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.

My skyview - which is a glass on the roof that doesn't open - had a recall for replacement about a year after buying it new in 2004. I had the work done by taking it to the Nissan dealer. They sent it to a glass shop. It had been ok for years but started dripping water by the glasses holder near the rear view mirror.
It used to be minor, but now when it rains hard, I'm getting a significant stream, to the point I have to leave a towel over the gear shift area to catch water. Of course Nissan says it's out of warranty. This is a crappy company and I'll never buy another Nissan. It has shifted crappy since I bought it, the struts don't hold up, anti lock system crapped out and many more annoying and expensive problems. Also, I think the water running down the side walls messed up the electric door locks and windows!
