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.

This car has been giving me issues since my husband bought it. I took it to the shop and they fixed the radiator, but once it came out driving the same way. But today my car caught on fire while I was driving on the freeway to church. The 2004 Maxima needs to be recalled if you ask me.
