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.

My AC went on the fritz blowing out hot air. I took it in for repair. I have a great mechanic and he tried several low budget fixes. Eventually, I had to replace part of the AC unit. More $$$$ on this lemon! No more Nissan vehicles for me. This is just another problem added to my laundry list of vehicle repairs.
