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.
The car has always been really loud, a neighbor of mine had an older Maxima and hers sound the same. Loud like idling sound while starting, while driving it, etc.
The problem before was the check engine light was on and the transmission was only shifting on second gear. Vehicle sometimes dies on stops. I put a new transmission, new crank sensor. after all that the only symptoms are idles up and down and once in a while engine dies.
