CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2004-2006 Nissan Maxima has widespread transmission problems. It starts with the vehicle jerking when shifting, & progresses to full-blown transmission failure.
Maxima owners report spending $3,000 to replace the transmission, typically around when the odometer hits 100,000 miles.
There's a class action lawsuit filed in late 2011, & it is still in the "discovery" stage. Apparently, these things take time ... far too much time.
ONCE AGAIN I THINK IM GONNA BE NISSANS WORST ENEMY PUT NEW TOP OF THE LINE OEM ROTORS AND PADS ON AND THEY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AFTER ONLY 3 MONTHS IF THAT. ONCE AGAIN NISSAN BALISE IN WARWICK DECIDED TO SAY MAYBE ITS MY DRIVING.OK BUT THERE'S A PROBLEM THE CAR WAS STORED FOR 2 MONTHS AND THERE WAS ONLY 1K MILES PUT ON IT SINCE THE ROTOR'S WERE REPLACED. WHATS GOING ON NISSAN I KNOW WHEN I MESS UP I APOLOGIZE AND CORRECT MY MISTAKES.
Nissan has in its warranty that this is NOT covered. It seems a number of manufacturers are having this problem. Why is it not covered by warranty, when it seems to be a fault with the metal and or the discs.
