| Purchased 2002 nissan maxima with under 30k miles 11/09. at 35k miles had transmission serviced. now the transmission is completely shot at 38k miles. nissan is refusing to admit a defect or a fault when there are over 100k complaints online to various websites and their customer service is pathetic and offensive. the vehicle has lost 3rd and 4th gear and is losing 2nd slowly but sureley. the transmission needs to be replaced yet nissan is denying the claim because of the year it is. a quick search of google tells me that 2002-2006 nissan maximas have horrible transmission issues. this should be escalated to a recall due to the dangers of having the transmission drop out or having it catch fire which will happen if i continue to drive my car the way it is. i cannot afford a $2500 transmission with the economy the way it is. something needs to be done to make this right. | |||

| 2002 nissam maxima - engine power failed two times on the highway at 37,000 miles and again at 39,000 - never fixed until recall. the engine was recalled and the car fixed at 58,000 miles. the same issue happened again week of january 31, 2005 again now the car has 87,000. bacause nissan found no issue (no error code etc.) the car went unfixed this week. the car is behaving just like it did when the car lost power on the highway twice before the recall. i asked them to replace the same senor they did for the prior recall and they said no because they had no error code when i had the car serviced on febraury 4, 2005. i have not been hurt in this car yet but the car has lost power now three times only when i have been on the highway and i am concerned for my safety and i can't even let my wife use the car for fear it will loose power when she is driving it.*ak | |||
