| While accelerating from a stoplight to approximately 45mph on northwest expressway in oklahoma city, the automatic transmission began shifting hard instead of the normal smooth shifting. it seemed as though it stuck momentarily or was even shifting down instead of up to the next gear. when i got on a residential street going at a slower speed, the transmission again shifted hard. the strange shifting happened again 2 days later while driving at a slow rate of speed. my husband looked at the transmission fluid on 3/12/13 and thought it appeared to be burnt looking. i took my car to fenton nissan west in oklahoma city on friday, march 15, 2012 and explained the problem i was having. after keeping the car most of the day, we were informed they did not find anything wrong, but the transmission fluid is burnt, but did not change it as this could cause transmission problems. we were not charged anything & were told to wait on doing anything else as there may be recalls. this seemed strange since they originally told us they had not heard from other customers about the transmission problems i had described. | |||

| It all started on our way to the supermarket. we warm up the car in the morning when we were ready to leave and put in reverse it took a few seconds to go into gear but when it did the car shifted really hard. when we put it into drive it did the same thing. on our way to the store the car took a few seconds to shift into every gear and would shift really hard when it did so. from that point we took the car for its check up with the mechanic were he did an oil change, tune up and service the transmission upon telling him what the transmission was doing he said that the transmission was messing up and that nissan had a bad reputation with transmissions going bad prematurely and that he had repaired many nissan of the same year if not newer because of transmission problems. he advise us that after servicing the transmission the problem may or may not go away (our transmission was serviced every 15,000-20,000 prior to problem). we continued to drive the car the transmission finally gave out at 142,864 miles. the transmisson was rebuilt by a reputable shop on 7/09/2010 using nissan factory parts was given a warranty of one year. everything worked fine until dec. 24, 2012 when we went to pick up my brother from the airport and the same thing started to happen as we stated above. we continued to drive the car but very minimal and not very far or not at all until february 19, 2013 at 219,862 miles and 76,998 miles later the transmission went out again for the second time and since we only have one car we were forced to get a loan and repair it again. and $6000.00 later we are scared for a third incident. i hope this matter gets resolved and nissan agrees to compensate the cost. | |||

| I am experiencing transmission problems in my 2005 maxima. the vehicle has only 84000 miles to date and is starting to slip gears in between 1-2 and 2-3 while driving at a slow speed; this also occurs when switching in reverse. this problem needs to be fixed since it can be detrimental to fellow drivers on the road while driving due to the fact of the transmission causing the car to lunge forward when in the act of switching gears. this issue seems to be well documented at this point to nissan corporate as well as the nhtsa database and should be taken seriously. i believe a recall at this point should be in order due to the mass documented complaints of this specific issue. *tr | |||

| Experiencing severe transmission problems. the car has a 5 second or more delay in shifting into drive and once it does shift there is a violent jerk and clunking noise. when driving the rpm gauge goes up and down randomly. gears slip from 1st to 2nd at any given moment. i know my car has 100k miles but it has been superbly kept since manufactured so this is baffling to me. i have spent hundreds of dollars on transmission flushes and tune ups hoping to alleviate the problem to no avail. i don't see myself spending thousands of dollars to replace a transmission that obviously was predestined for failure! i love foreign cars nissan especially this is my second but at this point i am seriously considering toyota and never buying or recommending a nissan ever again! *tr | |||

| The transmission has begun to jerk excessively when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. sometimes it jerks so hard the occupants get tossed forward a bit. it lags when shifting from park to drive also resulting in the car to jerk violently. this is horrendous that a car that has 70,000-80,000 miles on would have such a serious transmission problem already. its dangerous and from research i've found is not isolated, but rather a widespread issue with the 2004-2005 nissan maxima's. its absolutely ridiculous that nissan hasnt made a recall on what they know are faulty transmissions. i had a honda civic that had well over 110,000 miles on it and i never had a single power-train or engine issue with that car. i for one will never by another nissan again! *tr | |||

| The transmission has begun to jerk excessively when shirfting from 1st to 2nd gear. sometimes it jerks so hard the occupants get tossed forward a bit. it lags when shifting from park to drive also resulting in the car to jerk violoently. this is horrendous that a car that has 70,000-80,000 miles on would have such a serious transmission problem already. its dangerous and from research ive found is not isolated, but rather a widespread issue with the 2004-2005 nissan maxima's. its absolutely ridiculous that nissan hasnt made a recall on what they know are faulty transmissions. i had a honda civic that had well over 110,000 miles on it and i never had a single power-train or engine issue with that car. i for one will never by another nissan again! | |||

| This nissan has been having issues where it jerks from reverse to drive, upshifting from first to second, and second to third. the vehicle also jerks when down shifting from third to second, second to first and first to park is delayed in shifting. this issue is a safety concern due to affecting the ability to stop the vehicle as the vehicle specifications indicate stopping distance for the vehicle should be. the issue is highly unpredictable as to the severity of the jerk the car will experience which has been known to cause the vehicle to either not stop or slide in inclement weather such as snow. *tr | |||

| Serious transmission issue. it makes a loud noise when it shifts from 2nd and 3rd gear, sometimes it only goes high on rpm without giving any traction to the wheels. also the transmission kicks when i put in reverse after a while of being driving the car. i have already changed the 3 motor mounts because they were broken but i never i thought it would be due to transmission problems. i live in mexico and apparently it's very common also in maximas in mexico. *tr | |||

| First incident: car didn't immediately shift into reverse and when it did, it slammed into gear violently. the problem eventually manifested into the following: 1.) taking off car jerks real bad between 1st & 2nd gear. 2.) slowing down, car kicks & jerks when down shifting 3.) now it's at the point where the car stalls /shuts off 4.) putting the car from park to drive it hesitates about 5 to 7 sec. 5.) transmission slips out of gear under 20m.p.h... causing engine to rev up to 4rpm and sometimes 5rpm. | |||

| While driving, shifting from 1st to 2nd and back from 2nd to 1st gear the transmission shifted very hard, then after a while, the transmission started to slip between gear changes and now the transmission seems to be locked in 3rd gear and will not shift and revs very high and seems to slip at times. when the transmission would slip at speeds and rev high, the transmission would catch again and jerk the car sideways as if changing lanes. very dangerous while driving on any road with cars around. | |||

| I have a 2005 nissan maxima that i bought in 2010 with 87,000 miles, i had the car for 5-6 months when the transmission when out was told this was due to a faulty value body on this model. i called nissan corporate and there was nothing they would do. i then spent $3,000 dollars out of my pocket to have the transmission rebuilt and that helped for a year and half. when the maxima hit approx 130,000 miles the hard shifting, hanging in gear, popping of the transmission returned. this car is not under warranty and will cost a lot to have the transmission replaced. i feel this is defective parts put to use by nissan and they should be responsible for the repairs. *tr | |||

| I just took delivery of a used 2005 nissan maxima with a 5spd auto transmission. i noticed a few times while driving today that the transmission takes some time between gear changes and at times can jerk pretty hard as it changes gears particularly between 1-2-3. it appears to be the early signs of a failing transmission as the shifting can be very rough. i now feel that perhaps nissan was not the right decision, and this will most definitely deter me from buying a new nissan in the future. *tr | |||

| Vehicle started showing signs of transmission trouble with less than 68,000 miles driven. initially, random revving/lagging was less noticeable and jerking was minimal. the problem progressively got more frequent and shifting became harsher and jerking would result in a hard clunking noise. vehicle was brought to dealership service department for a diagnosis. recommendation was for replacement of the transmission, motor mounts and timing chain service to remedy a whining noise from the engine. extended warranty coverage was for 6years/75,000 miles so time constraint had expired although mileage was well under. thus, dealer would not cover under warranty so i contacted nissan corporate for assistance. they were also unwilling to cover replacement of transmission even with this being such a widespread issue with this particular vehicle/model year 04-06. *tr | |||

| I bought my nissan maxima about 2years ago. my dad had bought me a 1999 maxima during my high school years and it never gave me problems. it ran awesome so that's why i ended up buying my 1st maxima and very disappointed. i took it to a transmission specialist because after the transmission would be hot i was having problems. it seemed after coming down speed it would slip and trying to accelerate after breaking for example: if a car infront of me would brake to turn and i would brake and then accelerate the car seems to not know what to do and it gets stuck and doesn't want to accelerate followed by a hard jerk that feels like someone just hit my back bumper. it's so unsafe driving i've had almost been in car accidents because it won't accelerate and almost got hit. it's so frustrating dealing with this car issue especially after just buying it and still making car payments and not being able to drive it. i will never buy nissan again!! my mom bought a 2011 nissan versa and are looking into trading it in for another make for the fear that it will have issues too!! this should be a recall. i can't afford to pay $3000-4000 on a rebuild transmission!!!!! *tr | |||

| I own a 2005 nissan maxima se with approximately 70k miles. i began noticing the transmission slipping over the summer months. in the beginning of september, the transmission seemed to be stuck in 4th gear. i took the car to a shop that specialized in transmission, they replaced 2 electrical components in the transmission which repaired the immediate problem and made the car drivable, however the transmissions for the 2004-2005 nissan maxima appear to be known for early transmission problems. i also own a 1998 nissan altima and have never had problems. the transmission does not function like you would expect a 70k nissan transmission to perform - it slips, hesitates and stutters. there is an obvious manufacturer defect here. as i was driving home from work today, the car was once again acting up and i will, unfortunately, once again, be taking it to the shop. when researching this problem online, there are hundred of complaints about the automatic transmission in this year/model .... please help | |||

| Very hard jerky shifts between 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 1st and accompanied by loud clunking noise. transmission slips out of gear during regular driving allowing the engine to rev freely then jerking back into gear with a loud clunk. the is followed by a burnt oil / electrical type smell that gets inside the car and evident outside after stopping. sometimes i go for days with no symptoms at all and other times it may happen a dozen times in a day. i took it in to the dealer and none of the problems showed up for them but they noted that the engine mounts were broken but that would not cause these symptoms. they suggested a new transmission and motor mounts for $4,000. i drive mainly on the freeways in southern california and have maintained and babied this car since it was new. this is my first nissan and i have loved this car until these symptoms. please suggest what course of action should be taken to correct this and restore my faith in nissan. *tr | |||

| I am having very bad transmission issues. when i take off it jerks real bad in the lower gears and then when i am slowing down about to come to a stop it also kicks and jerks real bad when it gears down in the lower gears. and sometimes it just wont go at all..and then when i sit there a min and put my car from park to drive it hesitates for afew secs and then jumps real bad and then goes into drive.it usually does all this when the car is warmed up. *tr | |||

| Vehicle will not shift into drive unless the transmission lock is engaged (started @ 50k miles). abrupt downshifts at about 20 mph (started @ 70k miles). now the transmission is stuck in 5th and will not downshift (started at 75k miles). vehicle is unsafe to drive and i'm told it will cost at least $3000 to replace transmission. this is completely unacceptable for a vehicle with only 75k miles. i will never buy another nissan product again. *tr | |||

| I had bought a 2005 nissan maxima within a month it started jerking really bad between first and second shift. getting off the freeway and coming to a stop it started jerking really bad it seemed like i had been hit from my back bumper, but it just the shit gear problem. it was really scary especially having my two year old son in the car. i took my car to the mechanic multiple times but they didn't seem to know what the problem was so i looked it up online and there were numerous complaints with the same problem i was having. my maxima now has 75000 miles and does not fall under warranty i am afraid that they are going to charge me $3000 for a problem that alot of nissans seem to have and should have been recalled. *tr | |||

| When will we get a recall for the 2004 - 2005 maxima transmissions? this is obviously a known and wide spread issue. i've found and read many many reports on these transmissions slipping in and out of gear, hard shifting (up and down), hesitating and hard jerk when placed in drive, and breaking motor mounts. mine started this just under 100,000 miles. most cases i've read reported this starting around 60,000 miles. some have been fortunate enough that nissan replaced the transmission, i hope i'm as lucky. transmissions should be dependable and perform well beyond 100,000 miles, much less 60,000 miles. i've had faith in nissan and was really impressed with nissan vehicles until i discovered this epidemic issue. how many does it take to warrant and issue a recall? to protect nissan's reputation and maintain it's customer base, i hope they support their customers in correcting this. *tr | |||

| I bought a 2005 maxima 3.5 sl in 2006 brand new in south carolina. i first started having problems when i had my 60,000 mile service. about two weeks after the service my check engine light came on so, i took it to the dealership. they said there was no codes, and cleared the light. i then took my car in for the 90,000 service and once again around a week or two later my check engine light came on. i took it to the dealer and now their was codes saying my egr valve needed to be replaced. i told the dealership the same thing happened when i did my 60,000 mile service. needless to say their was a recall that they would have replaced it for free but i was just over the mileage where it could have been done at no cost to me. about 3 months later my car jerked really hard, and my car lost complete power then jerked once more and started to move. the gauges in the car went completely out and every light possible on the dash came on. first i was told i have to replace four sensors, and so i did so along with the egr valve. the car ran fine for about two weeks and started doing the same thing. when i went from drive to reverse or vice versa it would jerk real hard before engaging. i then took the car to the repair shop and they said my transmission sensor was bad. i just had it replaced two weeks ago, and now my car is back is the shop doing the same thing. the tcs slip, and every light on the dash is on, and none of my gauges are working. now they say it might be the computer that is bad. this last time i was on my way home from missouri and it disengaged and would not put up speed when i pressed the gas pedal. i was nearly rear ended, and had to pull over because my 12 year old daughter was in the car and got scared. *tr | |||

| The car will jerk really hard switching from 1st and second gear. sometimes the car will just rev when increasing speed and the car won't move! when u park the car and then go to shift it to drive it actually won't kick in for 7-10 seconds. the only reason i'm making a complaint about it is because i was searching online to see of other people had the same problem and there were literally thousands of complaints with the exact same problem and i don't think its right for me and all the others with the same problem to have to put 3000-3500 for a new transmission when clearly this should be a recall! *tr | |||

| I bought this car less than a week ago. it's already beginning to jerk and clunk when shifting between 1st and second gear. yesterday it began to rev and then jump back into gear whenever i tried to pull away from a stopped position. i took it back to the dealer and he paid $1700 + to have the transmission rebuilt because he felt bad for selling me a junk car!. but from what i'm hearing from other drivers with the same car a rebuild only helps for about 6 months or so then the car acts up again.... i'm in the u.s. marines and i need a reliable car to go home and check on my sick father every so often and this isn't seeming so reliable. *tr | |||

| Vehicle started shaking/jerking when pressing breaks for a red light, continued shaking/jerking as i was pressing on the break. shaking and loud noise when car is turned on, jerking of gears as i am driving on freeway, seems to jump gears and takes a long time to catch itself on automatic gear changes. have had this car since brand new and has given all kids of problems. for the last few years i've invested too much on repairs and replacement of parts that had no reason to fail. i expected this car to be a dependable and reliable vehicle based on the reputation of the maker. love the internal features of comfort and luxury but this car fails where it counts....the transmission and under the hood workings. ---i read other complaints about a foul odor in the car... i have recently experienced that strange/stinky odor in my car and thought it was milk or food my kids left in the car...i tend to have my car very clean and after a thorough inspection haven't been able to identify the source of the odor...after reading the other entries i can say it comes from the car itself as other's are experiencing the same thing. | |||

| I bought this 2005 maxima used and not long after i bought it, the transmission would lag in the shifting then when it shifted into gear it would lurch.(feels like being kicked by a mule.) it happens on & off but has become more frequent especially in bumper to bumper traffic. there's also a foul smell noted when this happens like rotten eggs.i read reveiws that confirmed my suspicions about the transmission. of course every time it has been checked out it wouldn't do it, and no computer check showed anything.nissan is aware of this problem, there really needs to be a recall on these transmission.i'll never buy another nissan again, and thats just sad because that's all i have ever owned. | |||

| Began experiencing issue with the transmission at about 75,000 miles. first noticed that when shifting from park into reverse or drive there was a lag of a few seconds and then a noticable surge into gear. then noticed an occasional (non-driver created) revving of rpms in between gears 1 and 2 and from 2 to 3. the transmission doen't appear to know which gear to engage to. these symptoms progressed over time until i satarted experiencing heavy impact like shifts between gears while in motion. the transmission will get suspended in between gears which causes an overly rapid increase in rpm's from 2000-22000 to well above 4500 until i can remove my foot from the gas (this is not from aggressive accelerator manipulation by the driver but an abnormal increase in rpm's from the transmission gear issues). i have noticed the rpm's are not stable when idling (often idles higher than normal) or with no accelerator pressure as well. took the car to a repair shop and they pulled the codes from the computer which indicated the transmission was begining to fail. the flushed/replaced the transmission fluid and indicated it could be weeks, months or maybe longer but the transmission will ultimately fail. online research indicates the transmission valve body is the culprit but also the ecm and transmission grounding are also probable contributors. due to the violent nature on the transmission issues it sounds as though the engine mounts may be cracked as well. this is clearly a manufacturing fault, provides a dangerous situation for the operator, passenger and other drivers. i am surprised that there have not been accidents associated with this due to the instability of the transmission and rpm issues and believe this should be considered for recall. | |||

| Started out jerking hard when going from reverse to drive, began to hesitate between gear changes, and eventually shake. took it to mechanic and was told the transmission needed rebuilt as well as the motor mounts needed to be replaced because of transmission issue. did online research and discovered more incidents of the same thing and that it is a bad valve body. contacted nissan and was directed to a dealer that gave me the run around and when that didn't work refused to see my car because it has 102k miles and they only see cars with 100k or less. | |||

| I am told that i am expericencing problems with my transmission and engine. after careful research, and two mechanic opinions it has been told to me that nissan knew that they had problems with this model of maxima and has not owned up to this problem. neither have they recalled or trying right their wrong. these items are the life of the car. i have also checked the reviews on edmunds.com and there are several owners of this same car that have had the same issues and complaints. i would like to know what measures can be taken against nissan for them own up to these defective components. it will hurt them in the lon run if they do not. i wil certainly make sure that the world knows about this and do not even attempt to purchase a nissan. i only wish i had done this before i purchased this car. | |||

| I bought my 2005 nissan maxima se used and it ran fine a first, but within 2 months the transmission began acting up by jerkng, hard shifting and hi engine rev's. i took it to the nissan dealer and they blame everything else except the transmission. they said it was the motor mounts, but they were new then it was this sensor and that sensor, the dog, the cat anything but the transmission. the dealer gave me a powertrain warrenty when i bought the car so i took it to nissan to do a transmission swap while i had the car there getting some other work done. since it was another warrenty company other than nissan, they tried to milk the warrenty company with parts thrown at it while my car was there. the service manager said that broken subharness caused the problem. with the subharness repaired it did not fix the problem. next he called and said i had a bad vias solenoid was the problem and that would fix it. he called back the next day and said well your car is still stuck in 4th gear and i would like to try something else. i told him no since the warrenty company had called me and telling me what nissan had told them and i was being to anoher story. they told me to take it to a transmision shop from the nissan stealership since nissan was playing us both. the car had become a hazad to drive because it stalled in the middle of shifts and it was hard to predict what it would do next. the car worked fine as long as the transmission was cold, but when it warmed up it was hard jerk and shift city. i nick named the car mule kick since it kicked like a mule. i paid the stealership for the work done i but didn't want to since they didn't fix it and it left on a tow truck. nissan will blame your grandma for the problem before they say it is their transmissions.. these cars need to be recalled and as for this nissan stealership i would not buy a .50 sugar cookie from them. | |||

| My car is a used 2005 nissan maxiama se 4 door and i have around 139,139 miles on the car. i got the car in march of 2011 and after two months the car started jerking. the jerking happens when i put my car from park to reverse or when i'm driving the car slips from the 1-2nd gear and causes a huge jerk like the car is getting rear ended. from some extended web searching i see that this is not only going on in my car but this seems like a recall on this vehicle would be necessary. | |||

| While traveling at highway speeds the transmission (automatic) abruptly changed gears into neutral for several seconds and then abruptly went back into gear. this rapid transition between powered and unpowered condition caused the front wheel drive car to swerve abruptly from torque steer.subsequent to this initial event the transmission continued to change gears into and out of drive or fail to engage gears as it changes between gears. on taking this to the dealer they stated the controller needed to be updated and performed this service. approximately one week after this service the transmission again started randomly changing from a powered condition to neutral at highway and other speeds. the car is currently undrivable due to the torque steer caused by the abrupt changes in the transmission making it unsafe to travel at other then slow speeds. | |||

| At 72k my auto transmission is failing, jerking, bucking and slipping. ive found a service bulletin about this issue and see literallly thousands of maxima owners in the same boat, right around the same mileage. my car isnt in warranty and i will be going this weekend to have this problem confirmed. it appears there is a defect in this year car transmission, but nissan will not man up. i have read some complaints where customers have gotten nissan to pay for their transmission repair..doesnt that indicate some guilt? i have no idea how i will replace my transmission, im a single parent, fighting to keep my house and help my daughter thru college. this needs an investigation and possible recall. i read one account where a womans transmission went out on a busy road and her 2 small children were in the car. | |||

| I like many others am having the exact transmission slipping, jerking problems between 2nd and 3rd gear. the rpm's just jump right up under acceleration, the transmission slips then catches causing a jerking, lurching forward action. it is very dangeroua especcially coming on to a majon highway. because of this i will not let my wife and children drive in the car. we cannot afford the quoted $3500 to $4000 to replace the transmission. nor do we feel as if we should have to. we have owne this car since new. it has been very reliable but this is abusrd. nissan needs to recall this model year and replace with corrected transmission before someone gets killed. or is that what it's going to take to get them to acknowledge the problem. | |||

| My maxima shifts hard when switching into 1st to 2nd gear. it pushes the car forward when moving at slow speeds. when downshifting from 5th to 4th gear, there is a temporary no shift where it feels as if the car is not in a gear and the rpm drops low. when putting the car directly into drive, it takes the vehicle 3-5 seconds to switch into gear. when it switches into drive, you can feel it push the car when your foot is on the brake. if you push the gas when it completely does not shift, the transmission will clunk and jerk the car forward. recently at 126,000 miles, the car is switching gears more freely than normal, constantly switching back and forth between 4th and 5th gear. when going around corners at a faster speed, the transmission will slip, losing power to the car and jerking back into gear. sometimes while driving, the car will come out of gear and go right back in. the transmission in the 2004-2005 maximas are obviously faulty. also, when pushing the gas, there is a delay on moving forward and results in a harder push forward. | |||

| My vehicle has severe transmission problems. it jumps from one gear to another. during the change, which can last up to 10 seconds, the engine is at a high rpm because i am trying to accelerate. then the whole car jumps when it finally makes it into gear. this is highly alarming and dangerous. sometimes it causes a rapid deceleration or acceleration of the care, even while traveling at highway speeds. i have already flushed the transmission - but that has not fixed the problem. | |||

| I am currently the original owner of a 2005 nissan maxima. much to my total shock and dismay, i recently had to replace the automatic transmission at only 98,700 miles. several weeks ago, the vehicle began to sporadically jerk harshly when advancing to first gear between 20-25 mph. this started to happen more and more frequently and at times the vehicle would hesitate right before jerking into first gear and then quickly thrust forward with revved up rpms. needless to say, i felt extremely unsafe driving the vehicle. i took my car to the service department of the nissan dealership where i purchased the vehicle. the service manager informed me that this was an increasingly common problem with 2004 & 2005 model year maximas. he said that the only remedy was to replace the transmission at a cost of approximately $4,000! i took my car to a transmission repair shop for a second opinion and was told the same thing. the mechanic confirmed that this is a major issue with maximas manufactured in those model years. i ended up taking my car back to the dealership and had them replace the transmission. i have researched this issue and have found that there are numerous complaints on various internet sites by owners of 2004 & 2005 maximas who have experienced the exact same problem with their transmission. it's clearly apparent that there is a major defect with the transmissions that were installed in 2004 & 2005 maximas. i have taken very good care of my vehicle and have kept up with regular scheduled maintenance intervals. there is no way that i should have had to replace the transmission at that mileage if it was not defective. i beseech you to recall all 2004 & 2005 maximas and fix this dangerous problem before it causes severe accidents if there have not already been. | |||

| I bought my 2005 nissan maxima new from a nissan dealership with an extended warranty, but about 3-4 months ago, my car started jerking. it started to have issues going from reverse to drive, and i called the dealership to find out what was going on. they ran a diagnosis and told me that it was a transmission issue but that my car was out of warranty. i started to do some research because i've been told many times that my car isn't old enough, nor does it have enough miles on it to have a transmission problem. i decided to call nissan to see if they would help cover the repair; after 2 weeks of having no vehicle, i was told today that they would not cover the repair, but during this time i've done research and there are plenty of websites (carcomplaints.com, nissanhelp.com), forums, mechanics, and other consumers who are having the exact same issue. from the looks of it, the transmission in the nissan maxima from 2004-2008 has some sort of defect but nissan refuses to issue a recall and fix the problem. i don't see how a company can get away with doing this when so many people have voiced their concerns. i have also read that hyundai had the same problem but they recalled all of their vehicles and fixed the problem. i just paid for this car and am a quite devastated that its now falling apart, so what are consumers to do about this issue? | |||

| There are numerous complaints in the nhtsa database about the 2005 nissan maxima!!! 2005 nissan maxima purchased new in 2004. the car keeps making sudden violent jerking movements while driving creating a potential hazard for a car accident. when this happens i have to pull over and restart the car. i can not drive the car on major highways and can not go more that 35mph. the car feels like it is slipping when attempting to drive after being at a stop. there is a long hesitation before the car begins to drive after being put in gear to drive. it also jerks forward suddenly when it does decide to move. sometimes the car won't move when attempting to accelerate. at stop lights i have to shift gears at times to get it to move. another incident included the car not stopping. i had to move it into first gear to get it to stop. the car jerks backwards when reversing. when these problems started the car was taken to nissan because we suspected a transmission problem. they told us it was not the transmission but instead motor mounts,rods, and bolts. i spent almost $3,000 to repair it and the problem still continued. now, i am being told that it is the transmission and given an estimate of $3100. nissan has diagnosed this problem. we discovered that there are thousands of other consumers with the same complaint for the 2004-2005 maxima. this indicates that this is a common problem that nissan is actually aware of. the battery has also had to be replaced 3times. the power doors no longer work neither does the sun roof. i have to drive to get to work and to get the kids to school. i do not like to drive with my kids in the car for fear that the car will not stop again or that there will be a collision because of the jerky movements and the the cars hesitation. nissan has been contacted. no resolution has been offered at this time | |||

| I took my car to a local dealership for transmission failure. they told me that it needed to have a transmission flush which i did and it did not solve the problem. the transmission slips when speeding up from 1st to 2nd, 2nd to 3rd which makes the rpm's go very high. and when slowing down it suddenly jerks hard when downshifting. i takes a few seconds after putting it in drive or reverse and then it jerks hard. also when stopping from a moderate speed, the car sometimes does not shift down to first gear and the only way to go is to press the gas pedal or shutting the car off and turning it back on. i believe that this is a safety issue in which after you are stopped and you are unaware that the car did not downshift back to 1st and then you try to take off and the car takes off very slowly. this is when it can became a safety issue because what if there is a car coming and you cannot speed up. the oncoming car can easily ram your car. | |||

| My maxima has transmission problems. nothing wrong when you first drive it but when it gets warmed up the transmission clunks when it hit 2nd gear upshifting and downshifting. when you put it reverse, it takes 5 seconds to be in gear but it comes with a loud thud. a lot of times it even goes out of gear while you're driving then a tremendous thud when it gets back in gear. when it gets hot, it really gets bad. so bad that the tranny slips in and out of gear until it get in gear then a thud. so basically when i'm driving, i'm in tranny hell. please help! i just paid off this expensive car to have an expensive problem that the manufacturer knows exist. | |||

| The transmission operation on this vehicle is slowly deteriorating. it started this past winter. i was driving around 10 mph and as i accelerated slightly the engine began to race. i thought i had hit an ice patch and the tires lost grip. then it started happening more regularly. when shifting from first to second the engine would race with no increase in speed. the shift from second to third also began to act funny. then occasionally a slight jolt began to accompany these gear changes. the jolts also began when shifting to and from reverse. these jolts at this point in time are occasional but they can be somewhat violent. the transmission has been serviced twice in the last six months. the most recent service only helped for a day or two. | |||

| I have been having problems with my 2005 nissan maxima transmission jerking really bad around 20 mph when decreasing speed and at 15 mph when accelerating. i have called nissan numerous times over the past 2 1/2 weeks. i just got a call back from them monday stating that they could not do anything to help me because the transmission fluid was dark and burnt. i had just had the transmission fluid and filter changed a moth prior to that so know that was not the case. i have not taken my car to nissan for maintenance because they are too high but have taken it in for service on a regular basis. i am asking for their help with the repairs but they have refused so far. i feel this is an ongoing problem with this model maxima, and they should cover the cost! | |||

| I bought my used car from a local nissan dealership with aprx. 74000 miles on it in feb 2010. shortly after i started feeling the transmission shifting roughly in the lower gears. i took it in to a reputable repair shop in june 2010 and they could not find any kind of diagnostic codes in the computer for the transmission, but told me the engine mounts were broken and needed replacing. i replaced the engine mount and also had them flush and put in fresh transmission fluid at that time as well. again very shortly after i started feeling the transmission shifting roughly and it progressively got worse and even started slipping intermittently!! i took my car back to the repair shop and they could not find any codes again. i did some research online and found that hundreds of 2004 and 2005 nissan maxima owners were having the same exact problems!!! i have searched for any recalls, but there are none!! i took the car back to the dealership were i bought it from and spoke with the service manager and he stated that he has dealt with this issue with owners of this make, model ,and year!! i filed a complaint with nissan and spoke with their consumer affairs dept, but the are not willing to help in any way. i believe, as well as hundreds of other owners, that nissan knows about this defect, but is unwilling to issue a recall to the public!!! i think this is completely irresponsible and negligent on nissan's behalf and has shattered my faith in their company. | |||

| This complaint follows along with the many that have been received by the nhtsa about the transmission problems on the nissan maxima. the transmission started jerking when shifting between 2nd and 3rd gear. it would also jerk when shifting from park to drive or reverse. of course the answer is a 4,000 dollar repair for a new transmission,on a car with only 61,000 miles on it. the nature of this problem will only lead to a serious crash or accident in the future. not sure why the nhtsa has not issued a recall on this yet, especially with all the complaints on their web site, not to mention the large number of complaints that can be found by searching on many other sites. i guess what they say is true, that it will take someone being hurt or killed before something is done. how sad! | |||

| Timing chain problem with 2005 nissan maxima. after having my transmission replaced (different complaint), the dealer told me that there was a known problem with the timing chain guides breaking and that my timing chain and corresponding parts needed to be replaced for $1600. i thought this was a problem because my car is not old and should not need this repair. i did research on the internet and found hundreds of cases with the same defect in nissan maxima's. i would like my complaint heard and a possible recall done if possible. this is clearly a nissan defect and problem and not normal wear and tear on the car. *tr | |||

| I have a 2008 maxima se which i purchased last year. the car continues to jerk (hard) when the car is shifting from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd, and it also happens on the downshift from 2nd to 1st. the car was problem-free for the 1st year but for the past 3-4 months it has been a nightmare. the jerking gets so bad, it feels like you're getting punched! the problem is intermittent and rarely occurs on the highway. please let me know how i can get this defective vehicle fixed...at no cost to the owner since it's obviously a manufacture problem. i have spoke with other nissan maxima owners and have read several forums and they are experiencing the same problem! *tr | |||

| 2005 nissan maxima like thousands of others has been shifting violently between gears causing dangerous driving conditions. sometimes the car rpms will jump to 7500 before catching the gear and jerk to the car almost out of control. this needs to be fixed. it's ridiculous that almost all 2004-2008 maximas have this problem and nissan has corrected it but instead charge 3500+ for a new transmission. i'm so done with nissan. this will be the last one i purchase! | |||

| 2005 nissan maxima purchased new in 2004. the car keeps making sudden violent jerking movements while driving creating a potential hazard for a car accident. when this happens i have to pull over and restart the car. i can not drive the car on major highways and can not go more that 35mph. the car feels like it is slipping when attempting to drive after being at a stop. there is a long hesitation before the car begins to drive after being put in gear to drive. it also jerks forward suddenly when it does decide to move. sometimes the car won't move when attempting to accelerate. at stop lights i have to shift gears at times to get it to move. another incident included the car not stopping. i had to move it into first gear to get it to stop. the car jerks backwards when reversing. when these problems started the car was taken to nissan because we suspected a transmission problem. they told us it was not the transmission but instead motor mounts,rods, and bolts. i spent almost $3,000 to repair it and the problem still continued. now, i am being told that it is the transmission and given an estimate of $3100. nissan has diagnosed this problem. we discovered that there are thousands of other consumers with the same complaint for the 2004-2005 maxima. this indicates that this is a common problem that nissan is actually aware of. the battery has also had to be replaced 3times. the power doors no longer work neither does the sun roof. i have to drive to get to work and to get the kids to school. i do not like to drive with my kids in the car for fear that the car will not stop again or that there will be a collision because of the jerky movements and the the cars hesitation. nissan has been contacted. no resolution has been offered at this time. car is still at the dealership. | |||

| I own a 2005 nissan maxima. i am extremely disappointed with this vehicle. the car makes jerking movements occasionally when shifting from park to reverse or drive. you never know when it may happen and it feels as though you are hitting something. today all the lights came, i could not accelerate and the mechanic is saying that it may be my transmission...86,000 miles!! i cannot believe that i am replacing a transmission in a nissan with 86,000 miles. i will never buy another nissan and would not recommend. i have read multiple complaints and am so discouraged. this car is not safe with random jerking motions that nissan cannot diagnose. this car needs to be recalled for its transmission. nissan does not stand by its cars or service | |||

| My 05 nissan maxima transmission has been messing up and so have many others. when the car gets hot it shifts hard between 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 1st. also, when its hot, and you stop to put it from drive to reverse you have to wait several seconds for it to kick into gear. i have only had my car for 6 months and it only has 88,500 miles on it. there is no reason why a car with such low miles and not many years old should have such problems. i have had a car with 300,000 miles on it and never had any problems!!! these cars need a recall, i have heard and saw too many people with the same problems and its ridiculous!!! | |||

| Transmissions shifting hard at 89,000 miles. dealership informed me that it needs replacing. after researching the internet it looks as though nissan is aware of this defect in the transmissions in 04 and 05 nissan maximas but has not implimented a recall. seems the transmissions are going out as soon as the warranty expires. cost to replace is $4,000-$4,800. why should we have to pay this when nissan is well aware of the issue? they bought the defected parts so they should pay to fix them all. | |||

| My 2005 nissan maxima is also showing signs of transmission problems. i have been experiencing jerky shifts when change gears. i took my car to the nissan dealership in newburgh ny , (which i dont recommend!!! ) the car came back with code p0797 , pressure controle solenoid valve stuck on. they looked at the car and found broken wire from ground, which cost me over 400$. when i was driving home i experience the same sensation off jerking while accelerating from gare 1 to 2 (and 2-1).the next day the check engine light came back on. i checked the code in autozone, the same code p0797 was read. brought the car back to the dealership just to find out that, they look deeper in to the issue and found another problem (same code !!!!) supposedly 2 valves on transmission need to be replaced , that will cost another 1200$. i took the car to amcco just to make sure i am doing the right think and found out that the code p0797 stands for mechanical issues not electrical (not for the broken wire!!!!). i called dealership and after long conversation with the manager i was told that they will work with me(not sure yet how) ,but because of my numerous complains he wont fix the valves anymore he want to replace the whole transmission. estimate 4500$ . the manager told me strait up that he knows maximas have issues with transmission(it took him about 30 min. to came strait forward). he forgot to tell me how he will work with me. | |||

| My 2005 nissan maxima is also showing signs of transmission problems. i have been experiencing jerky shifts when change gears. i took my car to the nissan dealership in newburgh ny , (which i dont recommend!!! ) the car came back with code p0797 , pressure controle solenoid valve stuck on. they looked at the car and found broken wire from ground, which cost me over 400$. when i was driving home i experience the same sensation off jerking while accelerating from gare 1 to 2 (and 2-1).the next day the check engine light came back on. i checked the code in autozone, the same code p0797 was read. brought the car back to the dealership just to find out that, they look deeper in to the issue and found another problem (same code !!!!) supposedly 2 valves on transmission need to be replaced , that will cost another 1200$. i took the car to amcco just to make sure i am doing the right think and found out that the code p0797 stands for mechanical issues not electrical (not for the broken wire!!!!). i called dealership and after long conversation with the manager i was told that they will work with me(not sure yet how) ,but because of my numerous complains he wont fix the valves anymore he want to replace the whole transmission. estimate 4500$ . the manager told me strait up that he knows maximas have issues with transmission(it took him about 30 min. to came strait forward). he forgot to tell me how he will work with me. | |||

| 05 maxima transmission/shifting problems my 2005 nissan maxima has about 62,000 miles and started showing signs of what may be serious transmission problems. while driving approxmimately 30 mph, the vehicle would give a hard jerk/jump also when decreasing speed. it feels like i'm being kicked in the back or rear end. a loud clunking sound. i've keep my car maintaned and even inspected by diagnostic nothing shows, no trouble codes show up when they put the car on the scope. the vehicle would be good for a couple of days and then start acting up again, clunking and sometimes bucking like a stubborn horse while driving. mechanics have checked transmission oil and engine oil has been check and very good. i really suspect there is an undocumented flaw with this transmission and it showed up in the late '04 and '05 build cars. | |||

| When the engine is warn and you shift from park to drive or reverse the car jerks really hard before it goes to the desired gear. once it picks up you will feel a jerk while driving especially when you are slowing down from high speed to a stop. it really jerks around 2nd and 3rd shifting, picking up or slowing down. during driving when you depress the accelerator, it does not pick up right away and the engine will rave before it kicks in with a jerk. the transmission slips before it picks up. once you start acceleration, there is a rattling sound when you press the gas. i have taken it to the dealership several time and they tell me they cannot find anything wrong with it and that i should always use premium gas. the last time i had to spend $500 to replace the visa valve and evap valve the the problem still continues. this happens after driving the car and it has warmed up. the dealership cannot replicate the problem because whenever you take it in they wait till the engine has cooled down before they take it for a test drive. it sounds to me like they do it on purpose. my car is about 110k miles and this started about 10k miles ago. | |||

| I purchased my 05 nissan maxima with 60800 miles from a nissan dealer. at about 70000, the transmission began to show signs of costly repairs. the transmission jerks very hard when shifting from 1st to 2nd grear and then when slowing down from 2nd to 1st. just shifting from p to d at times there is about a 3 - 4 second delay then engages to only here and feel a very hard clunk and jerks really hard again. with all the hard shifting the motor mounts are probably going to wear out prematurely too. after going online and reading so many other 04 - 05 maxima transmission issuse with the same symptoms around the same milage. i am convinced this is a factory defect. | |||

| My 2005 nissan maxima had reached roughly 89,000 miles and out of the blue it began shifting hard/jerking during drives over 40mins. the car continued to shift hard while driving and then when i put it into park, reverse and drive it would jerk the entire car. soon the shifting was so bad that i was being thrown forward and back with every little shift of the engine. i took the car into a nissan dealership and described what was happening. they preformed a diagnosis (and reported that they did not find anything.) they informed me that i was feeling the shifting because my front engine mount was broken and that my transmission fluid was bad. i had them complete the transmission flush at that time and had my engine mount repaired 4 months later. i continued to experience hard shifting with the new mount and new flush. i ended up taking the car back in to the dealer for another problem they needed to correct and informed them again that the car was still shifting hard and the engine light was coming on and off. again i was told they could not find anything wrong. currently, my car is shifting in and out of gear every time i drive and is over revving when i try and speed up. i believe all this hard shifting/jerking is what caused my engine mount to crack. | |||

| My 2005 nissan maxima had reached roughly 89,000 miles and out of the blue it began shifting hard/jerking during drives over 40mins. the car continued to shift hard while driving and then when i put it into park, reverse and drive it would jerk the entire car. soon the shifting was so bad that i was being thrown forward and back with every little shift of the engine. i took the car into a nissan dealership and described what was happening. they preformed a diagnosis (and reported that they did not find anything.) they informed me that i was feeling the shifting because my front engine mount was broken and that my transmission fluid was bad. i had them complete the transmission flush at that time and had my engine mount repaired 4 months later. i continued to experience hard shifting with the new mount and new flush. i ended up taking the car back in to the dealer for another problem they needed to correct and informed them again that the car was still shifting hard and the engine light was coming on and off. again i was told they could not find anything wrong. currently, my car is shifting in and out of gear every time i drive and is over revving when i try and speed up. i believe all this hard shifting/jerking is what caused my engine mount to crack. | |||

| I have a 2005 nissan maxima that has developed a transmission problem at only 71,000 miles. the nissan dealership says that i must replace the transmission or have the valve that is sticking when i shift from 1st to 2nd or from 2nd to 1st replaced. to replace the transmission or to change the valve is going to cost me somewhere between $2,500 to $3,500. i don't believe that a car with only 71,000 miles should be required to replace the transmission. judging from all the complaints on the internet about the 05 nissan maxima, i believe the problem is far more wide-spread and should be investigated. | |||

| My 2005 nissan maxima has never had any major problems. i bought it new. i do a lot of highway driving to and from work and have about 93,000 miles now on the car because of the long distances every day. the problem with the transmission has become more noticeable within the past couple months. the automatic transmission shifts very hard from 1st to 2nd and sometimes 3rd and back down and feels like a bucking bronco. today the trans slipped completely while accelerating at least three times on my drive in to work and the rpm's went flying. it's never slipped completely until today. the transmission is failing and it should be lasting a lot longer than 5 years. over the past 2-3 months the problem has gotten worse. now it does the bucking bronco thing every day, several times a day. i have already taken the car in once (to a local transmission shop) and they tried a transmission flush that cost nearly $400. it seemed to help for a couple weeks but the problem is back and is much worse now. i am planning to take it in again but i'm being told that it may cost me $1,500 to $2,000 to replace the transmission. i have seen hundreds and hundreds of reports online for the same issue. this can't be a coincidence and something needs to be done by nissan corporate right away! | |||

| Have a 2005 nissan maxima. it has automatic transmission. it is jerking real hard between 1-2 gear and when slowing down it also jerks. it jerks so hard it feel like im being rearended. this is ridiculous and nissan is aware of this problem and offers no assistance! they know they put a messed up taransmission in these cars! it is not fair! i am not goin to get killed because my car will not go when i pull out on freeway. i could of got killed! it jerks when going from drive to park. i pulled out on freeway this morning and my car would not go, almost got hit by a vehicle. this is a defected transmisiion and there are 1,000's of complaints all over the web about these cars. nissan will not help me at all. this is a major safety issue. someone can get killed because of poor workmanship done on these transmissions. this is not right! this needs a recall and nissan needs to fix this! nissan needs to fix this! they need to fix this!!! my family will sue them if we get hit by a car and me and my kids die because of my transmission not going into gear and getting stuck! | |||

| 2005 maxima..very hard jerking. goes really high in rpms without notice. have read alot of complaints just like mines. motor mounts have been replaced because of the hard hitting from the transmission. nissan knows that there is a serious problem and just doesnt care. car stalls and i was in traffic and was glad that the car behind me noticed that something was wrong. i dont feel safe driving. such a nice car but not worth all the pain its causing. | |||

| I have a 2005 nissan maxima, and have had a problem with the transmission sticking in 3rd gear while going down a hill. it jerks very badly when going from 1st to 2nd...and back down from 2nd to 1st. it also jerks when i go from park to drive. i've taken it to nissan and they explained that i will need a new transmission. this problem started at 65k miles. i first had the valve body fixed, and it stopped jerking for 6 months....but started back. now, i'm told new transmission. i have spent $3,600 on repairs for a car that is 6 years old (5 at the time of repairs), and i am now being aske to spend $4,500 more. nissan will not help as i have called and filed a complaint. after further research, i've discovered that this is a very common problem and is obviously a defect in the parts that make up the transmission. very frustrating and disappointed with nissan. will never purchase another one again. | |||

| My 2005 maxima was violently jerking, stalling and hard shifting from 2nd to 3rd gears and vice versa. i kept telling nissan that something was wrong with my car but they would take may statement say they would get back when me and when they did they said they could not assist me in any way. i took my car to several mechanics spending 1000.00 of dollars and no one could figure out the problem. i took my car to a nissan dealership, after the got the car running because it had stopped on me on the highway coming home from work, the dealerhisp said it jerks in 1st and 2nd gear, i asked if that could be fixed they said they'd try, after another 2000.00 more i brought it home and again the same problem, i brought my car back to nissan and they gave me an estimated list of repairs that needed to be made for approximately $6,000 which included $4185 to replace the transmission. how is it that within a matter of weeks and only 600 miles that it goes from sensors should fix the problem to you need a new transmission, new starter, i then contacted 1-800-nissan1 which was a waste of time they supposedly reviewed my complaint and told me that unfortunately they won't be paying for any of the repairs. what a piece of junk car and i cannot believe a recall hasnt been made on this car! | |||

| Our 2005 nissan maxima is jerking when moving from a complete stop. transmission shifts out of gear and clunks back into gear with a screech of tires. i see where tons of complaints are being filed from other 2005 maxima owners. why are you folks doing nothing about this problem? my car had roughly $65,000 miles on it. nissan needs to own up to this problem and fix it. this is clearly a defect. why are you people ignoring this defect? | |||

| 2005 nissan maxima powertrain went out in 2007 and i replaced it and was told this is something that nissan is aware but have not released a kit to fix it. it is dec 26, 2010 and the replacement transmission went out dec. 24, 2010. this car has had hard shifting and i have been told the mounts need to be replaced in response to the hard shifting just 3 weeks ago.! i am not fixing this car again. in 2007 i called nissan and filed a complaint and nothing was done. the nhtsa has to get involved. the car stopped shifting while my little car was in the car with me on the road. we were almost slammed from behind but the driver behind me swerved in time. please, please do make nissan do something about this. i now have a 35,000 dollar piece of junk sitting in my driveway and i have to go purchase another car. i will be filing a suit! | |||

| I have a 2005 nissan maxima and just like eveyone else i am having transmission problems with this vehicle. it jolts hard when going from park to drive or if i reverse and go to drive. also the cars gear slips between 2nd and 3rd gear. i think it's ridiculous the amount of people having this problem this a vehicle the same year and model and the complaints i have seen and no one is doing nothing about getting it fixed. there should be a recall!!! does someone have to get killed for the issue to be addressed?? | |||

| Tl-the contact owns 2005 nissan maxima. while driving 55 mph the automatic transmission fails. the rpm increased excessively switches in and out of gear while driving. he has to pull to the side of the road turn the vehicle off and on and the transmission resets itself. the vehicle was taken to the dealer who informed him the transmission needed to be replaced at a cost of $4000. the manufacturer was notified who informed him to contact the dealer for a diagnostic test and give them a return call. the failure mileage was 80,000 and the current mileage was 115,000. - mw | |||

| I filed a complaint about my 2005 nissan maxima #10357629 -9/25/10. the situation was the transmission and not mentioned the timing chain. the transmission shut down ; stopped ; failed ; ceased to function fri. nov /12 /10 @ 5;00 pm during rush hour in the center of the busiest freeway in my area leaving me thankful to god and the riverside cty. freeway service patrol with which i filled out a survey #217446 their # 951 369-3691. accidents were behind me somewhere the two driver said i was fortunate to not suffer injury and damage. the maxima cost of repair to nissan's product is over $ 6,000.00. the maxima has only 77,435 miles. these are electrical and mechanical defaults and there are scores of owners reporting similar to identical experiences about their maxima cars from 2004 through 2007. i find it hard to believe that nhtsa haven't recognized this as a dangerous situation. why don't the people that buy these products in good faith get the backing of the nhtsa. there are recalls on windshield wipers and small things like that- that anybody can replace within twenty dollars but this is a substantial problem, this is money for paying rent for months, this is the cost of surgery to keep a working person ambulatory, this is a call for help, a call to keep some of the profits of foreign corporations at home .this is when the force of the nhtsa's authority should seemingly come to the forefront demanding they stand behind their products as safe and trustworthy and certainly not a vehicle doing sixty miles an hour during rush hour coming to a dead stop with vehicles pealing to all sides in all directions desperately avoiding collisions and personal injury as well as injury to others and destruction of property. here i was sitting there eyes shut tight waiting for the slam of some vehicle into mine that refused to budge. i felt like i was in the midst of committing suicide without being able to prevent it. like a nightmare, some evil occurrence descending. help!!! | |||

| 11/04/2010 | |||
| My 2005 maxima was violently jerking, stalling and hard shifting from 2nd to 3rd gears and vice versa. i kept telling nissan that something was wrong with my transmission even though it's their job to tell me what's wrong with my car, but while my car was 500 miles short of the 60000 mile power train warranty expiration nissan kept telling me that i needed a power flush, got that done it did make a huge difference for a couple weeks then the problem continued. brought my car back to nissan at 60100 miles and they gave me an estimated list of repairs that needed to be made for approximately $10,000 which included $4185 to replace the transmission. how is it that within a matter of weeks and only 600 miles that it goes from a power flush should fix the problem to you need a new transmission, new starter, etc. for a minute i thought i was being punked! i then contacted 1-800-nissan1 which was a waste of time they supposedly reviewed my complaint and told me that unfortunately they won't be paying for any of the repairs especially not the transmission because herb gordon nissan had no knowledge that i've ever reported the transmission problem, but luckily for them i keep everything that pertains to my car, when i faxed all the diagnosis reports for the past 5 months to the regional specialist he told me that unfortunately the decision had been made not to pay for the repairs and that if i want to appeal the decision i should go through the better business bureau. wtf??? it tells a lot about the manufacture when they only have a 3 year or 36000 mile warranty with a 5 year or 60000 mile power train. nissan is the absolute worst, will never buy another vehicle from them. buyers beware if you want to throw away more money then your car is worth. nissan is the way to go!!!! | |||

| I bought a 2005 nissan maxima 3.5 se about 3 months ago. well when i bought it i noticed the next day it was jerking tremendously so i called the dealer back and told him what was going on. well he said take it to his mechanic and they would pay for it to be fixed. so i did as he said and took it to his mechanic. well his mechanic said it was it was the rear motor mount and it had broke because of the shifting so hard and he fixed it. well i thought that had fixed the problem..well 2 days later it was still doing the same ol' thing shifting real real hard between 1-2ncd gear and then when your downshifting it jerks between 1-2nd gear. well i called the mechanic back and he wasnt available and the guy said he would have him call back. well, he never called back. and then after that it really never shifted hard. well guess what..its back and its doing it worse than ever! so i did a little researching and come to find out there are thousands and thousands of complaints about this happening to so many people who own a 2004 up to a 2006 nissan maxima. and it is the transmission. sometimes my car takes forever to shift and i am so scared to pull out on the freeway and it not go and then ill get hit and die. so i know it is in-fact a defected transmission because i owned a 2001 nissan maxima gle before i got this one and it never ever had problems at all. and i am so suprised nissan hasnt recalled this because of the thousands of people complaining about the same thing with there 05 maximas shifting hard when going to 1-2ncd gear. and then downshifting. it is a very serious problem and someone will get hurt or killed because of this. i have printed off huindreds of complaints about this and i really need help along with the other thousands of people out there with the same car and same problems. all i want is my car fixed. this is not fair to us especailly after we pay thousnads of dollars for the vehicle and then have to turn around to buy a new transmission. please help | |||

| My car would just start to jerk really hard once it was in 2nd gear and going into 3rd gear. it would start of by occurring every 3rd day, but it worsen so i had it taken into a mechanic to look into it; he couldn't find anything wrong. car was running fine for about 2 weeks, then it began once again with the hard jerking as i was still in 1st gear it jerked into 2nd gear with a loud clunking sound at the end. this time i had took it to another mechanic in which he suggested to change the transmission oil in which he did. once i got my vehicle back it ran fine for the first day, on the second day the problem had returned again and seems to just to get worse. | |||

| 2005 maxima transmission problems. i own a 2005 maxima i purchased new from the dealer. in oct of 2009 i took to nissan dealer due to a strange noise that would occur during acceleration. upon inspection the dealer found the bottom motor mounts broken and replace (under extended warranty) now i am experiencing transmission problems - hard shifts from 1st-2nd and 2nd-1st. there is no indicator light on that says there is a problem. took to a nissan dealer and they could not find anything - yet the problem exists and is getting worse. i am now out of my extended warranty and have read countless blogs that relate to the same issues i am experiencing and yet nissan fails to respond to the consumer. the motor mount issue seems to be directly related to the transmission issue, but nissan simply charges you a $125. inspection fee and sends you down the road telling you your car is fine, when it isn't. what does it take to demand a recall??? i am just getting back on my feet after losing my job, losing my house and now having to deal with a car that will break down any day - leaving me to wonder how the hell i will get to work. i say class action law suit - against nissan and our government who should be regulatitng vehicles and the complaints that are filed against them | |||

| The problem first appeared with hard, almost violent jerking when shifting gears. not too long after that started, i was driving on the freeway when the transmission ceased and i had to limp it off to the side of the road and be towed. the transmission, torque converter and motor mounts had to be replaced. the motor mounts were broken from the hard shifting. it was out of warranty by six months. from the countless number of complaints that i have seen, nissan equipped this model year (and 2004) with a defective transmission yet they will not take responsibility for the repairs by issuing a recall. total cost to repair was $3,559. | |||

| I purchased a 2005 nissan maxima brand new in january 2005. i had never driven the vehicle other than local to work. at 66000 miles my transmission began hard shifting. i contacted nissan corporate office to authorize an out of warranty repair and they refused. it cost me 3200.00 to replace the transmission. now i am having strange noises coming from the front end. i believe it is the suspension. this car has not lived up to my expectations and i hope someone will take into account the many complaints regarding this make and model car and make the consumers back whole. i will never purchase another nissan product simply because the products are poorly manufactured and nissan does not stand behind its product. | |||

| 2005 maxima transmission problems. i own a 2005 maxima i purchased new from the dealer. in oct of 2009 i took to nissan dealer due to a strange noise that would occur during acceleration. upon inspection the dealer found the bottom motor mounts broken and replace (under extended warranty) now i am experiencing transmission problems - hard shifts from 1st-2nd and 2nd-1st. there is no indicator light on that says there is a problem. took to a nissan dealer and they could not find anything - yet the problem exists and is getting worse. i am now out of my extended warranty and have read countless blogs that relate to the same issues i am experiencing and yet nissan fails to respond to the consumer. the motor mount issue seems to be directly related to the transmission issue, but nissan simply charges you a $125. inspection fee and sends you down the road telling you your car is fine, when it isn't. what does it take to demand a recall??? i am just getting back on my feet after losing my job, losing my house and now having to deal with a car that will break down any day - leaving me to wonder how the hell i will get to work. i say class action law suit - against nissan and our government who should be regulatitng vehicles and the complaints that are filed against them | |||

| The problem first appeared with hard, almost violent jerking when shifting gears. not too long after that started, i was driving on the freeway when the transmission ceased and i had to limp it off to the side of the road and be towed. the transmission, torque converter and motor mounts had to be replaced. the motor mounts were broken from the hard shifting. it was out of warranty by six months. from the countless number of complaints that i have seen, nissan equipped this model year (and 2004) with a defective transmission yet they will not take responsibility for the repairs by issuing a recall. total cost to repair was $3,559. | |||

| 2005 nissan maxima jerks when shifting gears. the problem occurs constantly when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. also occurs when down shifting. there is a little bit of a hesitation on the vehicle when down shifting at which point, it finally gets into gear with a jerk movement. vehicle was bought brand new and only has about 88,000 miles. took it in to the dealership to be fixed hoping it would be under warranty and i was told it would cost around $3,000. furthermore, i was told it was the motor mounts. after researching online, found numerous people making the same complaint and nissan would never fix this on their own behalf. it appears that the issue is very common with nissan 2004/05/06 vehicles and it appears to be with the transmission. with several complaints being filed now, i am surprised no recall has been issued on this defect. | |||

| There were no events leading up to the performanc issue/failure. purchase a 2005 nissan maxima. transmission started sticking going into 2 nd gear. i took the car back to the dealer said they could not find any issues. problem escalated- . transmission bangs when downshifting from 2nd to 1st gear. transmission surges when accelerating after slowing down. transmission hesistates at least 15 seconds before engaging into gear when in park or neutral. problem occurs regularly when car is warmed up when taking off into traffic the gears stick which causes the car to hesitate almost stall. this is now a consistant problem. i am afraid that someone will run into me and injure if not kill my child who rides in the back seat and/or another driver could be injured or killed. i have contacted nissan and they claimed not to be aware of the issue. i have tried to work with them for several months. i filed a claim with them and they denied it with no written explaination. i have always had the car serviced on time at the dealer. i am now told that i could replace the transmission for $4000. this is an out rage that nissan is allowed to be so irresponsible by not being held accountable for their faulty and dangerous vehicle. they are getting away with putting drivers lives at risk. | |||

| I have a 2005 nissan maxima in which the transmission has been shifting very hard now for a few months. i took it to be serviced and the dealership told me my fluids were dirty. i have regular oil changes done and recently paid for a transmittion flush. this car is shifting in mid drive down the highway. the problem still persist and the dealership isn't helping fix it. i've read other complaints from consumers having the same problem. no one is getting any answers. this is very dangerous to other motorist as well as myself. i was driving today and the car began to shift as i drove. i had to get into the slower lane becasuse i thought it was going to die on me! it didn't want go up in gear! with so many people posting complaints like myself, it would seem that the dealership would look into this more. i believe there is something very wrong with these cars and there needs to be a recall! if not, this may cause a major accident with serious injuries or even death. something need to be done, and soon!!! | |||

| 2005 maxima has a transmission problem that started at 75,000 miles. this seems to be a very common problem with this car. dealer wants to replace transmission at a cost of about $3,500-$4,000. i have found out through some transmission shops that the problem is the valve body and not the transmission itself. the valve body costs about 1,100 for the part which is much cheaper than a rebuilt transmission so i am going to go the route. the mechanic has done about six of these so far and it has fixed the problem in all of them with none being returned with problems. nissan's quality has really went down the drain. this is my fourth nissan and will be my last, my neighbor and his family have had the same experience with their nissan and will never buy another as well. what a shame that a once great company has fallen to such sub standard quality products. i think i will give honda or toyoto a shot when i get rid of this problem car. in addition to the tranny problem they also said i need to replace my timing belt tensioner which is $1,500 and that i have a broken motor mount, which is another $300 | |||

| I have a 2005 nissan maxima sl and for the past few months there has been a major problem with the transmission. once the car is warm there is a real hard jerk between 2nd and 3rd gear, as well as from reverse into drive. i have taken it to the dealer and they were not able to id a problem, other than the engine mounts were broken and they replaced that for $500. i did some research online and it appears that this is a very common problem with this make and model. i commute in rush hour traffic 45 miles every day, and as i brake or accelerate in traffic the car jerks which is very disconcerting when traffic is bad and you can not anticipate everything other cars are doing. this is a very serious safety risk for maxima drivers and all those around them. | |||

| 2005 maxima has a transmission problem that started at 75,000 miles. this seems to be a very common problem with this car. dealer wants to replace transmission at a cost of about $3,500-$4,000. i have found out through some transmission shops that the problem is the valve body and not the transmission itself. the valve body costs about 1,100 for the part which is much cheaper than a rebuilt transmission so i am going to go the route. the mechanic has done about six of these so far and it has fixed the problem in all of them with none being returned with problems. nissan's quality has really went down the drain. this is my fourth nissan and will be my last, my neighbor and his family have had the same experience with their nissan and will never buy another as well. what a shame that a once great company has fallen to such sub standard quality products. i think i will give honda or toyoto a shot when i get rid of this problem car. in addition to the tranny problem they also said i need to replace my timing belt tensioner which is $1,500 and that i have a broken motor mount, which is another $300 | |||

| I have a 2005 nissan maxima sl and for the past few months there has been a major problem with the transmission. once the car is warm there is a real hard jerk between 2nd and 3rd gear, as well as from reverse into drive. i have taken it to the dealer and they were not able to id a problem, other than the engine mounts were broken and they replaced that for $500. i did some research online and it appears that this is a very common problem with this make and model. i commute in rush hour traffic 45 miles every day, and as i brake or accelerate in traffic the car jerks which is very disconcerting when traffic is bad and you can not anticipate everything other cars are doing. this is a very serious safety risk for maxima drivers and all those around them. | |||

| I purchased a nissan maxima sl 2005 on oct 2004, at this time the car has 66,500 miles and we are having transmition problems. some of these problems includes (once the car is hot): 1. it takes few seconds for thr transmition to click into gear from reverse into drive accompanied by a very hard jerk. 2. the transmition slips out during regular driving then jerking back into gear and this hard jerking is affection the trasmition mounts. we had a transmition oil change at 30,000 and 60,000 miles. we read plenty of online posting of 100's of customer with the same problems with the same nissan maxima 2005 so we contacted nissan consumer affair for help. they instructed us to go to the dealer for a diagnostics, at the dealer they told us that they won't diagnose the transmition until the trasmition oil is change and one of the transmition mounts is replace for about $700. my wife uses this car with the kids and i'm concern that they can have a problem that can cause an accident. | |||

| My car jerks between 1st and 2nd gear and when down shifting.it started shifting hard when i put it in reverse, feeling as if i hit something every time. i would have to push down on the break hard because it would jerk so hard. then my car started shifting hard between gears while driving. it was such a violent shift that if felt like someone had hit my car. it shifted so hard yesterday that my check engine light came on and it would not come out of first gear. i took the car immediately to my nissan dealership and was told i need a brand new transmission ($3000). i researched this problem online and found that there are hundreds of 2004,05,06 nissan maxima owners with the exact same issue that i am having. i have called nissan and no recalls! nissan refused to act like this was a problem. please help! i could understand if my car was the only one with this issue, but with hundreds of owners with the exact same issue, that is a manufacturers defect and nissan needs to stand behind their product! | |||

| I bought a 2005 nissan maxima sl in january 2010, so about 8 months ago. it drove beautifully, it was smooth and everything. i changed the oil, got a transmission flush, new tires, everything. a few days after i got it, i was involved in an accident. i was driving in the rain and preparing to make a left turn, and as i was doing that it stalled, then jerked and hydroplaned at the intersection and into the incoming lane of traffic into another car. i had to take it to the shop to repair it which took a few months. then, about 3 months ago, i noticed that the car started to get worse and would stall and then jerk when i would reverse the car from park. specifically when reversing out of a parking space. as the weeks went by, it got even worse. the car would violently jerk while switching from 1st to 2nd gear or when braking suddenly or when accelerating suddenly. sometimes while accelerating, the car will stall, the engine revs up, and then the car would violently jerk forward as if it was hit from behind. in one instance i pulled over on the side of the highway to make sure that i wasn't hit by a car, with the latter not being the case at all. it happens everytime i drive it now. i took it to a transmission specialist and he thought that it needed a new sensor, so he installed it, and told me that it didn't stop the jerking. then i got another transmission flush and it hasn't helped the situation. | |||

| For at least 7 month, i have been experiencing very rough transitions between 1st and 2nd gears and also when decelerating between 3rd and 2nd gears. this occurs daily after the car has been driven 5 minutes or so. additionally, at times (daily but not everytime i start the car) when i shift into gear, whether it is drive or reverse, the transmission takes as much as 20 seconds to engage. i have already replaced one motor mount and the transmission mount but still the engine jumps when accelerating or decelerating. ever so conveniently for nissan, all this started after my warranty had expired. with as many complaints as i see for this exact complaint, it seems that nissan would call a recall before there is a tragic accident. i do not want this defect to ruin the engine so why can't nissan take care of this?? the very reason i bought this car is because of the normal reliability and i must say that i will not buy another if nissan doesn't take care of this problem. | |||

| Nissan maxima transmission violently shifts from one gear range to another and is increasingly getting worst. the experience is like that of another vehicle hitting my vehicle in the rear.it's as if it might tear out from the vehicle at any time. thus far i have been able to maintain control which is hard to do because this burst of turbulence is extremely disconcerting so much so that i am afraid of driving it. some weeks past i took it to a transmission shop and was told that he wouldn't touch it because nissan knows that there is a problem. he talked about cam sensor and body valve ?????. the internet has page after page of others with similar conditions and have gone to the dealers and paid for repairs only to have the problem return. it can certainly cause accidents and loss of life, causing trauma time and time again as it happens. this is every time that the vehicle is driven not only the date that is given following the description the date is the date that i am filing the complaint. jerking shifting gears jerking accelerating and slowing / breaking jerking slowing to turn jerking when reversing jerking going forward jerking when slowing down when it jerks it actually lurches this is every time the vehicle is driven | |||

| My 2005 nissan maxima started having shifting problems when slowing. i would be coming to a stop sign and the transmission wouldnt jump out of gear and the car would free roll. once stopped the car would jerk and try to take off while foot on brake. now the transmission shifts very hard to the point to feels like im in an accident or the engine is coming through the hood. when i accelerate onto freeway from ramp im scared that i may get rear ended because the car just wont accelerate properly to get into lane safe. this occurs everyday particularly when car warms up and i then begin to smell electric burn or oil burn | |||

| While driving the car does a hard jerk when i am on a residential street. whether driving to 40mph or driving through a light, my 2005 maxima, does a hard jerk like its shifting gears. this is a serious problem in the car but i was even more upset about the jerking my son is receiving in the back seat, waking him up when he is sleep. i have gotten the car looked at by many mechanics and dealerships, they are saying the transmission is going bad. i believe the car is too new for major work to be happening like this. $2,000- $4,000 of work on a car that looks like new and is still only 5 years old is crazy. i looked online and am seeing many people with the same problems. hard jerking, slow to accelerate in slow areas, problem happening one day and may not be a problem the next. this is a very serious problem, i felt like an accident almost occured with my car doing the jerks on the street. please look into this for the families sake. | |||

| While driving the car does a hard jerk when i am on a residential street. whether driving to 40mph or driving through a light, my 2005 maxima, does a hard jerk like its shifting gears. this is a serious problem in the car but i was even more upset about the jerking my son is receiving in the back seat, waking him up when he is sleep. i have gotten the car looked at by many mechanics and dealerships, they are saying the transmission is going bad. i believe the car is too new for major work to be happening like this. $2,000- $4,000 of work on a car that looks like new and is still only 5 years old is crazy. i looked online and am seeing many people with the same problems. hard jerking, slow to accelerate in slow areas, problem happening one day and may not be a problem the next. this is a very serious problem, i felt like an accident almost occured with my car doing the jerks on the street. please look into this for the families sake. | |||

| Vehicle has difficulty shifting into gear. when accelerating the vehicle hesitates and then jerks into gear with alot of force. this problem creates a safety hazard as the vehicle does not accelerate as expected and may a lead to rear-end collsion. additionally it creates a safety hazard when merging into faster moving traffic (i.e. merging onto the highway). the problem has been identified as a faulty valve body that ultimately leads to the deterioration of the transmission and the issue has been reported by many nissan customers | |||

| 2005 nissan maima, 60k miles. i am now having automatic transmission problems that i have found are rather common for this car. i will be taking to a nissan dealer for inspection, but my concern is the fact that nissan is not identifying this as a habitual problem - which should warrant a recall. i have owned the car since showroom and have maintained the car according to nissan requirements. had to have the motor mounts replaced in 09 after i noticed unual noise coming from the car when i would accerlate from a stop. inspection discovered that the motor mounts needed to be replaced. i believe this may be a direct cause to my transmission issue now and according to several forum complaints many other individuals have had the same exact issue that i am experiencing now. once my inspection with nissan that will be done on 8/30/10 and their diagnosis i will update my complaint. | |||

| 2005 nissan maxima started having transmission problems at or near 73,000 miles. problems consist of the following: while shifting from drive to reverse and vice versa, the engine jumps/jerks; while driving the engine will hesitate to accelerate, revs and then jump. currently, the vehicle has over 80,000 miles. unfortunately we have not been able to get it assessed by a nissan dealership because we live in italy (military). we had the vehicle assessed locally and the prognosis was that the transmission is going bad. we move back to the states in a couple of months and the first order of business will be a stop at the nissan dealership. we anticipate the same runaround that everyone else has been getting. please note: we would like to be included in any and all class action lawsuits. we pay off our max next month! | |||

| I am the original owner for my 2005 nissan maxima, at approximately 80k mi my car began hesitating slightly. i took my car to the nissan dealer and was told that the problem was not detectible with a diagnostic machine, but the technician indicated that the problem was possibly a missing engine mount. i was also told that a transmission flush may also help the problem. the flush found no particles and did not stop the hesitation. my lease ended and i decided to keep the car. this hesitation has gotten progressively worst over time and culminated with almost lost of power while traveling from my home to the mall tonight. the car had very little power and made a low humming sound. i put my hazards on as other cars wizzed by. by the time i pulld into the restaurant and tryed to back into a parking space the car would not drive. i turned it off then on again that helped and i was able to reverse. going home the car would not accelerate and the rpm needle kept going up to 4-5 then hesistated before coming down. i am scheduled to work tomorrow and i must now see about having the car towed to the dealership for evaluation. i am at a lost i just dont know what to do. i seen many other complaints about the 2005 nissan but no recall. i can't afford to buy a new car as i still owe 12000 and i am afraid my daughter and i are not safe in this car. please help. | |||

| Transmission on 2005 nissan is not operating normally. this is an on-going problem and occurs when engine is warm. transmission has a hard clunk going from 2nd to 3rd gear on acceleration...and from 4th to 3rd...3rd to 2nd on deceleration. transmission recentl;y went into safe mode where it's always in 4th or 5th gear. check engine light is intermittant. car drives normally at highway speed, but on acceleration or deceleration the transmission could fail at any time, creating a dangerous driving situation. if you google nissan maxima transmission problems, thousands of postings on numerous blogs detail this exact problem. nissan has known about these transmission failures for years. the cars usually experience the transmission 'issue' between 45/50 thousand miles and 70/75 thousand. out of warranty. the maxima transmission is not a component that can be easily repaired as i have had a transmission expert take it apart. nissan puts a new (or rebuilt) transmission in. cost is 2k-4k (or more). is this a problem that has been reported before? | |||

| I have a 2005 nissan maxima. for the last 2 years i have been experiencing problems with my car hesitating and the rpm raises very high while driving. i have also been experiencing heavy engine vibrations while breaking when driving. i took nissan service and have a diagnostic done and they came back with a code for the transmission. they suggested that i have the transmission flushed, which i had done 6 months prior. nevertheless, i had it flushed again and the problem continued to escalate. i decided to look on the internet to see if i could possibly find a solution. i found that these problems were common with many 2004-2005 maxima owners and have been reported to nissan for many years, but they refused to recall these vehicles. in each case the problem began right after the warranty expired, which makes me think they were built like this purposely. i am now getting a shift malfunction code and was advised to replace the transmission. these are very expensive vehicles and it is just inexcusable for nissan to install faulty motor mounts and transmissions in them and not take responsibility for the repairs. | |||

| I have a 2005 nisssan maxima with some serious transmission issues. the first time i ever felt the trans shift rufly was at about 35k miles, i thought nothing of it at the time because it was sorandom and the car was new. throughout the next 30k miles or so it would happen so randomly that it would never cause any serious concern, it would be during a descent down a hill when it would downshift or at rpms higher than 2500 as it downshifts. at about 70k the trans started to show some slipping, only after it would warm up at about 20 to 30 miles of driving. this caused for some concern, my wife has driven this car and we have a two-year old daughter, so i know for certain that the car was not abused. i took the car to a local dealership and soon there after they called stating thatthe trans will need to be changed out and of course since the warranty so convenietly just ran out i would have to pay $3500. this is my first nissan so i did a lot of research on line trying to see if there is others out there with similar issues, and did i find out that there is... apperantly the 04 and the 05 maximas have a major trans issue that nissan is failing to addmit to. i am having a hard time to get them to acknowledge the issue and assist me with the cost associated with a new trans. i just think that nissan needs to address this asap. my car is still drivable so my wife will drive as long as possible, hopefully something will be done before the car completely brakes down. | |||

| I am having problems with the transmission in my car. when i drive and put the car in drive it jerks really hard. when i am accelerating it drags like it doesn't want to go and then jerks and starts back up to speed. nissan said it is a transmission problem. my car was only 4 years old when i first noticed the problem and nissan would not fix it. i see tons of complaints about this very issue and they have defective transmissions and don't want to admit, but i think someone needs to make them accountable.. $4800 is not pocket change, and most people don't have that kind of money. they should fix this for free. | |||

| I own a 2005 nissan maxima, i had to have a new transmission put in my car. when i first took the car in to the nissan dealership here in memphis, tn, i was told by the service agent after test driving the vehicle that i was not having a transmission problem but that i needed motor mounts among other repairs which turned out to be quite expensive...about 3 days after having these repairs done, i took the car back in with the same complaint as before and was then told i need a transmission (this was my complaint when i took the car in, i complained about the transmission) and this would cost me $3,000+ in addition to the $2,000+ i had already spent. everybody that i know who owns the '05 maxima has had to replace the transmission or is at the point of complaining and questioning transmission issues. the dealer nor corporate is owning up to any problems with the transmissions in this particular vehicle. we would appreciate any help that you all can give to get nissan corporation to own up to this known defect....thanks. | |||

| I have a 2005 maxima with the very same trans problems in the lower gears. hard shifting, slamming into gear, etc. fortunately, it is still drivable for now. i dont have the $3500 to fix it. this after just spending $1700 for a new catalytic converter 3 months ago. the car is a money pit. never again!!! told by dealership that i can still drive it until it wont go anymore. that doesnt seem like a very safe business practice for a dealership to tell its customers. | |||

| My 2005 nissan maxima's transmission started slipping in the september of 2009, i had maintenance done on the entire car done including the transmission which stopped the problem temporarily. by january of 2010 the problem came back and worst. the car would stop in the middle of traffic and it took about 5 seconds for the car to change shift. it would also jerk very violently when changing shifts, so hard that i was almost pushed out to the car in front of me, i finally had it on april 5th 2010 when out of nowhere the transmission gave out entirely. i was going up a hill and the automatic transmission let go so it started going backwards fast, i pressed forward on the gas only to get a hard rev and nothing else. i kept going until i hit the brakes hard inadvertently making me hit a tree denting my bumper. my car is now sitting in my driveway until i come up with the money to pay for a brand new transmission. i spoke to nissan and they suggested i take my car to a certified dealer for a diagnostics run which cost me 100 dollars. they offered me a new transmission for 4500 but i haggled down to 2500. i am in college and cannot afford spending that kind of money. i am still paying off this car and it is causing me distress. if i don't get any help i don't know what i will do. *tr | |||

| 2005 maxima se....76,000 miles...... i have had jerky transmission problems around 0-20 mph... i have read hundreds of the same complaints..... someone get nissan to do a recall please... i'm sure they can't come up with the money to repair all of maxima's transmissions for free, that is probably the only thing holding them up...... well, being 23 years old, working 110 hour weeks during the summer farming.... i found myself buying a nice 2005 nissan maxima thinking that it was going to be a dependable car, weeks later i find out it is nothing but junk and is too late to return back to nissan.... i'm sure you guys have delt with many of other 2004-2006 nissan maxima owner's complaints... but it's time to force nissan to stand behind their product and admit failure, and someone needs to put an end to this non-sense. i have 4 years of payments on this car, the least they could do is give me a properly working transmission...... also--- i have read many of a/c complaints, all which report of a/c hose needing to be replaced costing hundreds of dollars, my air conditioner just went out the other day..... good thing i have a sun roof and windows that work. this might as well also be thrown in the with the recall. thanks | |||

| I am filing a complain about my nissan maxima 05. i have been on different websites were i see a lot of people that owns the maxima 04-05 models have the same complain. and the complains are the timing chain and the transmission. i think nissan should stand by their work and do a recall for they can see what is the problem and fix the problem. some people are still paying for this expensive car and can't afford to paying for manufacture problems. the timing chain and the transmission was not properly installed. and the problem needs to be fixed. | |||

| I notified nissian headquarters that i have a problem with my transmission. the regional representives for nissian headquaters indicated to me that i need to take my 2005 nissan maxima to a nissan dealership to have it place on the dignostic machine which cost me 95.00. nissan dearlership results was a bad transmission. the regional representive gave me a file number(6763040). i indicate to the regional representive that my car jerks in 1st and 2nd gear. the rpm goes up with a hard thump sound. on 2-9-2010, i picked up my daughter from daycare and was turning in heavy traffic and a big truck almost hit my car because of the car hesitate to go into 2nd gear causing it to slow down while i turning into on going traffic. this is a safety issue and nissan headquaters knows it. the result from headquaters came back from the regional representive and she indicate no, we will not fix your car, i explain to her that i know my car has 90,000 miles but it is a nissan and these cars suppose to be well built. i ask her for a good will fix and she still indicate no we will not fix your car. the regional representiative quoted, that we will only fix cars on a case-by-case base. i told them that they need to fix all the cars because they know many people are having problems with that particalr year nissian maxima. regional rep said we will trade your car for a new and take 4% off and i told them i cannot afford a new car. nissan company know there is something wrong with the transmission but they are trying to get consumer to buy a new car to make profit of the consumer, instead of fixing the problem that they know occurs. i do not trust any more nissan cars so why are they forcing me to buy another. this is unconstitional! | |||

| 2005 nissan maxima transmission problem. transmission jerks when shifting in low gears or going from reverse to first gear. engine revs high and then the car slams into gear, this happens when driving at low speeds including on the highway. this problem causes the car to surge forward when it occurs. this problem started around 75k miles on the car. reports from several transmission shops indicate this is a recurring problem with the 04 and 05 maximas. i have logged a complaint with nissan consumer affairs with no resolutin at this point. | |||

| We bought a 2005 nissan maxima brand new. last year 2009 the transmission began to slip and the air conditioner went out. the dealership said the air would be $1400 so when the tranny was a problem i knew not to go to the dealership. the car would jerk and slam into gear. i had my 2 children in the car and it completely stopped in the middle of traffic. it had to be towed to a local transmission place and was told i would need a new transmission for $3000. the car has been babied and should not have any issues. it is garaged kept and all mainenance done. the car was less than 4 years old when all thes problems started. after seeing all the complaints i believe nissan should recall and refund this particular transmission. my mechanic cannot get any help from nissan and it still has issues. my children and i could have been killed the way the car lost all gears in the middle of traffic. i did not have enough time to pull over. there are more complaints about the 2005 nissan maxima transmission than toyata and look what they are doing. do people have to die for nissan to take responsibility? i want to be included in any and all class action lawsuits that pertain to this issue. i still own money on this lemon. | |||

| While driving my vehicle i noticed jerking and car was not shifting gears. i then thought to have the car serviced so i did. they advised getting a transmission motor mount,but that didn't work and it sure wasn't the problem. then i decided to have it check by two transmission specialist. they told me that this incident was very rare to happen to nissans with the amount of miles it has. the car has approx. 79,000 miles on it. who would have thought of buying a newer car if such a problem would occur so soon. i thought i was the only person suffering but i wasn't. so i went on had it looked at the 2nd time and they told me the car was slipping on the 2nd gear and falling out of 2nd and 3rd gear. it was said that they would have to rebuild the transmission and that hard parts weren't even covered under the estimate of a couple thousand dollars. so, i needed a second opinion and i went to another specialist and they said it was the same exact reason and the rings in the transmission could have gone bad. so where was supposed to start........i feel very much so that this a manufactures error and it needs to be corrected on that end. i've heard alot of good things about nissan but, there's a lot of doubt about the products they sell to consumers that could endanger someone or something. *tr | |||

| I leased a 2005 nissan maxima and fell in love with the car so much that i purchased the car when the lease was up. shortly thereafter, i began smelling burned oil. i also noticed the car began to jerk really hard going from park to drive and going from drive to reverse. i took it to the dealership and they informed me that the transmission was going bad and they were going to replace it. the car had approximately 44k miles on it at this point. the dealership replaced the transmission with a remanufactured one. the car was fined but seemed not to have the same power. anyhow, three months in to having the remanufactured transmission i noticed the car would not go into the driving gear. the car would only move in reverse. the car only has 46,524 miles on it. *tw | |||

| My 2005 nissan maxima has started showing signs of what may be serious transmission problems. as to the best course of action to correct these intermittent and random symptoms that include: 1. takes about 5 seconds to click into gear after the shift lever is put in d 2. very hard jerky shifts between 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 1st and accompanied by loud clunking noise. 3. transmission slips out of gear during regular driving allowing the engine to rev freely then jerking back into gear with a loud clunk. the is followed by a burnt oil / electrical type smell that gets inside the car and evident outside after stopping. sometimes i go for days with no symptoms at all and other times it may happen a dozen times in a day. i took it in to the dealer and none of the problems showed up for them but they noted that the engine mounts were broken but that would not cause these symptoms. they suggested a new transmission and motor mounts for $4,000. *tr | |||

| Vehicle was purchased with 69,000 miles and was in good condition, owned for eight months and driven lightly. transmission intermittently jerks when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear and also from 2nd to 1st. occasionally revs when up shifting then shifts with a bang and jerk. when problems occur, the manu-matic mode displays 's' instead of what gear you're in like it is supposed to, and will not shift gears manually in this mode. vehicle was taken to dealership where it was purchased and they eventually replaced the transmission with a rebuilt transmission. rebuilt transmission lasted less than six months before exhibiting the same problems. *tr | |||

| 2005 nissan maxima. 92,200 miles. started noticing issues around 85,000 miles, but became a serious issue around 90,000 miles. transmission hesitates 10+ seconds at stop signs or when switching between drive and reverse and then engages and car jerks into gear. shifts hard between 1st & 2nd gear. rpm's go way up before transmission catches and clunks into gear. slips in freeway traffic. have had transmission fluid flushed twice in past 4 months. nissan dealer ran $100 diagnostic and found nothing other than cracked motor mount because car does not act up consistently. dealer recommended replacing motor mount ($480) and probably transmission ($3800), since the motor mount would not explain jumping rpm's. 300+ identical complaints on just one internet blog mention that fixing motor mounts does not solve the problem, so i am hesitant to have that done. multiple blogs show the same complaints with identical symptoms. filed a car needs repair complaint with nissan consumer affairs, and have only spoken to someone once, during which call they said they would 'have to call me back' after listening to me describe my problem for only about 2 minutes. service engine soon light came on this morning, and car seems to be having difficulty shifting at all. scared to drive my car to the dealership to even see about repairs. nissan needs to do a recall before someone is killed. *tr | |||

| I am having transmission problems with my 2005 nissan maxima se. i took it to the dealer and they couldn't find anything wrong with it because it would mess up after it warmed up. it would jerk in down shifting and when i accelerated. first the guy said it might be my motor mounts. they advised me that i needed a transmission flush because we needed to start somewhere. i got that done and my problem continued. then he said that i needed my fuel induction done. he said that he put it on the machine and there where no error codes. then after i complained again he wanted to charge me to run a diagnostic after he already said he put it on the machine and didn't find anything wrong. also my service engine soon indicator light never came on. i have had 3 nissan maximas but nissan is not working with me. i bought my car in aug of 2008 and didn't purchase a warranty. i thought nissans were great cars but as stated in the forums lots of people are having this problem right after the warranty expires and nissan needs to look into this if they want to keep loyal customers like myself. *tr | |||

| I have a 2005 nissan maxima, and this car is having shifting problems, i only have 90k on my maxima and it jerks when coming to a stop and accelerating from 1st gear to 2nd gear which sometimes me and my passengers get whiplash by it. i replaced the transmission fluid and the car is still slipping into gear. some days the car works good, but most of the time the car has trouble with the shifting and is making me think less of nissan manufacturing. *tr | |||

| My nissan maxima '05 has about 37000 miles. recently, the transmission has gone bad. the car does not shift rapidly enough when i accelerate. also, it has sometimes slipped out of gear at low speeds, causing it to lurch forward in bumper-to-bumper traffic! this is a major safety hazard. *tr | |||

| I first purchased my 2005 nissan maxima last year and it had 70,000+ miles, it was used, after the first week i ended up taking it back to the dealer because it was jerking and switching. they informed me it was the motor mounts so they replaced then. when i got the car back the same problem was happening, so at my next oil change i informed them of the problem again, they said nothing was wrong, so i let it go. just recently the car has been jerking once i try to accelerate. the worst part is that i found an actual site with 30+ other 2005 maxima owners with the same problem who were given the same response. if that many cars are defective shouldn't the manufacturer fix the problem or submit a recall. *tr | |||

| The transmission on this car does not want to go into gear between 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd. then if it does it jerks really hard and sounds like its going to fall out. then there's times it slips. when you put the car into reverse you have to hold your foot on the brake really hard or the car will jump backwards. as soon as the car warms up it does this. i'm afraid to drive the car out of town in fear the transmission will completely stop. there are plenty of websites with people complaints of the same issue. its not an isolated thing. i have not been able to fix the problem because of financial reasons. the car is only four years old. i bought it used and haven't even had it a year yet. i called nissan and they said there was no known issue of this problem. i read that other people were told the same thing when they called. there's no way a transmission should have problems after only four years. *tr | |||

| For the past several months, i have been experiencing the same transmission problems that just about every other 2004-2005 nissan maxima owner has experienced. mine is a maxima se with 5 speed auto (with manual shift mode). once the car warms up, the transmission shifts very hard and rough from 1st to 2nd gear. it also downshifts hard from 3rd to 2nd gear. at this point, if i put the car in park or reverse, and then back into drive, there's about a 3-5 second delay, then it makes a banging noise as it kicks into gear. the transmission problems get worse: when shifting from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd gears it slips into neutral (causing rpm's to freely shoot up nearly to the redline) and then jerks and slams back into gear very rough & hard. this really affects the cars performance. the transmission problems go from worse to more worse: eventually somewhere between 3rd and 4th gear, i'll hear and feel the transmission make a banging sound and lock up...no up or down shifting. this causes the service engine soon light to light up. at this point, the car accelerates very slowly from a stop since it's locked in gear and at highway speeds, the rpm's are very high. when switching the transmission to manual mode, the gear indicator always stays at 5. i have to turn the car off for a few seconds and re-start the car to get the transmission to shift again, but unless it's had several hours to cool off, the same problems start again immediately in sequence. this is obviously a manufacturer's defect and how nissan is not being held responsible for this blows my mind and is completely unacceptable for a $30,000+ car that's under 5 years old!!! *tr | |||

| My 2005 nissan maxima currently has 84,000 miles (and is out of warranty). i purchased it in 2006 with 24,000 mi. it began bucking or jerking very hard when changing gears (while driving and when putting into drive) over 3 months ago. this problem occurs everyday i drive the vehicle, sometimes more that others. it would buck and jerk so hard that i did not feel like i was in control of the vehicle. recently the service engine light came on so i took it to be looked at. after replacing the front motor mount ($700) and driving it off the lot, 20 minutes later the service engine light came back on and the car was still bucking and jerking. i brought it to the dealer only for them to tell me 2 motor mounts need to be replaced as does the transmission for a total of almost $5,000. no work has been done on the car because i've reported this to the corporate offices of nissan and they have begun an investigation. there have been no crashes or injuries due to this problem...yet. however, the car is not safe to drive. after researching this problem online it has come to my attention that numerous 2004-2005 nissan maxima owners are all having the same exact issues with their vehicles. this is a defect in the vehicle and after reading how many others have the same issue i do not believe i or anyone else should be held responsible for paying for this repair/replacement of parts. i believe it needs to be recalled. *tr | |||

| Tl. contact owns a 2005 nissan maxima. current mileage was 65,000 and failure mileage was unknown. contact stated while driving at 40mph the vehicle will slow down with braking and becomes very stiff. then the vehicle will accelerate without warning. the dealer stated the vehicle needs a new transmission. contact feels this is a safety issue because as the vehicle slows down another vehicle can crash into the back of the vehicle or the contacts vehicle can crash into the back of another vehicle because it accelerates without warning. jo | |||

| This a complaint about the transmission of the 2005 nissan maxima. my maxima only has 60,000 miles on it, however it has began to jerk while changing gears, and to slip out of gear while it is on the road. this is very dangerous, particularly the slipping out of gear. i have not yet gotten into an accident or had my car stop on the road. however, i feel that it is only a matter of time. apparently this is a very widespread problem with the with the 2004 and 2005 nissan maximas. the problem first began to happen about every 3 days, but now it happens about every other day. especially when the car is going from 2nd to 3rd gear. i have had the transmission fluid checked, and was told that my fluid level was perfectly fine. the shop recommended that i take my car to a transmission specialist, which i have not yet done. they also mentioned to me that the transmissions on the 2004 and 2005 maximas are known to be defective, and usually go bad at about 60,000 or 70,000 miles. i believe that the transmissions on the 2004 and 2005 nissan maximas are defective and need to be recalled. *tr | |||

| I currently own a 2005 nissan maxima sl automatic transmission i bought it used at about 80,000km and its now at 103,000km. since i bought it i have been more then disappointed and now furious with nissan. from purchase date which was august 2008 until now april 2009 i have been experiencing the car jerking from gear 1 to 2 and 2 down to 1. it went from a slight jerk and slip of the gears to a jerk so hard that it broke the engine mounts. i brought it in and got the engine mounts fixed and also had them do a diagnostics. i went to 4 different dealerships and 2 mechanics and no one knew what was wrong. nissan kept telling me to get a transmission flush which i did twice and still did not solve the problem. i also got the timing belt replaced as well as got the vehicle checked out by a nissan transmission specialist. not to mention every diagnostic test is $100. this car is not safe for me and my family. the intense jerking during acceleration and breaking is not only unsafe for us, but for others on the road. the most recent incident happened coming off the highway late one night when i was slowing down on the off ramp and the jerk was so severe that it had given myself and my passenger whip lash and caused us to spin out. after all the maintenance, parts replaced and i?m still experiencing the same problem means that nissan is not doing their job to get this rectified. it?s costing me too much time and money. i have to take time off work every time to get these things done and the same problems are recurring and now i don?t know what else to do. i recently read some reviews and i noticed that this is a popular problem within 2004-2005 nissan maxima?s but yet there has been no recalls and nothing has been done to compensate the consumer. i need something done asap because as of right now i have no other choice but to drive this faulty vehicle, unsure if i will make it to work or home at night. *tr | |||

| Transmission failure with 2005 nissan maxima. at about 60,000 miles i noticed my transmission slipping from 1st and 2nd gears. then it got progressively worse and started jerking when coming to a stop. i took it to nissan dealer and they said that i needed a new transmission and that it would cost about $4000. after replacing the transmission the problem is gone and car is back to normal. i did research on the internet and found hundreds of cases with the exact same problem. how can i get my complaint heard and reconciled because this is truly a nissan defect and not just ordinary wear and tear on the car. i thought initially i just had bad luck. this was not the case. *tr | |||

| December 2007 - took car into nissan dealer because transmission was hesitating and slamming hard into the drive gear. dealer discovered transmission needed to be replaced. january 2008, i received my car back with a reman transmission from nissan. february through may 2008 - took car into dealer a few more times due to issue with transmission again. october 2008 - returned car again to nissan because issue with transmission was occurring more frequently. told me it was due to (2) torn engine mounts. i replaced them by my own local mechanic. a few days after they were replaced, the transmission was acting up again. took car back to my mechanic and he said the (2) rear engine mounts were cracked/torn. i ended up replacing those as well. one week later, the issue came back. october-november 2008 - took car back to the same nissan dealer 3 more times and even after showing the service manager and the head technician the problem they told me that it was normal and there was nothing wrong with the transmission. the problem with the transmission is still an issue and was never resolved. *tr | |||

| I purchased a nissan maxima sl at the start of november 2004. a harness inside the engine containing a sensor to detect engine knocks was damaged by a rodent. this caused the engine to misfire which caused the transmission to buck, stop shifting, change speed of the car on it's own,lose acceleration, not shift, shift suddenly and put the driver in a situation where if they did not compensate they could be injured or killed. the problem started when i bought the car and worsened over the next three thousand miles of driving. the dealer and manufacturer ignored the problem and said they could not duplicate it until i said i would pay for them to plug the engine into a diagnostic computer. at this point they found a misfire code, the problem was identified my the master mechanic and the dealer replaced the harness at my expense! the manufacture refused to take responsibility for a dangerous defect. this is a defect in their computer logic and/or design. a sensor malfunction should not cause an engine misfire and transmission to fail. note the date of november 3 2004 indicates that the problem started when i purchased the car and it continued until the harness was replaced. i have contacted the manufacturer many times and they are not returning my calls. the master mechanic said he has seen this problem many times before which tells me that this is perhaps a long standing problem that nissan chooses to ignore. | |||
