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.

After 24,000 miles the Goodyear Eagle tires on my 2005 Nissan Maxima developed a bubble on the sidewall in exactly the same spot on both tires. When I took the car to the Goodyear dealer for warranty repair they told me it was not covered and they said the tires had an "impact break." They said this was not uncommon in this tire and they see it all the time.
Consumer Goodyear tires had a crack along the inside area. ***** the consumer felt vibrations in the steering wheel. The technician noticed crack on the inside of all four tires. The tires were replaced at a prorated rate.
