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 in for jerking and was told by Nissan that the two front Struts had to be repaired. I was told this would stop the jerking motion. That day I ended up spending $3662.55 on my car. I paid for all repairs and after I left repair shop at Nissan the jerking motion started again. I called Nissan back and told them what was happening. Nissan told me to come back in. It still has not been fixed.
