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.
I took my car to Nissan for jerking it was reported to me that I had to have a Catalytic coverter. This did not fix the problem of the jerking. It was fixed along with a sensor. I received $140.00 dollars back from Nissan. Catalytic coverter supposed to be guaranted for 10 years or 100,000 warranty. My car was eleven years old with only 74,664 miles. Still having same problems
Check engine light kept coming on so I got the error code to find out what the problem was. Looked online to see if other people were having the same problem. There were very many. Catalytic converter bad. Transmission bad. I've bought my last Nissan. Crappy cars!
