Faults:

A few years ago I had trouble with the transmission, and it was replaced at the dealer's cost because I had the extended warranty at the time.

Once the transmission was replaced, the car ran OK for a while, and then started giving me problems again, but by now the warranty was expired and Nissan was not responsible.

My vehicle is still jerking and making a noise. I still have a car payment and it is illustrating that it is not even 10 years old and it sounds and drives like a bucket.

I have filed a complaint with Nissan, as well as the NHTSA, to see if they can help. Everyone that is involved in this situation needs help. Hopefully we can get this vehicle recalled.

The car is jerking and making a strange noise.

Timing chain broke. Happened all of a sudden, no warning. With 46864 miles I have taken good care of this car. Taken to the dealership for service on time, and this happened to such a low mileage car.

This untimely break down cost me $1718.42. This is horrible.

Lately my problem is like every other owner, ABS brakes making lots of noise. Warning lights just recently started coming on, I sure hope they come good for it with a recall. This car looks great and drives awesome, but with these new problems you might hear me start yelling...

Overall it's been a great car until the brake issue started.

Faults:

My valve body in the transmission had to be replaced.

General Comments:

Save your money or choose another manufacturer; if not, face the consequences of headaches and stress... the only thing good about this car is looking forward to trading it in.

I got the car with 32,000 miles on it. It is a 2004 Nissan Maxima S.E. I have been having trouble with shifting into reverse and drive. Then when you drive, the car starts to lose power a bit, and then jerk into another gear. It does that on and off, sometimes. I had it checked out, and the mechanic did a diagnosis on the car and found nothing. Checked out the computer and scanned for a code and nothing appeared. It still does the jerking and the automatic shifting on its own. Now, the transmission is gone and now I am getting a new transmission from Japan for my car. A grand total of $3,700 for the work!!!

The Nissan Maxima is a great car.. don't get me wrong. In the long run, I just feel that you should take care of your customers that buy your products!!!

Great car and very comfortable for long rides. Quick and fast for a sedan.

The transmission has starting slipping around 65,000 miles when the car has warmed up around the 20-30 mph range. The tach jumps up about 2000 rpm.

Nissan has known about this very dangerous problem and refuses to acknowledge that it exists. They knew about it from documentation discovered from 2004!
