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 check engine light is on. It has been reset several times but continues to comes back on after driving it 30+ miles. It's not the gas cap. We have checked everything. I wonder if it's because of the transmission problems I'm getting with the car shifting hard.
