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.

About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
There is a rumbling noise coming from the right front wheel area when going over bumps at any speed. It sounds like a loose tie-rod ends or axle. The noise stops or is muffled when the brakes are applied when going over bumps. I have taken it back to the dealer four times and they have not been able to repair it. I also have a 1997 Nissan pathfinder le, which I have been told that the tie-rod and axle need replacing and it produces the same noise when going over bumps except more severe. The paint on my Maxima also has a rough finish to it.
