| I purchased my nissan maxima brand new in january 2006. i started feeling my car having problems getting in gear in 2011. now its getting worst. my check engine light is on, and i was told my the dealership that it is the transmission. i have seen now that nissan had transmission issues with the 2006 maximas and i believe that they should be recalled. i am in the navy and i need my car, for me and my family and i can't afford to purchase a new transmission, let alone a new car. *tr | |||

| Transmission hesitation when attempting to enter traffic or advance when moving slowly, like what occurs when a traffic light changes when you are approaching it. the engine will rev (rpm approx 4000-6000) then slam into gear and jerk forward. this causes the danger of being propelled into traffic at the wrong time or simply getting rear-ended. my vehicle also has the problem of hesitating when i place the gear shift lever into reverse. research has shown this is a common problem with this generation nissan maxima and they have failed to take ownership and correct it. | |||

| I'm concerned that the defective transmissions that nissan knowingly placed in the 2006 nissan maxima is and will continue to cause bodily harm and fatalities. my car started out jerking, slipping so bad it would cause whip lash. now it's at a point i have it parked because i'm scared that i, my family, or an innocent driver will be in an accident, or potentially killed. i recently called consumer affairs in reference to this matter and they wanted $5,100 to fix it. it's a shame that they knowingly are charging the consumers and harming the innocent. i'm a soldier!!! what if i half way protected this country? i pray someone will look into this matter. innocent lives are at stake.... *tr | |||

| Within the last month or so my vehicle has begun to display what appears to be a transmission problem. when i put it in reverse, then back into drive it hesitates and then jumps into gear. when i am accelerating (about 30-40 mph), my vehicle will hesitate or struggle to shift into the next gear. this happens most often at 30-40 mph but it has happen at faster and slower speeds and has happened with accelerating and decelerating. i have brought my vehicle to a repair shop who replaced the engine mounts at a cost of almost $1000 and that didn't fix the problem. now they are stating the problem is the valve body. i brought it for a second opinion to the nissan dealer and they state that i need a new transmission at a cost of $3500. i am about to bring it for a third opinion to a transmission shop. this is a safety concern in my opinion because the transmission could completely stall or give out while driving. i have researched this problem extensively online and have found hundreds of other stories of maxima owners with the same or similar problem. i don't understand why nissan hasn't been forced to recall these faulty transmissions. they obviously pose a danger to the public and they are obviously aware of the situation. i have found out about class action lawsuits against nissan and have found out that nissan has extended the warranty on the cvt transmissions (in the altima), but i don't have that type of transmission. i would like to request that the nhtsa look into this problem further and take a look at the sheer number of owners who are dealing with this problem or who have. i would like to request that you demand nissan to recall these vehicles and correct this problem. there is no reason that a transmission should need to be replaced in a vehicle after 70, 80 or 90 thousand miles. thank you! *tr | |||

| First after buying this nissan maxima 2006, i noticed that my head light lamps needed to be changed every 14 months. i never had a car where i had to replace the head light lamps so often. both of my other cars (toyota and honda) have over 100k miles and we never had to change the lamps on those cars. next, the abs brakes are not working properly, really? after 70k miles? wow! later i found out that this is a common problem with this car. the abs appear to be running while the car is moving and on dry roads. finally, the transmission. why do i have a slipping transmission on a car with only 64k miles. after research, i found out that the problems that i'm having with this nissan maxima, hundreds of other owns are having the same problems. i always had honda and toyota cars and i decided to try something new in this maxima. i will never buy nissan again, i'm running back to honda and toyota!!! *tr | |||

| ***faulty transmission*** my 2006 nissan maxima jerks, takes time to accelerate in traffic, and it barely wants to move once stopping for a red light. the gear spontaneously gets stuck in either 1st or 5th and i have to pull over and turn the car off and then back on so that i can get to my destination. this is so dangerous. my car has been properly maintained throughout the years and upon my research, i have found that others (have had/and are still having) the same problems that i am experiencing right now. this is not safe or fair to me as a consumer. a recall needs to be done asap. *tr | |||

| In october 2012 it initially started when i was shifting into drive and the car jerking forward. then about a month later at a stop light it jerked forward when i accelerated as the light turned green. the acceleration was sluggish (like going from 1st to 2nd gear in a standard) you could feel the change in gear. once the gear changed occurred and the speed was constant it seem to catch and go into drive as normal but this time the check engine light came on. the jerk forward was very noticeable and very scary. as a result i brought it to an auto mechanic, they ran diagnostics and a code came up of po750. this code relates to the solenoid pack which is in the valve body and a part of the transmission. the mechanic did a lot of research and finally went to the nissan dealer to find out how they solved the problem and their answer to him was to replace the transmission not the solenoid pack. the dealership was familiar with this defect because they had replaced quite a few transmissions as a result of this problem. i then went on to a website, aboutautomobile.com, and found numerous complaints related to this problem for the 2006 maxima. this is unacceptable and really should be looked at. the median mileage that this defect occurs is around 77k. this problem poses a dangerous situation when driving, a high cost repair (3500 dollars) to replace the transmission which is what the nissan dealerships recommend and not a good feeling about a car that's not really that old. please let me know what can be done about this issue or where i can go to get help. of course the extended warranty ended in march 2012. which makes it a lot harder to deal with.

| When driving my vehicle, i fill a jerking and shifting hard in 1st and 2nd gear like a mule is kicking me in the rear it goes on for days and when i slow down about to come to a stop it also kicks and jerks real bad and sometimes it just wont go at all. after i let the car sit for a min and shift from park to drive it hesitates for at least 7 to 10 secs and jumps real bad and goes into drive. i took it to my local nissan dealer and they couldn't find any thing wrong with the transmission;however, they said i need to get my transmission flush for $400. but they did charge me for the diagnostics test which cost $89. even though i paid to get my transmission flush at my mechanic shop a lot cheaper according to nissan, the problem is still going on. what should a person do. i have kept up all the maintenance on this vehicle, i am really scared that it my affect my motor mounts with this jerking. *tr | |||

| Purchased my 2006 nissan maxima in july of 2006 had 12,750 miles on the odometer i have keep this vehicle serviced on a regular basis for the past six years. on may 6, 2012 while pulling out of a parking spot i put the car in reverse and it didn't move a few seconds later there was a loud thump and it jerked into gear so hard i thought someone had reared ended me. from this moment on when i would put it in gear it hesitates and then after i've driven for a while it starts jerking and seems to lose power. i'm afraid that it is going to stop in the middle of traffic or cause me to have a accident. i was due for an oil change in july so i told the service writer that i was having this problem and that i was feeling something funny under my car, the mechanic test drove my car and i was advised that i needed a serpentine belt i paid 159.99 plus tax to have the serpentine belt replace along with my oil change. after i picked my car up and drove it for a while the jerking and hesitating presisted thats when a friend advised me that it was my transmission and i should have it checked. i contacted glenn nissan sevice department and asked if there was a recall on the 2006 transmissions and was told there was no recall i asked the service writer if i had to have a trasmission how much would it cost they have not returned my call as of today. that's when i went online to check and see if there was a problem and saw the same complaints from other nissan owners. i took my car to a transmission shop on 8/06/2012 and it was diagnosed that i would need a transmission and the cost be around of $4500.00 plus. my next step is to contact nissan maufacturer to see if they can resolve this issue with the 2006 transmissions before someone gets hurt and or killed. | |||

| I was driving my vehicle to work and i stopped at a red light. when the light turned green i pressed on the gas and the car rpm went up but my car did not moved. about 10 seconds later it jerk really hard into gear and moved. i got scared because cars were in front of me and i didn't know if my car was going to run right in the back of another vehicle. i bought the car from the waldorf, md nissan dealership. when i was purchasing this car my main concern was safety. i was pregnant and i had two other small children that i transport back and forth from school. now i don't even feel safe to have my children in my car. i was told that i needed to replace the throttle bottle in my car or better yet get another transmission due to nissan building these cars poorly. one i am a single working parent trying to provide for my family. and now i am stuck with a car that has known transmission issues. i know that nissan is aware of the situation and this is very unprofessional for them not to fix the problem. what if one of my children where hurt due to the car jerking or down shifting when it isn't suppose to. what if myself or someone else lost their life due to nissan not wanting to fix the issue that so many people have complained about. i pray that someone at nissan will own up to this and fix this issue before someone gets hurt. and if it takes myself and others to keep calling or to go to the dealership and complain or better yet call the local news and have them cover a story because no one would like to see a mother or her children get hurt by a poor built vehicle!!!! *tr | |||

| I am having a problem with my car jerking profusely when switching gears. it will do this as well when i come to a stop and then take off. there is something definately wrong with this make/model/year vehicle. i love my car but after seeing throughout the internet alot of people having the exact same problem, i do not believe my next purchase will be a nissan. the manufacturer should be recalling and fixing this issue. maybe families that have lost loved ones while driving this vehicle should investigate the cause of accident a little further. | |||

| My car was bought at a nissan dealership in 2011 of december, in january i noticed the car jerking and shifting while driving 20 to 30 miles.so i took the car back at the dealership and they said that they will only give me another car only if the problem is in the transmission, they told me that the problem is my motor mount is broken, and they don't cover anything outside the transmission or engine only the inside.. the total amount to fix was 500 but i had no money to do it.they gave me an option of taking an extended warranty which it was expensive for me so i shopped for a warranty and i got a full bumper to bumper for a cheaper price than what they gave me.it took me 3months to go back to the dealer with a new warranty they fixed the motor mount but the issue is still their.a nissan technician took it for a test drive they suggested that i need a new transmission and there's no way i'm willing to give them my car again to fix because it took them along time to realize the problem telling me to fix your car we need to get it out of idle and emission needs to be checked that's what they were saying before they realize its a transmission..i love nissan maxima but in order to keep a customer like me to stay loyal please fix the issue and do the right thing by recalling the vehicles. | |||

| This is a transmission issue, but 'transmission' wasn't listed as a choice so i chose 'power train'. i was accelerating on an interstate onramp, preparing to enter the interstate highway. while accelerating, i noticed the car ahead of me was not accelerating at the same rate so i let off the gas to slow down. the car ahead then sped up, so i attempted to assume accelerating to enter the highway. at that point the engine quickly revved up as though i were in neutral. that lasted for a brief moment, then suddenly the transmission slammed into gear with such force that the front tires lost traction and the car lurched hard to the left. my reaction was to adjust quickly to the right, to prevent cutting across busy lanes. i left the roadway to the right, fortunately no collision with anything except a curb. skidded to a stop there in the grassy area right of the highway. | |||

| This vehicle is very unsafe. the transmission will jerk the car at any given time, which increases the chances of an accident. this is the only issue i am having with this car. this may be only one issue however it is a very expensive one. the certified nissan dealership said that it would cost around four thousand dollars for this to be corrected including parts and labor. there needs to be an recall on this vehicle right away. | |||

| I bought the car after it was inspected by a nissan dealersip at 60,000 miles. the inspection showed it to be in excellent condition. after purchasing the vehicle, 8,000 miles later the transmission fails while i'm driving. after that i left and took the car to the mechanic when he informed me that many maxima's from 2004-2006 had the same issues. i did research and found out the majority of the maxima's had transmission malfunctions as early as 35,000 miles. i contacted the nissan dealership and told them exactly what the problem was and even gave them the codes for the malfunction given to me by a certified mechanic. they stated no matter what happens i must get a diagnosis ran from a nissan dealership. after i did the diagnosis they told me they couldn't help me because the car was out of warranty, as if i didn't know that. i told them i should receive financial assistance being that they are selling a product that does not function properly, i told them about my past, very old, nissans which ran without any issues even one reaching 200,000 miles before i decided to upgrade to a newer model, and they basically kept saying they couldn't help me. they need to take responsibility for they're actions and do a recall because it is obvious that the maximas transmission does not function properly. i also had to pay out of pocket for the diagnosis, pay to tow the car various times due to them demanding me take it to they're dealer, and i had to pay a storage fee from they're dealer. i went with nissan because i thought they were trustworthy,i would not recommend them at all. i am very dissappointed in nissan dealership buy a camry or a accord, you'll be much better off without nissan stealing from the poor. i've had about 5 nissan's and my fiance was making payments on a nissan, i am turning it in and getting a camry. will update and add the vin# soon | |||

| My 2006 nissan maxima, has 74000 miles and has started showing signs of what may be serious transmission problems. 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. there should be a recall on this type of problem, nissan knows about this problem on 04-06 models. here are some reviews in this link :http://x.nissanhelp.com/forums/maxima/9183-05-maxima-transmission-shifting-problems.html also: http://www.aboutautomobile.com/complaint/2006/nissan/maxima/automatic+transmission . | |||

| The transmission slips, jumps out of gear between gears. often it will go to shift then it revs up not in gear instead of shifting then after a few seconds it slams hard into gear. this is not a daily constant issue it is random and sometimes will go weeks between having the issue pop up. when it pops up it will happen during that entire drive. the next time it is driven even that same day even just 15 minutes later it will not have shifting issues sometimes it does. there are many many many customers complaining about this issue with nissan transmissions. | |||

| From a stopped position, slowly accelerating forward or reverse, the engine speed increases without any vehicle movement when the transmission suddenly shifts or engages with a violent jolt. suddenly propelling the vehicle in a forward or reverse direction. unless immediately braking occurs the vehicle may collide with another vehicle or end up going through the rear wall of the garage. this problem has happened on numerous occasions and is now becoming much worse. a search on the internet for 2006 maxima transmission shows this to be a common problem. while it is not known if any serious accident or injury has occurred it does appear to be a safety issue. | |||

| I was looking at purchasing a nissan maxima. i found one that is an 2006, test drove it and everything checked out to be a perfect car. no accidents and i received and clean car fax on the car. i purchased this vehicle with 78k miles and the day i purchased it and drove it off the lot, i started experiencing jerking with the shifting of the gears. when i test drove this vehicle twice on different days i never experienced any jerking with the car. as the day went on, i started to experience more frequent and harder shifts, then it started to slam really hard into gears or rev the engine up to 4rpm then slam into gears like someone had hit me. so, i immediately took the car back the same day i purchased it only a few hours later, come to find out the transmission went out. it has been a week today that i have been without my new car that i purchased and still won't get it back until the end of the week, because the dealership i purchased the car from was trying to figure out what to do. finally, came to conclusion to replace the transmission for me.i am a very unhappy customer and will not purchase a nissan ever again because, this problem is not being addressed properly. i am really upset about after i find out about having to replace the transmission that i find several reviews on the 04-06 model nissan maximas experience this same exact problem around 60k miles and convenietly right after their warranties expire. since this is a major issue with these models apparently, there should be a recall. | |||

| The transmission is slipping badly in my car between 10 and 25 mph. it is a safety hazard if i am on a budy roadway because the car will stall and not move at all for several seconds sometimes. i am afraid it is going to cause me to get rearended. the problem does not happen all of the time and i really cannot pinpoint when it will happen. i have also noticed some very bad jerking when i am shifting from reverse to drive. again not all of the time and no way to figure out why it happend sometimes and not others. i have seen hundreds on complaints on the internet about the same problems in maximas between 20074 and 2006. i absolutely cannot afford to have the transmission replaced. | |||

| While driving on the highway in chicago traffic last thursday my 2006 maxima began jerking and when i lightly pressed on the gas the rpm's would sky rocket, scaring me and my daughter who was a passenger. it was a very unsafe situation as it was difficult to control the speed of the car. i managed to drive at a lower constant speed to get us to our destination. i dropped the car off at my mechanic that night. he says that i need a new transmission which will cost $3,300. i have maintained my maxima according to the dealer guidelines since my husband and i purchased the car, including a recent 100k tune a few weeks ago. my mechanic says there is a technical service bulletin out on this problem but nissan is not taking any financial responsibility. it is a widespread problem with the automatic transmissions of the newer maximas. there must be an apparent engineering defect as nissan requests that the old transmission be sent to them and the replacement transmission they will send my mechanic was previously some else's transmission in which the the problem has been corrected. only a limited 12 month/12k miles warranty is offered on the replacement transmission. we can not drive this unsafe car. without the repairs, the car is of little value. i am very disappointed that nissan is taking no financial responsibility for this unsafe, lemon of a car. this is our 3rd nissan and we had previously been happy customers. | |||

| My vehicle began to shift violently (car would jerk roughly) from 1st to 2nd, and subsequent gear shifts (2-3, 3-4, etc.) would shift very slowly (the car's rpm's would race as the transmission delayed shifting into the next gear, then jump very hard into gear). also, when slowing to a stop, the car would remain in a higher gear without downshifting, then once stopped for a few seconds the car would violently downshift, which would cause the car to lurch forward. shifting from park or neutral to drive or reverse would take 5-10 seconds to engage, and would cause the car to again jerk and lurch violently. the final issue occurred on saturday, october 22, when the car was in drive, but no longer engaged the gear while stopped at a stoplight in busy traffic. i shut the car off and let it sit for a minute and started it again. when i did this, i was able to get first gear to engage enough to roll to a parking lot. once in the lot, the gear stopped working and no gear would engage again. i had to have the car towed to the dealership, in which they advised that the transmission would need to be replaced at my expense ($3300-3500 was the estimate) as my warrantee had expired 3 months ago. this is unacceptable, and judging by the thousands of complaints that i am seeing on the internet with the exact same issues, i am disgusted that nissan is not recalling for this issue, nor extending the warrantee coverage for a clearly defective transmission, as they did for the cvt that they offer in the newer model year maximas. these issues all occurred within a one month period. the transmission fluid was checked and found to be at the correct level and color/consistency. | |||

| After taking my maxima to the dealer because of the transmission free wheeling and shifting erratically they said they were not aware of issues. they flushed the trans fluid and suggested i get a new trans if the problems continued. i went and researched the issue on the internet only to find out that there are many complaints about the cvt maxima transmissions. i have again taken the car back to the dealer and now they tell me the trans valve body may fix the issue but not 100% sure at a cost of $1800. they also told me that several other items were in need of replacement which i had checked at a local garage and they found none of the so called worn out parts but that is another story. i feel this is a design flaw like many other nissan owners. they need to make good of the problem. | |||

| I have had to replace the brakes in my car over three times within a two year span. brakes continue to scrub and squeal. dealer says that they have done all they can do as they have changed multiple parts, costing me an arm and a leg. you are a afraid to make a hard emergency stop because due to the sound, you aren't sure if they could go out in time. transmission: care literally jerks into gear when backing up or taking off. you can't park too close to another vehicle or stop because car litterally leaps into gear possible causing you to hit another car in front of you.

| After taking my maxima to the dealer because of the transmission free wheeling and shifting erratically they said they were not aware of issues. they flushed the trans fluid and suggested i get a new trans if the problems continued. i went and researched the issue on the internet only to find out that there are many complaints about the cvt maxima transmissions. i have again taken the car back to the dealer and now they tell me the trans valve body may fix the issue but not 100% sure at a cost of $1800. they also told me that several other items were in need of replacement which i had checked at a local garage and they found none of the so called worn out parts but that is another story. i feel this is a design flaw like many other nissan owners. they need to make good of the problem. | |||

| I have had to replace the brakes in my car over three times within a two year span. brakes continue to scrub and squeal. dealer says that they have done all they can do as they have changed multiple parts, costing me an arm and a leg. you are a afraid to make a hard emergency stop because due to the sound, you aren't sure if they could go out in time. transmission: care literally jerks into gear when backing up or taking off. you can't park too close to another vehicle or stop because car litterally leaps into gear possible causing you to hit another car in front of you. (feels like someone has rear ended you) | |||

| My 06 maxima sl is jerking on the upshift from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd, sometimes even on the downshift. the jerking is so unpredictable and very dangerous. it's been going on for a few weeks now. i had my co workers in my car at my lunch break and the car was coming to a stop slowing down from 15 mph and the car jumped forward after downshifting from 2nd to 1st gear. my car jumped into the intersection and was almost hit by a ford 150 truck. luckily the truck swerved out of the way and it scared everyone in the car. i took it to the nissan dealership and they said they did not know what the problem was after running a diagnostics. they recommended me changing my transmission fuel. i changed my transmission fuel and the problem is still happening. this problem should be a recall. after reading online of all the thousands of people who are having the same problem i feel it's only a matter of time before i end up in a terrible accident due to the jerking of the transmission hurting my self or other people. | |||

| Transmission failed and needed to be replaced at 85,000 miles. car was very jerky at low speeds both when accelerating and decelerating and often wouldn't accelerate from a stopped position (dangerous when anticipating time to make left turns across traffic). i often thought i would be rear ended (due to the car not accelerating) or would rear end someone because of the jumping of the car. | |||

| Automatic transmission seems to struggle from take off to shifting from 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear. when brake pedal is released the vehicle makes a violent forward thrusting motion accompanied by loud crashing noise similar to that of being hit in a rear end crash. when driving the vehicle at speeds of 50 mph and above the gears can be heard shifting around as if the car is in neutral. the rpm gauge goes up to 3 and beyond and the engine can be heard revving up. when this happens i release my foot from the gas pedal and let the car shift back down until the noises stop. the nissan service team diagnosed the car as needing a transmission flush and fuel injection cleaning. these services were performed but the problems still remain. | |||

| I have a 2006, nissan maxima se. i've been having severe problems with my transmission. the car jerks violently when its changes gears between 1st and 2nd, as well as between 2nd and 3rd gear. after doing research on this problem online, i've seen countless number of people who complain about the same problem. i re-built the transmission at my expense of $3,200 and it wasn't over yet, then currently my check engine light is on and my car wont start, i would have to turn the key on and off 4-6 times every time i need to drive for it to start. my speedometer stopped working, therefore i can't see how fast or slow i'm driving nor is the mileage calculation are working it has been stuck at 86,745. so many people have experienced this problem from 2004 to 2008. i don't see how this could go on. while driving on the highway the electrical fails and the lights on the dashboard dim to where i am not able to control the vehicle and unable to use my signals for safety concerns, especially while traveling at night time. the vehicle shakes and is unstable at times. this is my only transportation to and from work and i need a solution to this problem. the sad part is that i have taken it to the dealer four times now and every time i pay these high fees for diagnostics and they can not give me a solution to my problem. | |||

| I would like to add my info to the case you have open concerning the nissan maxima line of cars and the transmission. i have less than 80,000 miles on my 2006 maxima and have been experiencing transmission problems. it started with not being able to get into gear after a cold start early in the mornings, that would last about 2 minutes. after pulling out of the driveway and rolling down the hill the car would act fine. i was told a transmission flush would correct the problem from a nissan tech over the phone. now it is more serious, when placing it in gear it makes a loud | |||

| There is a factory problem with the 04-06 nissan maxima automatic transmissions. mine is a 06, it jerks whenever it goes from 3rd to 2nd, also from drive to reverse. it happens once the car warms up. usually after the 50k milles, some after 85k milles. the problem is in the valve body, it has been redesigned by nissan 3 times already, and they say there are no problems with the transmission. once the valve body is not working as it should, it produces internal damage also inside the transmission, then it will brake motor (en gine) and transmission monts, it is a serious problem. also to go from second to third the engine will go need to go athigh revolutions, it may kill the engine. and an engine dead in middle of traffic is a recepit for a serious accident. i hope you can address this and make nisssan fix their problems. it is unbeliable that in a car that costs 30k+ new has a serious design flaw. | |||

| I purchased a 2006 nissan maxima in 2009 the vehicle with approx. 67,000 as fine for the first 2 months. here is where my problems started to occur, when turning towards the highway i accelerated to speed the car hesitated and was putting then the check engine light went on. once i returned from out of state i contacted the dealership empire nissan in lakewood, colorado and let them know what the situation was, the salesmen stated to disconnect the wire to the battery to reset the light, i did that and it went right back on after a couple of starts. i took the vehicle to a local mechanic where he said it was the oxygen sensor? it was replaced, then the vehicle was fine for awhile until the odometer read approx. 75,000 i noticed that if i was going down a hill at a fast pace then pushed the brakes to slow down the rpm's reved up to 5 and the engine would make a loud noise to accompany the rpm's at 5. vehicle has been worse ever since i noticed that, it then started to slip in gear, going from r to d or d to r once shifter is in place it would pause then jerk into gear. took the vehicle to aamco they stated that it was the motor mounts and also the fluids to the transmission. $700 later the vehicle is worse! now the car while in motion will kick and jerk hard in gear while the rpm's go all the way up to 5. when car comes to a stop with foot on the break car will jump forward. my latest incident is when at a stop and move to accelerate the car starts off as if it was in 5th gear! got the car home and put the shifter in manual transmission and it reads the engine is in 5th gear. i am a single mother of 4 young children, the car is so unpredictable, whether it is going to jerk into gear or completely stall out. there has to be something done with the transmission before someone gets killed driving this same type of car, there are several pages of complaints on the same issue with the same car, please please do a recall on the transmission of the 2006 nisssan maxima!!!!!! | |||

| I have a 2006 nissan maxima se that i bought new in jan 2007. several months ago i replaced the oem tires because i was old they were worn out and were the cause of steering wheel vibration above 60mph. i replaced the tires and front brakes/rotors at my nissan dealership and the vibration was reduced but still noticeable. it gets worse with cold tempratures. they have inspected the struts and engine mounts and say there is nothing wrong with my car but the vibration is still there. | |||

| I have a 2006 maxima w/ 104k miles that is having the same jerking issues. in aug 2011, the car lurched and jumped so bad in traffic while slowing down. it also happens whenever i am pulling from a stop light or reversing. this issue continued and sometime i have to stop the car because i thought i was going to get into an accident. since this appears after the car is driven for about 15 minutes, i will let the car sit for a while before i drive it again. it will drive fine for a few miles and start lurching again. i took the car to our local nissan dealer and i was told that i will need to pay them $105 for an inspection. i went on to tell them the issue and the service person acted as if he does not know what i was talking about. he was sarcastic in our conversation and he told me that i may have to buy a new transmission. | |||

| Beginning at 38k miles the transmission has stopped engaging properly when accelelerating between 1st & 2nd gear of the automatic transmission. this occurs between 20 and 35mph and causes the vehicle to slam into gear with a force that negatively impacts the driver's ability to control the car causing an unsafe driving event. the event is as powerful as being hit from the rear while driving. the dealer charged $200 to flush the trans but this had no effect. i have made several attempts to engage the dealer but have had no response. i have investigated this problem and found it is wide spread with this models' 2005 & 2006 year vehicles but is denied by the manufacturer as a warranty coverage problem. please forward this complaint to nissan usa and request a reply. | |||

| The automatic transmission in my nissan maxima 2006 jerks when it changes from 1st to 2nd and 3rd. this also happens when i shift from park to reverse. sometimes during acceleration, there is a 2 to 5 second delay before the car reacts which is extremely dangerous when merging into traffic. these problems usually happen after the car has warmed up and have become increasingly worse. | |||

| We have been having transmission problems with my 2006 nissan maxima. it started a few months ago. it starts to jerk gradually. it really doesn't start doing it until the vehicle is hot and has been running for a while. we took it to get diagnosed but it did not read as the transmission at first. as the problem progressed, we took it again and was told that it was the transmission and that it was going to cost a whole bunch of money that we do not have. i started to do research on my issue. just to find out that i was not the only one with this issue but many more like me. food for thought, i have in-laws with older nissans that are still running with over 200 thousand miles on them. they never had had to replace any mechanical parts because of how good they were made then. what does that tell us about the newer models. they were not made to last and we the consumers are to pay for it. not them. these defective nissans that were made and purchased in mid 2000's may have not been in accidents/caused accidents/injuries but we want to avoid that. we need nissan to do something about this issue because these problems we are having will and might cause an accident. all we are asking for is to have our vehicles taken care of. | |||

(code #p0780) indicated that there were several things that would cause this problem. the first is gear section - shift malfunction and the second being wiring tr sensor, shift solenoids and last but not lease transmission mechanical fault. the manufacturer was contacted but have not yet responsed. | |||

| My 2006 nissan maxima (3.5sl automatic trans) which we purchased new in 2006, experienced a complete transmission failure today while my wife was driving in rush hour traffic in the city of baton rouge. the car now has 86000mi, but the shifting/slipping began at about 77000mi. we had a fluid service done recently hoping this would cure the problem, but it did not. this was done at 84000mi. the mechanical failure while driving came within inches of her being broadsided by a one ton commercial delivery truck on the driver side. the accident was narrowly avoided thanks to the truck drivers alertness, swift reaction. please, this problem has been ongoing for far too long, to far too many maxima owners, this problem needs to be corrected before someone gets killed. i was almost a widowed father today. | |||

| I have a 2006, nissan maxima se. i've been having severe problems with my transmission. the car jerks violently when its changes gears between 1st and 2nd, as well as between 2nd and 3rd gear. after doing research on this problem online, i've seen countless number of people who complain about the same problem. i called nissan and all they said was if there is ever a recall, then keep your receipt and you will be reimbursed. that's not good enough. so many people have experienced this problem from 2004 to 2008. i dont see how this could go on. a reputable company, such as nissan, putting out a product that they know is defective. its not fair to the consumer. to pay over $36,000 for a vehicle and to have a problem like this is wrong. what has to happen? do people need to die first before this problem is addressed? like the issue that toyota had in regards to their accelerators getting stuck. does someone have to bring this to the attention of a national media program, like dateline or 20/20 and bring to light how bad nissan is treating its customers and how the nhtsa isn't doing anything to help the public with this issue? i'm hoping that this letter will get through to someone who really cares and will take action to help the consumer get some justice. the president made an emphasis on companies putting out quality vehicles and helped bail out some of the auto makers. hopefully someone will help this consumer with this problem. | |||

| I have a 2006, nissan maxima se. i've been having severe problems with my transmission. the car jerks violently when its changes gears between 1st and 2nd, as well as between 2nd and 3rd gear. after doing research on this problem online, i've seen countless number of people who complain about the same problem. i called nissan and all they said was if there is ever a recall, then keep your receipt and you will be reimbursed. that's not good enough. so many people have experienced this problem from 2004 to 2008. i dont see how this could go on. a reputable company, such as nissan, putting out a product that they know is defective. its not fair to the consumer. to pay over $36,000 for a vehicle and to have a problem like this is wrong. what has to happen? do people need to die first before this problem is addressed? like the issue that toyota had in regards to their accelerators getting stuck. does someone have to bring this to the attention of a national media program, like dateline or 20/20 and bring to light how bad nissan is treating its customers and how the nhtsa isn't doing anything to help the public with this issue? i'm hoping that this letter will get through to someone who really cares and will take action to help the consumer get some justice. the president made an emphasis on companies putting out quality vehicles and helped bail out some of the auto makers. hopefully someone will help this consumer with this problem. | |||

| Tl-the contact owns a 2006 nissan maxima. the contact stated that when placing his vehicle from 1st to 2nd gear he noticed that there would be a hard jerk. the vehicle would also accelerate, but it would seem to be driving slower than it actually should be doing. the vehicel was inspected by a dealer and they advised him that he needed to have the transmission flushed. after having the transmission flushed, a few days later the same failures started to reoccur. the manufacturer was contacted and they offered no assistance. the failure mileage was approximately 70,000. the vin was unavailable. tb | |||

| I purchased my 2006 nissan maxima sl on 4/12/11 and two days later started having transmission problems at 113000 miles. according to a local transmission repair shop and aamco, i will need a newly designed transmission valve body (approx $1500), new, or rebuilt transmission ($3000-$4000). car jerks into 1st gear at low speed. when looking online i saw numerous other complaints exactly like mine, indicating a problem with the vehicle transmission valve body. there appears to be an obvious systematic defect by nissan. this problem could easily occur if attempting to pass another vehicle or pulling into traffic on a freeway. this problem also qualifies as a serious safety issue as lives could be lost. nissan should recall the 2004-2006 year model maximas to ensure noone loses their life. | |||

| I was proceeding in my car on a major street always traveled by eighteen wheeler trucks when my transmission failed in my car. 2006 nissan maxima. the eighteen wheeler driver slammed on the brakes missing me my inches seeing i never touched my brakes, hence no brake lights.. actually i was revving the engine praying the gears would catch to possibly get me out of this situation. i could have died!!!! i was praying the whole time and i will continue to sent it to the shop to get repaired. someone will die with this type of problem. i came very close today. if someone has to die for nissan to admit this is a serious problem i hope the families get properly compensated cause i am letting the world know about this problem. i took the drivers information and another witness and had the car towed one block from the incident. | |||

| Transmission. i just purchased a 2006 maxima. it will shift very hard from first to second. it is jerking, thrusting forward and there is a major delay when you switch from drive to reverse. it is knocking when shifting from park to drive. it does this when the transmission warms up a bit. when downshifting to 2-1, it smacked real hard at a light. i was in the car with my family. this is not good. it would appear that nissan tried to develop a tranmission that could think for you. it is currently back at the dealership awaiting testing. please recall those transmissions now before these units get too old. | |||

| I purchased a 2006 nissan maxima in november 2005 brand new from the dealer w/ 3 year warranty / 5 year powertrain. i've done all services, maintanace, etc. my powertrain warranty (engine/trans) just expired 2 months ago. my car is doing 54,508 miles. once it hit the 54,500 mark the transmission started to fail. it would jerk extremely bad w/ a 5 second delay from n - d, n - r, r - d, & d - r (all of those combinations). while driving it downshifts hard in slows the car (could be fatal). it's very difficult to control the car w/ this transmission issue. i'm checked with the dealer and they are absolutely reluctant to fix the issue since i'm out of warranty. i checked online to see if there are any recalls / similar issues. i've seen countless of people state the same issue when approaching 60k on the car. nissan needs to see this is a huge safety hazard. i almost had the transmission jam/stick while at an intersection. i could of seriously been injured while making a left turn on a green light w/ oncoming traffic, having my faulty transmission wait a 5 seconds and jolt like a car just hit me. i'm not sure who can help but this needs to be addressed and i feel this is solely their responsibility. | |||

| Purchased a 06 maxima in aug 2009, in october of 2010 the car started jerking when driving it. at first it would have happen every now and then and then it would jerk and mist every other day. check engine light came on and the car was taken to a nissan dealer and was told the catalytic converter was bad and that it was still under warranty, had car fixed and after driving the car for 3 days it started jerking, the nissan service dept was contacted and stated that none of the sensors displayed a problem and advised me to change the grade of gas from premium to mid-grade. i did what they recommended and the car continued to jerk and mist. the jerking would cause the car to slow down the rpm would quickly flip to 4 or 5 all this would happen while driving the car at a speed of 20-30 mph. i am very disappointed with nissan because i believed that nissan cars were very good and reliable vehicles. | |||

| I purchased my 06 maxima when it had 52,000 miles. after a few weeks i noticed the shifting is not proper and sudden jerking when shifting in r or d. eventually the jerking got worst and currently at nearly 72,000 miles it has gotten very scary. at times i feel like someone has rear ended the car. last week, while making an exit from a highway the car suddenly accelerated and got out of control. i noticed that the transmission had slipped while i was going at around 50 mph. since then i noticed the transmission is slipping constantly. i have been contacting dealers and they claim this is not a problem they know about regarding this model year. but as it seems, there are hundreds or perhaps thousands of posts all over the internet from people with the same exact problem in the same exact model maxima. i will not allow my wife to drive the car anymore since i noticed last week that the slip could be very dangerous at high speeds. i sure hope a fatal accident would not be the cause to wake up nissan to help resolve the issue. | |||

| I purchased a 2006 nissan maxima in 2009 the vehicle with approx. 67,000 as fine for the first 2 months. here is where my problems started to occur, when turning towards the highway i accelerated to speed the car hesitated and was putting then the check engine light went on. once i returned from out of state i contacted the dealership empire nissan in lakewood, colorado and let them know what the situation was, the salesmen stated to disconnect the wire to the battery to reset the light, i did that and it went right back on after a couple of starts. i took the vehicle to a local mechanic where he said it was the oxygen sensor? it was replaced, then the vehicle was fine for awhile until the odometer read approx. 75,000 i noticed that if i was going down a hill at a fast pace then pushed the brakes to slow down the rpm's reved up to 5 and the engine would make a loud noise to accompany the rpm's at 5. vehicle has been worse ever since i noticed that, it then started to slip in gear, going from r to d or d to r once shifter is in place it would pause then jerk into gear. took the vehicle to aamco they stated that it was the motor mounts and also the fluids to the transmission. $700 later the vehicle is worse! now the car while in motion will kick and jerk hard in gear while the rpm's go all the way up to 5. when car comes to a stop with foot on the break car will jump forward. my latest incident is when at a stop and move to accelerate the car starts off as if it was in 5th gear! got the car home and put the shifter in manual transmission and it reads the engine is in 5th gear. i am a single mother of 4 young children, the car is so unpredictable, whether it is going to jerk into gear or completely stall out. there has to be something done with the transmission before someone gets killed driving this same type of car, there are several pages of complaints on the same issue with the same car, please please do a recall on the transmission of the 2006 nisssan maxima!!!!!! | |||

| I recently purchased a 2006 nissan maxima and have been experincing some problems with it. after about a 2 months of purchasing it, it starting jerking while driving it. i didn't think anything of it since it stopped for a while. then some weeks later it did it again causing me to almost rearend someone. hear it is months later and i was heading home from work and the car just quit on me in the middle of a busy highway. it was cold outside and extremely dangerous. so now i have to get this car towed to the transmission shop to see what's going on with it. i have been reading thousands of complaints of very similar situations. many people are having problems with the transmissions in early model nissan maximas. i have been hearing that these people are paying thousands of dollars trying to repair these cars. i am very scared to hear what the dealer and other shops are going to say. this car has 89,000 miles on it with no warranty. | |||

| I purchased a 2006 nissan maxima in 2009 the vehicle with approx. 67,000 as fine for the first 2 months. here is where my problems started to occur, when turning towards the highway i accelerated to speed the car hesitated and was putting then the check engine light went on. once i returned from out of state i contacted the dealership empire nissan in lakewood, colorado and let them know what the situation was, the salesmen stated to disconnect the wire to the battery to reset the light, i did that and it went right back on after a couple of starts. i took the vehicle to a local mechanic where he said it was the oxygen sensor? it was replaced, then the vehicle was fine for awhile until the odometer read approx. 75,000 i noticed that if i was going down a hill at a fast pace then pushed the brakes to slow down the rpm's reved up to 5 and the engine would make a loud noise to accompany the rpm's at 5. vehicle has been worse ever since i noticed that, it then started to slip in gear, going from r to d or d to r once shifter is in place it would pause then jerk into gear. took the vehicle to aamco they stated that it was the motor mounts and also the fluids to the transmission. $700 later the vehicle is worse! now the car while in motion will kick and jerk hard in gear while the rpm's go all the way up to 5. when car comes to a stop with foot on the break car will jump forward. my latest incident is when at a stop and move to accelerate the car starts off as if it was in 5th gear! got the car home and put the shifter in manual transmission and it reads the engine is in 5th gear. i am a single mother of 4 young children, the car is so unpredictable, whether it is going to jerk into gear or completely stall out. there has to be something done with the transmission before someone gets killed driving this same type of car, there are several pages of complaints on the same issue with the same car, please please do a recall on the transmission of the 2006 nisssan maxima!!!!!! | |||

| I bought my 2006 nissan maxima se in 2007 with about 8k miles on it. the regularly maintained car now has a little under 81k miles and is having transmission problems. it started with the car jerking and a loud noise when shifting from drive to reverse and reverse to drive. now the car is jerking when accelerating. the car stalls then surges forward. i took my car to my local mechanic because i can not afford to pay the $100 fee the dealership charges just to look at the vehicle. i was told the transmission is deteriorating. i started looking for information about it and came across an abundance of testimonies from people with the exact experience as me all within the same mileage and it seems nissan is not doing anything about it. i guess someone will need to die before this issue is taken seriously. i am so done with nissan, is there anything legally that can be done for nissan to hear our voices for a recall to happen. its to many people with the same complaints for this issue not to be addressed. | |||

| I have just purchased a 2006 maxima that has a terrible problem somewhere in the transmission. when i'm driving i can feel the car slip out of gear and cause it to violently jerk like a rear end collision except there is not one. i don't have any lights on to detect a poblem but i have seen online that others have had the same issue. i do not want to be the next one dead on the interstate because of a faulty transmission. this problem needs to be addressed because the transmission does not function properly. i bought this car because i thought nissan made quality cars and cared about their buyers but now i.ve seen that so far nothing has been done about this. without a light detecting this problem a lot of service people are unable to find the cause. i care about my family and now will have no other way to work because of this issue. | |||

| My 2006 nissan maxima has been experiencing a slip in the transmission. the other day i tried to cross a street and it slipped alomost causing a crash with a semi truck that could not have stopped in time. it finally caught but was a close call. nissan has done nothing to admit or address the issues with the transmission and i have read many similar stories online. what can be done to hold nissan responsible. there needs to be some type of press coverage. does someone have to die before anything is done. | |||

| 2006 nissan maxima with 79,000 miles starting to have major problems with the transmission. when accelerating, around 20-35 mpg, the engine revs high rpm and acceleration slows, and then suddenly jerks into the next gear, sometimes slightly lurching forward when this happens. when decelerating something similar happens, the car will rev high rpms and then bang or jerk into the next gear. it seems to be much worse when accelerating and appears that it is happening when changing from 2nd to 3rd gear. i have read many complaints online in official sites and user forum sites. this seems to be a widespread problem that is not being addressed by nissan. in three days i am taking it to the dealer where i will have to pay $96 to have a diagnosis performed. nissan should either recall vehicles with this transmission, or extend the power train warranty to cover repairs when more people start having this problem. when pulling out into traffic and losing acceleration, this could be an accident waiting to happen. | |||

| I own a 2006 nissan maxima. i brought my car to the dealership because the car started shifting hard when going from first to second gear and 2nd to 3rd. it also has significant jerking when downshifting or trying to go to the next gear. the transmission slips as the engine rpm's rev as well. the car is bucking when i pull out onto a road and the gear feels like it's not catching so i'm afraid with that hesitation that someone will hit me from behind. a few times i felt like i had gotten whiplash it was jerking so badly. also, driving in reverse or even braking (slowing down) the car jerks and sounds and feels as though i'm being hit from behind. the car is jerking when accelerating. the car stalls then surges forward. | |||

| Own a 2006 nissa maxima. serviced monthly and now beginning to have major, dangerous transmission problems. hard, jerking transmission shifts while accelerating or slowing down. took it in for repair and auto transmission shop could not get any reads on problem through diagnostics. i have been told nissan dealership will replace transmision for est. $3500. this is a widespread problem with maximas as i have seen many, many on-line complaints. it is a defect and should be recalled immediately. i will pursue to get this fixed by nissan at no cost as it is a dangerous situation. the jerking does actually make people in the car have severe, quick unexpected body jerks. please investigate. thank you. | |||

| A couple of weeks ago, i started to notice that my 2006 maxima (75,000 miles) was shifting hard (jerking with a slight delay prior) in low gears, especially 1st to 2nd. the problem also occurred when putting the car into drive from reverse. it occurred approximately 75% of the time, but i couldn't find a definite pattern (car was cold or warm.) i took it to a mechanic who recommended the transmission be replaced and it is currently in the shop getting a new transmission. the mechanic told me that it's a faulty case bushing in the center support and even with a new transmission using the same faulty part, the problem will arise again. i contacted a local nissan dealership and spoke to the service manager. he stated nissan did extend a transmission warranty on some cars to 120,000, but mine was not part of that recall. if it's a product defect, no current remedy will permanently fix the problem. | |||

| A couple of weeks ago, i started to notice that my 2006 maxima (75,000 miles) was shifting hard (jerking with a slight delay prior) in low gears, especially 1st to 2nd. the problem also occurred when putting the car into drive from reverse. it occurred approximately 75% of the time, but i couldn't find a definite pattern (car was cold or warm.) i took it to a mechanic who recommended the transmission be replaced and it is currently in the shop getting a new transmission. the mechanic told me that it's a faulty case bushing in the center support and even with a new transmission using the same faulty part, the problem will arise again. i contacted a local nissan dealership and spoke to the service manager. he stated nissan did extend a transmission warranty on some cars to 120,000, but mine was not part of that recall. if it's a product defect, no current remedy will permanently fix the problem. | |||

| 1.on may 17, 2010 , i was involved in a car accident in my 2006 nissan maxima where someone had rear ended me very hard. after getting the car back from the body shop.i noticed that when shifing gears the car stalls and jerks violently. also whne driving the transmission starts to slip , meaning i am pressing the gas pedal but the car isn't going anywhere , then it kicks back in place causing the car to jerk extremly ruff. 2. this problem so vaden nissan say that the transmission is going bad and the extended warranty that i have on the vehicle , basically the won't do anything until a service light or code shows up, which is absolutely crazy. it occurs every time i drive it. it seem to when when the car warms up it begins to happen. 3. i have taken it to vaden nissan four times within a 3 month period. first they topped of the transmission fluid, second time the replaced the motor mounts, third time they replaced the starter and the fourth time, the service advisor told me i had to keep driving it until a service light came on . 3. | |||

| I purchased my 2006 maxima in november 2007 and i had no problems in the beginning. then while trying to put the car in drive it started hesitating. this lasted for a few moves, then i noticed the car jerking. at first i thought it was something i did, but it continued to do from time to time. i went and got my transmission flusked thinking that would solve the problem. the problem has gotten worst, not i have slow doen in traffic if a car in front of me is turning and when i accerlerate again it will do a heavy jerk. i have two other friends who have had the same problems. i took my car to the nissan dealership and was told it was the transmission and it needed to be replaced. i told the dealer how is this so this is a nissan. he explained that they all go bad like that. i told him that i also have a 1994 nissan altima with 300,00 miles on it and i have never had a problem with the transmission. this is a manfactures problems and the way the car jerks it may one day cause a serious accident. this is no way hundreds of people can have the same problems and it not become a manudacturers problem. | |||

| 2006 nissan maxima with transmission problems. 1 to 2 gear and 2 to 3 gear shifts abruptly, slips, jerks, on both upshifts and downshifts. transmission bangs from 1st to 2nd and the car hesitates off the line. off the line, the car revs freely before it's able to catch a gear you get a whiplash sensation between shifts. coming to a stop at a signal the 3rd to 2nd and 2nd to 1st gear downshifts are extremely harsh accompanied by a loud bang. when shifting from r to d, there is a few seconds delay before the transmission goes into gear with a loud bang. this all happens when the car is warmed up with at least 15-20min. driving time. | |||

| Purchased 2006 maxima from alabama nissan dealership in 2008. well maintained. current oil changes , tire rotations and changes, always used premium fuel.ran great. until!!!!!!! in 2010 noticed i could feel gears shifting. took it to mechanic and he advised me that there should be a recall on this particular year due to transmission failure and that is extremely dangerous. now 8/2010 it shifts hard from 1st to second and back from second to first. this makes acceleration and deceleration extremely unsafe. surprised to see so many complaints similar to mine and nissan not fixing it. car only has 75,000 miles and it is unsafe to drive.. i am a single mom and always have children in my vehicle. i am contacting an attorney and taking the car to the dealership where i bought it and if no recourse i pray no one gets hurt.. including me cause i can see what happened with toyota and i really would hate for it to happen with nissan. | |||

| We owe a 2006 automatic nissan maxima with now approximately 112,000 miles. we have been experiencing problems with what appears to be the transmission. the car will jerk really hard when trying to shift between 2 and 3; when you attempt to accelerate and when you come to a stop. we have taken the car a nissan dealership and had other diagnostic test performed. however, we were told that the entire motor needs to be replaced and their are no issues with the transmission. however, we took the car to another company who found no problems with the engine. this car has been serviced as required: the transmission has been flushed and filters replaced; spark plugs replaced, fuel injection flushed, and oil filters and oil changed. after going on the website and seeing numerous complaints regarding this issue with other nissan maximas, i'm filing this complaint because their appears to be a problem with nissan maxima's transmissions. this is a very costly expense and one that i believe nissan needs to be accountable for because it seems to be a common problem with the 2006 maxima transmissions. | |||

| I purchased my 06 nissan maxima earlier this year. now i am faced with a problem with the transmission at only 90k miles. i looked online and found that an unbelievable number of consumers have had the same problem. this problem creates dangerous situations as the vehicle may slip out of gear in places where it can cause an accident. also when the engine revs due to gear slippage it can cause acceleration which could also cause an accident. there are nearly 100 complaints on just one blog i found, all relating to the 04-06 nissan maxima. http://www.consumeraffairs.com/automotive/nissan_maxima.html i think nissan needs to take action and get their problem fixed for their customers. | |||

| 2006 nissan maxima se power- 96,000 miles, train/ transmission is slipping in and out of gear between second, third, and fourth gears. it currently gets stuck in 5th gear on the freeway. on the city roadways i currently press on the gas pedal, the car will not move and all of a sudden slip into gear, causing a jerking sensation and sometimes making the car move into the other lane. when bringing the car to a stop, the car doesn't move out of gear and at the stop light the car will down shift; causing the car to move foward a couple of feet. many other maximas between 2004-2006 have been experiencing the same promblems. their really needs to be a recall on the maxima between 2004-2006 models before someone gets hurt. | |||

| I own a 2006 nissan maxima with 58,000 mi. i have been encountering trans. problems since 55/56,000 mi. i have had trans fluid flushed with no success. the trans clanks occasionally while changing gears and emits a slight screeching noise around 3000.00 rpm's that sounds like metal to metal contact. if this was any other component i might be able to let it go, but the trans. usually gets progressively worse at a rapid rate once you begin noticing symptoms. dealer recommends new tranny. i have reviewed this issue online and there are multiple owners encountering this same issue. you would think that with so many owner having similar issues since 2004, that some type of a solution would have been proposed to loyal nissan owners that have to foot the numerous bills for the dealers ridiculous guessing game quick fixes. nissan owners are being taken advantage of and this has got to be addressed and compensated in some way. *tr | |||

| My 2006 maxima has had a shifting problem since i purchased it with about 40,000 km. the shifts from 1st to 2nd and from 2nd to 1st are very harsh and erratic. the problem occurs mostly in stop and go or very low speed traffic (20 - 30 km/hr) high speed shifts are no problem. took the vehicle to three different dealerships and no one could properly diagnose or repair the problem. finally found an independent mechanic who suggested that the shift solenoids were not working properly, between the two of us we convinced a dealer to change out the transmission and torque converter for new components. however, while the problem got better, it did not disappear and is now getting just as bad as with the original transmission. repeat visits to the dealer for further diagnosis did not result in anything wrong being found and they were unable to resolve the issue. ultimately i was told that it was just the way the transmission operates and there is no fix. i really like the vehicle but this transmission issue makes me hesitant to buy another nissan .... even though they have changed their transmission design. *tr | |||

| Have an 06 maxima se the car- jerking on the upshift from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd, sometimes even on the downshift. the car was problem-free for the 1st couple of months but the last 3-4 weeks have 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. took the car to my friend - a mechanic. he said there's nothing wrong with the transmission, but it seems my engine mount is broken and that might be causing the thump engine mount was replaced and same problem. *tr | |||

| I purchased a 2006 nissan maxima in 2009 the vehicle with approx. 67,000 as fine for the first 2 months. here is where my problems started to occur, when turning towards the highway i accelerated to speed the car hesitated and was putting then the check engine light went on. once i returned from out of state i contacted the dealership empire nissan in lakewood, colorado and let them know what the situation was, the salesmen stated to disconnect the wire to the battery to reset the light, i did that and it went right back on after a couple of starts. i took the vehicle to a local mechanic where he said it was the oxygen sensor? it was replaced, then the vehicle was fine for awhile until the odometer read approx. 75,000 i noticed that if i was going down a hill at a fast pace then pushed the brakes to slow down the rpm's reved up to 5 and the engine would make a loud noise to accompany the rpm's at 5. vehicle has been worse ever since i noticed that, it then started to slip in gear, going from r to d or d to r once shifter is in place it would pause then jerk into gear. took the vehicle to aamco they stated that it was the motor mounts and also the fluids to the transmission. $700 later the vehicle is worse! now the car while in motion will kick and jerk hard in gear while the rpm's go all the way up to 5. when car comes to a stop with foot on the break car will jump forward. my latest incident is when at a stop and move to accelerate the car starts off as if it was in 5th gear! got the car home and put the shifter in manual transmission and it reads the engine is in 5th gear. i am a single mother of 4 young children, the car is so unpredictable, whether it is going to jerk into gear or completely stall out. there has to be something done with the transmission before someone gets killed driving this same type of car, there are several pages of complaints on the same issue with the same car, please please do a recall on the transmission of the 2006 nisssan maxima!!!!!! | |||
