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.

Every time I turn around something else is wrong with my Nissan maxima from leaking oil to my lights flashing on and off on the dash and my steering wheel. I am scared to drive my car afraid I will be stranded on the road. I thought nissans were good cars boy was I wrong......
Has anybody else had problems with their lights and leaking oil? This car is a peace of junk gave 6000 dollars for something I am scared to drive a mile down the road
