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 contact stated the turn signal switch and the headlight switch are located on the same lever. When pushing up to turn the right signal on, the headlight switch inadvertently gets turned on, causing the headlights to go off. This has happened once at night at a highway speed of 55 mph. The dealership has not been notified. Updated 4/11/2006 -
