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.

Nissan couldn't say anything about my issues, but, said it would take too long to research and chalked it up to the age of the car. Which leads me to wonder if Infinitys and the newer Maximas are lumped into the 'it would take too long to research' category. I'll be checking the other makers for a better replacement.
