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 car was in an accident. 90% of the damage was the front end. The front end on the driver's side was damaged to the frame of the car. The air bags did not deploy. The damage to my car, a 2006 Nissan Maxima, was S10,500.00. I have pictures of the car.
