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.
There was a recall on my vehicle in Janaury 2006, I took it to the dealer in May 2006 for preventive service while having my car seviced the recall issue was taken care of. June 2010, I smelled rubber burning and called AAA, Driver realized after investigating the car he found a hole maybe the size of a fist on the floor mat. Car was towed to Gardena Nissan, and now I'm told because they found pennies in the seat. The seat belt harness was electrical wires were shorted out and that I would have to pay for it $5,000.00. I refuse to pay I have an extended warranty.
