE LIKE AN IMPELLER WAS BROKEN. WHEN I CHECKED AROUND WITH SOME DEALER THEY SAID THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM. AN INFINITI DEALER TOLD ME THAT IF I DISCONNECT ONE OF THE SENSORS ON THE REAR WHEEL THE ABS WOULD BE DISABLED. THE BRAKING WOULD BE AS IF THERE WASN'T NO ABS. IN THE WINTER YOU HAVE TO TURN OFF THE VDC OTHERWISE YOU WOULD STILL HAVE PROBLEMS. THERE WAS NO INFORMATION OF WHAT PARTS NEEDED TO BE CHANGED OUT. *TR

2006 NISSAN MAXIMA, PURCHASED FROM STONE MOUNTAIN NISSAN IN STONE MOUNTAIN, GA ON 2-16-08, IS EXPERIENCING HARD SHIFTING IN LOW GEARS (2-3RD GEAR). THE TRANSMISSION DROPS WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE AS WELL AS FROM PARK TO DRIVE. EVERY TIME I TOOK CAR BACK TO DEALER THEY SAY "THEY CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM" ON THANKSGIVING 2010, I WAS TRAVELING ON THE ROAD WITH THE BABIES WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY MAKE THIS LONG JERKING MOVEMENT. CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. DEALER NOW SAYS TRANSMISSION NEEDS REPLACED. (REMEMBER, THEY NEVER COULD REPLICATE THE PROBLEM!) *TR

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. I HAVE MY CAR SERVICED EVERY THREE MONTHS AND NOW AT ONLY 69,000 MILIEUS MY TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED. A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING MY VEHICLE I NOTICED A ?WHINING? NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE AND WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THE MECHANIC COULD FIND NO ISSUE. I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A TRANSMISSION DEFECT ON THE 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

MY TRANSMISSION BEGINS TO SLIP AND JERK AND GET STUCK NOW MY CAR HAS 94000 MILES ON IT THE DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER READS SHIFT MALFUNCTION AND FROM WHAT I HAVE HEARD AND READ THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS MODEL MY AUNT HAS THE SAME CAR AND HERS HAS STARTED DOING IT TO. IT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT THE CONSUMERS FAULT OR ANYTHING THE CONSUMER COULD PREVENT I THINK NISSAN RECALL THIS BECAUSE IT IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU ARE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT AND YOU CAR SLIPS OUT OF GEAR. *TR
