2006 Nissan Maxima

MY 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA SL'S TRANSMISSIONS JERKS VERY HARD INTO GEAR AFTER A SLOW DOWN OR WHEN PUT IN REVERSE. AS SOON AS I ENTER AN EXPRESSWAY RAMP, MY CAR JERK SO HARD INTO GEAR THAT I ALMOST LOST CONTROL AND WENT OFF THE RAMP. I TOOK MY CAR TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THAT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION EVEN THOUGH I ONLY HAVE 82000 MILES ON MY CAR. ( I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED 100,000 MILE WARRANTY FROM NISSAN WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR).THAT DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT IT FROM. WHEN I TOOK IT THERE, THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM THAT I DESCRIBED. I KNOW THAT I'M NOT CRAZY AND I HAVE READ OF NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME KIND.BOTTOM LINE IS MY TRANSMISSION WAS NOT FIXED BY NISSAN AND I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. *TR

2006 NISSAN MAXIMA: ABS ACTIVATES WITH NORMAL BRAKING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND IT IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT ON NISSAN'S PART. HOWEVER, THE RECALL HAS NEVER BEEN ISSUED, AND NISSAN CHARGES THOUSANDS OF $ FOR THE REPAIRS IF THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF 36,000 MILES WARRANTY. THE SERVICE BULLETIN HAS BEEN ISSUED IN JULY 2007, REFERENCE NTB07-016B. *TR

I OWN A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA THAT NOW HAS 84,000 MILES. AROUND 80K THE CAR STARTING MAKING SEVERE JERKING MOVES WHEN CHANGING INTO AND FROM LOWER GEARS (1ST TO 2ND, 2ND TO 3RD). THIS HAS TO BE DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE RPM WILL SURGE AND THE CAR WILL MOVE FORWARD AND SLIP OUT OF GEAR. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS BLOGS AND NISSAN HELP BLOGS OF OWNERS THAT HAVE MAXIMA'S BETWEEN 2004-2006 ALL COMPLAINING OF THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM! I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO MULTIPLE NISSAN DEALERSHIPS AND HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGED TWICE! THE CAR IMPROVED FOR A SHORT TIME BUT IS NOW DOING THE SAME THING. PLEASE DO SOMETHING AND MAKE NISSAN REVIEW THIS VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR MUCH WORSE. NISSAN CORPORATE IS SLOW TO RESPOND AND AWARE THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE AND HAS IN SOME CASES REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AND IN OTHERS DENIED A PROBLEM EXISTS. IT DEPENDS ON THE DEALERSHIP AND HOW GREAT OF AN ADVOCATE THEY WILL BE FOR YOU. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE HELP. THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE ONCE THIS CONDITION APPEARS. THANKS. *TR

I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW AND HAVE MAINTAINED THIS VEHICLE WITH 3K MILE OIL CHANGES AND REPLACED THE TIRES. IT HAS STARTED TO MAKE JERK WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1-2 GEAR OR 2-3 AND RECENTLY THE ENGINES REVS UP TO 4RPMS BUT DOES NOT GO ANY FASTER. UNFORTUNATELY MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY BUT FROM LOOKING AROUND OTHER BLOGS AND FORUMS IT LOOKS AS THIS IS QUITE A COMMON PROBLEM. THE ENGINE IS MAKING A NOISE AS IF IT IS RUNNING ON TURBO. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE IS NOT A RECALL THERE IS SO MANY ISSUES WITH THIS CAR ITS RIDICULOUS. THIS IS THE FIRST BRAND NEW CAR I HAVE PURCHASED AND I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW MANY ISSUES IT HAS.

I HAVE JUST PURCHASED A 2006 MAXIMA THAT HAS A TERRIBLE PROBLEM SOMEWHERE IN THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN I'M DRIVING I CAN FEEL THE CAR SLIP OUT OF GEAR AND CAUSE IT TO VIOLENTLY JERK LIKE A REAR END COLLISION EXCEPT THERE IS NOT ONE. I DON'T HAVE ANY LIGHTS ON TO DETECT A PROBLEM BUT I HAVE SEEN ONLINE THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I DO NOT WANT TO BE THE NEXT ONE DEAD ON THE INTERSTATE BECAUSE OF A FAULTY TRANSMISSION. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE I THOUGHT NISSAN MADE QUALITY CARS AND CARED ABOUT THEIR BUYERS BUT NOW I'VE SEEN THAT SO FAR NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THIS. WITHOUT A LIGHT DETECTING THIS PROBLEM A LOT OF SERVICE PEOPLE ARE UNABLE TO FIND THE CAUSE. I CARE ABOUT MY FAMILY AND NOW WILL HAVE NO OTHER WAY TO WORK BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. *TR

MY 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING A SLIP IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE OTHER DAY I TRIED TO CROSS A STREET AND IT SLIPPED ALMOST CAUSING A CRASH WITH A SEMI TRUCK THAT COULD NOT HAVE STOPPED IN TIME. IT FINALLY CAUGHT BUT WAS A CLOSE CALL. NISSAN HAS DONE NOTHING TO ADMIT OR ADDRESS THE ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND I HAVE READ MANY SIMILAR STORIES ONLINE. WHAT CAN BE DONE TO HOLD NISSAN RESPONSIBLE. THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME TYPE OF PRESS COVERAGE. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE ANYTHING IS DONE. *TR

THE POWER TRAIN MANUAL TRANSMISSION HAS A DEFECT THAT CAUSES IT TO GO OUT. I HAVE ALREADY BEEN TOLD ITS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT BUT THE COMPANY REFUSES TO PAY FOR MY REPAIRS BECAUSE ITS AFTER MY WARRANTY. I THINK THAT IF THE MADE A FAULTY PRODUCT THEY SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. NOT THE CONSUMER. I WILL SUPPLY MY VIN NUMBER BUT AFTER I AM CONTACTED. THANK YOU. *TR
