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.

First of all, whoever invented or created the Nissan Maxima 04,05,06, were those people aware of those major issues with those brands and models? how is it possible that after knowing the issues with those models, you brainless people were still selling those cars..Well, I do know why. reason is " Business- MONEY" . My car doesn't have the check engine light or the service engine soon light on.The problem with my car is that when the car is ON with the brakes on and as I start driving off, the RPM goes from 1 to 4 and then from 4 to 1, and feels like the car looses power at speeding. Dealership diagnostic was " no transmission problems."" They advised me about some other issues but nothing to do with the issues I just described. By reading some comments about those issues, I noticed most people have being talking about some sensors that could be causing those problems. I don't want to hear comments or suggestions about what we ""COULD DO "" to get fix those problems. Nissan, you are responsible for ""YOUR"" cars. We the customers buy your cars thinking that the cars are in good conditions. I just hope you can understand and fix not only my car, but all those other people who bought ""your"" damaged cars as well.
