2004 Nissan Maxima Complaint Log

I BOUGHT A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA AND I HAVE BEEN HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS EVER SINCE I BOUGHT IT. THE CAR JERK VIGOROUSLY OUT OF GEARS AND I AM AFRAID THAT ONE DAY, I MAY GET IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS DEFECT. I AM ONE OF MANY SUFFERING FROM THE SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEM! SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE. WHEN I CALLED NISSAN, THEY DO NOT WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH ME. *TR

'04 MAXIMA, MAINTAINED REGULARLY, ORIGINAL OWNER, PURCHASED IN SUMMER OF '03(FIRST BATCH OF ASSY. LINE); TRANSMISSION SLIPS FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE THE FIRST 25K MILES ON THE CAR. I GOT THE TRANS FLUID FLUSHED AND WAS FINE BUT THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN AT 50K MILES. I ASKED THE LOCAL REPAIR SHOPS AND THE DEALERSHIP WHY THIS KEEPS RE-OCCURRING AND THEY BOTH SAID THAT "THAT'S JUST THE WAY THAT CAR IS." LIKE CLOCK WORK IT HAPPENS EVERY 25K MILES. I CONTINUE TO GET THE TRANS FLUID FLUSHED/CHANGED EVERY 25K, CAR IS NOW AT 115K MILES, JUST HAD IT DONE AT 100K AND PROBLEM IS STARTING AGAIN ALREADY. I'M FEARING ONE DAY SOON THE TRANSMISSION IS JUST GOING TO GO ALL TOGETHER AND I WILL BE LOOKING AT PROBABLY $4K - $6K FOR REPAIR. I LOVE MY MAXIMA AND BOUGHT IT FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE THAT THEY HAVE A REPUTATION FOR LONG LASTING CARS, BUT IT SEEMS THERE WERE SOME FLAWS WHEN THEY INTRODUCED THIS NEW BODY STYLE YEAR (NOT SURE HOW DIFFERENT THE ENGINES OR TRANSMISSIONS ARE IN COMPARISON TO THE PREVIOUS MODELS) AND THESE TYPES OF ISSUES ARE NOT MAKING ME WANT TO PURCHASE ANOTHER ONE IN THE FUTURE. THE SERVICE ADVISOR AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP STATES HIS MOTHER OWNS AN '06 MAXIMA (SAME TRANS) AND JUST HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION DUE TO THE SAME ISSUE. HE TOLD ME, "IT'S COMING. IT'S IF IT'S WHEN". THIS ISSUE IS POSTED ALL OVER THIS SITE AND MANY OTHERS. WHY ISN'T NISSAN STEPPING UP TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS? *TR

2004 NISSAN MAXIMA TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND CAUSED ME TO SLAM INTO WALL. AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY, HAD MY CHILDREN IN BACKSEAT WITH SEATBELTS ON. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS. I CAN'T BELIEVE THE NHTSA ISN'T FORCING A RECALL ON ALL TRANSMISSIONS. I LOOKED IT UP AND THOUSANDS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I'M DEFINITELY GOING TO LOOK INTO A SUIT AGAINST NISSAN AND AS WELL AS THE NHTSA IF NOTHING IS DONE. THAT'S A GUARANTEE AND I'M SURE I HAVE MANY SUPPORTERS. *TR

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA. IT HAS CURRENTLY A LITTLE OVER 93K ON THE ODOMETER. LIKE HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE I HAVE ENCOUNTERED VIA INTERNET SEARCHES AND BLOGS, HAVE THE SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE SHIFTS HARD AND JERKS WHEN COMING TO A STOPPED AND HESITATES TO PROCEED WHEN PUT INTO DRIVE (UP TO 5 SECONDS). I WAS ADVISED EVENTUALLY THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REBUILT OR REPLACED. I AM INTERESTED IN BEING PART OF ANY CLASS ACTION MOVEMENT TO FORCE NISSAN TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE DEFECT AND MAKE GOOD BY REPAIRING THE CARS AFFECTED AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER OR REIMBURSING THOSE WHO INDEPENDENTLY RESOLVE THE ISSUE. AN UNEXPECTED AUTO REPAIR OVER $3000 DUE TO MANUFACTURER DEFECT WOULD BE DEVASTATING TO A SINGLE FATHER ON LIMITED BUDGET. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP THE CONSUMER. *TR

2004 MAXIMA TRANSMISSION AUTOMATIC WITH / MANUAL PROBLEM AND POSSIBLE LINK TO A SENSOR? TRANSMISSION JERKS WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND WITH HIGH RPM'S WITH A DELAY THEN SLAMMING INTO GEAR. DANGEROUS WHEN HAPPENING IN TRAFFIC, CAR DOES NOT SHIFT FAST ENOUGH TO GET THE PROPER SPEED TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC COMING FROM BEHIND. ALSO NOTICING THAT WHEN BRAKING FROM A HIGH SPEED GOING DOWN HILLS IT SEEMS TO BRING ON THE PROBLEM TOO. HAVE BEEN TO REPAIR SHOPS, AGAIN NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IT CAN BE WITH OUT SPENDING A ZILLION DOLLARS ON ALL THAT THEY THINK IT COULD BE. WAITING FOR A OTHER TRANSMISSION WHICH I FEEL THAT IT IS A WASTE BECAUSE IF THEY CAN'T FIND OUT WHAT THIS PROBLEM IS ON THIS TRANSMISSION THEN IT IS ONLY GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN ON THE NEXT .WE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR A WHILE NOW ,BUT BECAUSE OF THE COST OF ANOTHER TRANSMISSION AND THE COST OF LABOR WE HAVE BEEN USING THE CAR AS CAREFULLY AS WE CAN. AFTER READING OF ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET HOPEFULLY SOMETHING WILL BE DONE. WE ARE PAST THE WARRANTY LIKE EVERYONE ELSE THAT HAS FILED A COMPLAINT . THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF FROM NISSAN A LONG TIME AGO. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE PROCEEDING TO A COMPLETE STOP FROM 30 MPH,THE TRANSMISSION HESITATED THEN DOWN-SHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR . THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE OPERATION. HE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION EXHIBITED HESITATION WHEN SHIFTING FROM "REVERSE" INTO THE "DRIVE" GEAR . THE FAILURES OCCURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE FAILURE WAS CONTRIBUTED TO DEFECTIVE PRESSURE POINTS WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION. THE TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED FOR THE MALFUNCTION. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 94,000. THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I OWN A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA. HERE RECENTLY MY TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SLIPPING, I BEGAN TO LOOK ONLINE FOR RECALLS AND FOUND THAT SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I THINK NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THIS PROBLEM, BECAUSE MY CAR ONLY HAS 85,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND WAS TOLD THEY WASN'T FOR SURE BUT THOUGHT IT WAS THE VALVE BODY THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED,AND IT WAS GOING TO COST 2,000-3,000 DOLLARS, I WAS ASTONISHED THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN. I THOUGHT NISSAN WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A WELL MADE CAR THAT IS WHY WE BOUGHT IT. ALSO THE MECHANIC I TOOK MY CAR TO SAID HE DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSE IT WAS NOT SHOWING ANYTHING ON THE MACHINE, SO HE CALLED NISSAN AND THEY TOLD HIM WHAT IT WAS AND THEY HAD SEVERAL OF THAT PART THAT WAS NEEDED TO FIX THE CAR IN STOCK, SO THEY OBVIOUSLY KNOW AT NISSAN THAT THEY WOULD BE NEEDING SEVERAL OF THOSE PARTS TO HAVE SO MANY READILY AVAILABLE AND I THINK NISSAN SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES FOR THAT AND NOT RECALLING THE PART. OBVIOUSLY NISSAN WOULD NOT BE MAKING A PART THAT COST SO MUCH MONEY AND NOT BE ABLE TO SELL THEM SO SHAME ON THEM. *TR

I BOUGHT MY NISSAN MAXIMA 04 ALMOST A MONTH AGO. I SPENT ALL OF MY MONEY THAT I SAVED UP TO PURCHASE THIS CAR (I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT--I HAVE NO MONEY). I AM NOW EXPERIENCING A JERKING MOTION WHEN CAR SHIFTS FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. I WENT ONLINE TO SEE IF I AM THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM AND I AM NOT. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL GET WORSE AND I WILL BE STUCK WITH A PIECE OF CRAP THAT DOES NOT GET ME ANYWHERE. I AM HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED AND SCARED BECAUSE FROM THE BLOG THAT I JUST READ I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. ANOTHER PROBLEM I AM EXPERIENCING IS A JERKING WHEN I PULL THE CAR INTO DRIVE. I ONLY HAVE 99,000 MILES ON THE CAR. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY NISSAN BECAUSE I AM SURE THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS DEFECT IN THIS CAR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT INTERMITTENTLY THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SHIFT FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNINGS. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

2004 NISSAN MAX CONSTANTLY SLIPS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND SOMETIMES WHEN BACKING UP. USUALLY OCCURS AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR ABOUT 40 MINUTES. HAD TRANSMISSION FLUID CLEANED TWICE, BEEN ON THE MACHINE TWICE, AND READING OTHERS COMPLAINTS FOR THE ONES THAT HAVE REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION THE PROBLEM IS STILL OCCURRING. *TR

2004 NISSAN MAXIMA SE. 71K MILES ON CAR. THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT SHIFTING. THE CAR IS STUCK IN 5TH GEAR AND YOU CAN'T EVEN MANUALLY SHIFT IT OUT OF 5TH. THERE HAD BEEN SOME JERKING WHEN THE CAR WAS SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR FOR A WHILE BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION FAILS TO PROVIDE SUFFICIENT ACCELERATION TO ALLOW ONE TO GET OUT OF HARM'S WAY OR TO SAFELY MANEUVER IN TRAFFIC. ALSO, THE TRANSMISSION FAILS TO DOWNSHIFT TO ASSIST IN THE DECELERATION OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

'04 MAXIMA, MAINTAINED REGULARLY, ORIGINAL OWNER, PURCHASED IN SUMMER OF '03(FIRST BATCH OF ASSY. LINE); NOISE COMING FROM RIGHT SIDE OF ENGINE. NOISE WAS LOUD WHEN ENGINE WAS COLD AND WOULD GO AWAY AFTER ENGINE HAD WARMED UP. EVENTUALLY STARTED TO STILL HEAR THE NOISE (NOT AS LOUD) AFTER ENGINE WAS WARM. LOCAL REPAIR SHOP SAID THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE TIMING CHAIN AND MOST LIKELY THE GUIDE HAD BROKEN AND WAS RUBBING THE CHAIN AND STATED BOTH WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS SHOP HAD NEVER DONE ONE OF THESE REPAIRS ON A NISSAN BECAUSE "THIS NEVER HAPPENS TO A NISSAN MOTOR". YET THEY FOUND MANY TSBS AND INTERNET SEARCH RESULTS ABOUT MY PARTICULAR MODEL CAR HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. THEY SUGGESTED I HAVE THE DEALERSHIP TAKE A LOOK. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER AND WITHOUT TELLING THEM WHAT THE LOCAL REPAIR SHOP SAID, ONLY SUMMARIZING THE EXPLANATION OF THE NOISE WHEN ENGINE WAS COLD AND THEN GOES AWAY AFTER WARM UP, THE SERVICE ADVISOR INTERRUPTED ME AND SAID, "IT'S THE TIMING CHAIN GUIDE". HE BARELY LET ME FINISH THE STORY BEFORE HE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS. HE SAID THAT WAS BECAUSE HE (HIS SERVICE CENTER) HAS DONE THIS REPAIR ON 04 MAXIMA'S SO MANY TIMES IT'S RIDICULOUS. HE ALSO STATED THAT IT HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED BY NISSAN AS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 04 MODEL ENGINES BUT YET WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIRS. NISSAN BOASTS THAT THE TIMING CHAINS IN THESE ENGINES ARE MAINTENANCE FREE OR AT LEAST WORTH 300K+ MILES (SINCE BY THAT TIME MOST OWNERS WOULD HAVE GOT 15 YEARS+ OUT OF THE CAR), BUT YET THE PARTS TO HOLD THE CHAIN ON BREAK DOWN WAY BEFORE THAT. THE LABOR TO REPAIR THE SURROUNDING PARTS IS THE SAME TO REPLACE THE CHAIN SINCE THE TECH HAS TO REACH TO THE SAME SPOT OF THE ENGINE FOR REPAIRS. I WAS ORIGINALLY QUOTED $1500.+ FOR THE REPAIRS BUT WAS ABLE TO STRIKE A SMALL DISCOUNT AND PAID $1133.55 FOR "2 TENSIONER CHAINS", "CHAIN GUIDE", "TENSIONER ASSEMBLY", AND SOME OTHER SEALS & GASKETS. LABOR ALONE WAS $787.50. WHICH WAS DISCOUNTED FROM $1100.+. OUTRAGEOUS. *TR

JUST CAME BACK FROM THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE DIAGNOSED THE SHIFTING PROBLEM TO BE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION RELATED AND NEED TO REPLACE IT. I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA WITH 73K MILES AND DON'T BELIEVE SOMETHING OF THIS NATURE SHOULD BE HAPPENING AT THIS POINT. MY INTERNET SEARCH HAS NOW UNCOVERED THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH MY YEAR/MAKE/MODEL ARE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES. I THINK NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS THESE MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES. THANK YOU *TR

MY 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA WITH 64000 MILES, HAS STARTED SHIFTING HARD IN 1ST, AND 2ND GEARS, WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS YOUR NOT SUPPOSE TO FEEL THE GEARS CHANGING AT ALL. ALSO THERE IS A TICKING COMING FROM THE TIMING BELT WHICH I AM TOLD IS NORMAL....DOESN'T SOUND NORMAL TO ME! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHEN THE GEARS SHIFTED FROM SECOND TO THIRD, THE TRANSMISSION LOST POWER, SHOOK, AND ACCELERATED RAPIDLY. IN 2009 THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE FAILURE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, THE CAM-SHAFT SENSOR, BUT THE FAILURE WASN'T CORRECTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO ADVISED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WASN'T REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WILL BE CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 102,000.

THE PROBLEM STARTED SMALL AND HAS BECOME AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD AND LAGS BETWEEN SHIFTS. WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY ENGAGES IT DOES SO WITH A HARD BANG. *TR

ABOUT 12 MONTHS AGO WITH $165,000 MILES ON MY 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA BEGAN TO JERK WHEN DOWNSHIFTING FROM HIGHER GEARS. VEHICLE ALSO HAD TROUBLE ENGAGING 3RD AND 4TH GEARS WHEN ACCELERATING. TOOK VEHICLE TO NISSAN, WHO SUGGESTED A TRANSMISSION FLUSH, HAD THIS DONE BUT THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURRED BUT LESS FREQUENTLY. ONCE THE PROBLEM BECAME FREQUENT AGAIN THE PROCEDURE WAS REPEATED. INQUIRED IF A RECALL WAS OPEN FOR THIS ISSUE BUT NISSAN SAID NO, BUT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON LINE AND FOUND THAT NUMEROUS OWNERS WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AND FELT I NEEDED TO REPORT MY SITUATION. I AM CURRENTLY SAVING MONEY TO PURCHASE THE NEW TRANS BEFORE REPLACING. *TR

TRANSMISSION IS HARD SHIFTING FROM 1-2 2-3 SMALL VIBRATION THAT CANNOT BE IDENTIFIED BY DEALER OR TIRE SHOP. *TR

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

ON MY WAY TO WORK, MY 04 NISSAN MAXIMA SE SUDDENLY JERKED AND STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I NARROWLY ESCAPED ANY INJURY DUE TO NOT ONLY MY QUICK ACTIONS BUT THE ALERTNESS AND QUICK RESPONSE OF THE DRIVER BEHIND ME. MY SEARCH TO FIND OUT IF ANY ONE HAD EXPERIENCE SIMILAR PROBLEMS, RESULTED IN A PLETHORA OF SIMILAR CASES. THIS OF COURSE MADE ME FURIOUS TO KNOW THAT NISSAN HAVE A HISTORY OF FAILED TRANSMISSIONS IN THIS MODEL VEHICLE AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. I AM STEADFAST WHEN IT COMES TO REGULAR MAINTENANCE OF MY VEHICLE AND DEAR NOT PLACE THE BLAME ON THE DEALERSHIP OR THE MECHANICS. MY SITUATION COULD HAVE EASILY RESULTED IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. I HOPE SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT THIS BECAUSE IT CAN INDEED SAVE A LIFE OR LIVES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO JERK, LUNGE, AND SLIP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED OR REBUILT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 170,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I PURCHASED CAR ON 8/22/09 AND WANTED TO RETURN IT BY 8/23/09 AFTER MECHANIC SAYS TAKE IT BACK THE DEALER REFUSED TO GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK AND WANTED TO DO A PATCH JOB OF REPAIRS .....TOTAL INVESTMENT SPENT ON THIS CAR IS $2,680 ($2,500 FOR DOWN PAYMENT TO PEOPLE CHOICE AUTO SALES, SPENT $32 ON OIL CHANGE, $55 ON A FULL TANK OF GAS, AND $93 FOR BRAKES) AND I FEEL EVERY DOLLAR IS DUE BACK TO ME. IF THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME FOR THE DAYS I HAD THE CAR, FOR THE 4 DAYS I SHOULD BE ABLE TO CHARGE THEM FOR THE 3 DAYS THEY HAD THE CAR AND WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXING IT! I WORK HARD FOR MY MONEY AND NEED IT BACK. *TR

2004 NISSAN MAXIMA TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT LOW MILEAGE EVEN IF THEY ARE BEING TAKEN CARE OF THEY STILL GO BAD...THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO PUT OUT THERE HARD MONEY FOR THESE EXPENSIVE CARS AND THEY ARE CHEAPLY BUILT...HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE WITH MY 02 ACURA TL AND HONDA EXTENDED THE WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY KNOW IT WAS THEIR FAULT AND I WILL NEVER DRIVE ANOTHER NISSAN EVEN THOUGH I CURRENTLY OWN A 04 Q45 ALSO. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY BETWEEN 50 AND 60 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS WHEN THE TRANSMISSION CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO JERK VIOLENTLY DURING THE SHIFTING OF GEARS. THE DRIVER PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND WAS ABLE TO RESUME OPERATION. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY AND HAS BECOME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHICH IDENTIFIED THE FAILURE AS THE TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THIS TIME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. *UPDATED 3/12/2010 UPDATED 05/13/10

WHEN I AM DRIVING MY 2004 MAXIMA, THERE IS A HARD JERK WHEN SHIFTING GEARS AND WHEN I AM GOING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. I HAVE HAD THE CV AXLES CHANGED, THE STRUTS CHANGED, AND THE ENGINE MOUNTS CHANGED. I HAVE CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT I CAN THINK OF. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP IN TRYING TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED? NOW I AM IN THE PROCESS OF CHANGING THE TRANSMISSION MOUNT. HELP. IS THERE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM?

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA WITH 96,000 MILES AND THE UNDERCARRIAGE FLOOR BOARD IS ROTTING AWAY. I TAKE EXCELLENT CARE OF ALL OF MY CARS AND THE CAR LOOKS BRAND NEW, NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND SERVICED THROUGH THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER FOR ALL WORK ON IT. I HAVE HAD SIX NISSAN MAXIMAS (1987, 1990, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2009) AND I'VE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE LIKE THIS. I LIVE IN THE NORTHEAST BUT I ALWAYS HAVE. I THINK SOMETHING WAS UP WITH THE QUALITY AND MATERIALS FOR THE 2004 MODEL. *TR

IM WRITING YOU TODAY TO INFORMED YOU THAT MY 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA LS IS HAVING MAJOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN 2004. THIS LEAD ME TO GO ONLINE AND INQUIRE FURTHER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF FOLKS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE FILED A FORMAL COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN. VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE OF NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SINCE AUGUST 2009, IT BECAME DIFFICULT TO SHIFT FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR. THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WAS STUCK IN 5TH GEAR WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. A LOCAL MECHANIC REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WHICH REMEDIED THE SHIFTING DIFFICULTIES FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 106,660 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA SE. SHE REPLACED THE STRUTS, AXLES AND MOTOR MOUNTS ON THE VEHICLE. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT SHE SHOULD ALSO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION CHECKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DIFFERENT MECHANIC WHERE A FLUSH WAS PERFORMED. AFTERWARD, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE AND IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE NORMALLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED; HOWEVER, THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE LIABLE FOR THE REPAIRS. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE UNDER 48,000.

I HAVE AN 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA. AT FIRST IT STARTED TO JERK OCCASIONALLY. NOW ITS JERKS AND SHIFTS HARD ALL THE TIME FROM 1ST-2ND AND 2ND-3RD GEAR. THIS IS WHEN I AM ACCELERATING AND WHEN I AM SLOWING DOWN. THIS JERKING THROWS THE WHOLE CAR. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND GIVES A CODE FOR SHIFT MALFUNCTION WHICH PROVES TO BE NO SPECIFIC PART FIX. RECOMMENDATIONS ARE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION AND THEN THE PROBLEM JUST OCCURS AGAIN. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 TO 40 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS; THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR IN AN EXTREME FORWARD MOTION. WHEN PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO THE BRAKE PEDAL THE FRONT END ON THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING EXCESSIVELY. THE CONTACT DROVE ONTO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES HE WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. AN AUTHORIZED DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY THE FRONT MOTOR MOUNT AND THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT HAD CONCERNS OF THE SAFETY RISK INVOLVED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 96,000.

2004 NISSAN MAXIMA VIOLENT JERKING FROM 2ND TO 3RD. ALSO, FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. DURING CITY DRIVING ENGINE WILL REV UP TO 3,000 RPMS BEFORE GOING INTO GEAR. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA AND I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE SHIFTING IN AND OUT OF GEAR. WHEN I START THE CAR IT STALLS AND I HAVE TO RESTART AND GIVE IT GAS. IT ALSO JUST STOPPED ON ME ONE DAY ON THE INTERSTATE. I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON CARSURVEY.ORG WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AND NISSAN DOESN'T SEEM TO BE HELPING ANYONE. WITH AS MANY COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE READ YOU WOULD THINK THERE WOULD BE A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION. I HOPE SOMEONE COULD LOOK INTO THIS BECAUSE THIS SEEMS TO BE QUITE A PROBLEM IN 2004 NISSAN MAXIMAS. *TR

2004 NISSAN MAXIMA HAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IT JERKS AND NOW IT DOES NOT SHIFT AT ALL, NOW I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. NISSAN HAS MANY COMPLAINT. I NEED HELP. *TR

TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. *TR

2004 NISSAN MAXIMA WITH TRANSMISSION FAILURES. I THINK THIS IS NEGLECT FOR THE NISSAN CONSUMER DEPT NOT RECALLING THERE TRANSMISSIONS, FAILING BEFORE 100,000 MIL WITH THE MANY COMPLAINTS THEY ARE RECEIVING. SOMEONE NEEDS TO STEP IN AND HELP US. HAVE NOT HEARD OF ANY ONE GETTING HURT/INJURED THIS FAR. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE TO DO BUT REPLACE THE TRANS AND THIS IS NOT FAIR FOR ALL THE 2004 NISSAN OWNERS. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHEN I AM TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY , THEN HAVE TO SLOW DOWN OR MAKE A COMPLETE STOP, WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER SLOWING DOWN OR STOPPING THE CAR JERKS REALLY HARD. ALSO WHEN PUTTING THE CAR IN DRIVE IT JERKS. I DECIDED TO GOOGLE THE PROBLEM WITH MY CAR AND I RUN ACROSS A WEBSITE WITH COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2004 MAXIMA. IT IS A SHAME THAT SOO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2004 MAXIMA. AND THE NISSAN CORP IS NOT CALLING NATIONWIDE RECALL. AND BY THE WAY, I ALSO I GOT MY TRANSMISSION SYSTEM FLUSH...AND IT DOES NOT HELP. NISSAN RECALL THE GOODYEAR EAGLE TIRES, WHY WANT THEY RECALL THE TRANSMISSION. PLEASE HELP THE 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA OWNER WITH TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. *TR

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

WE HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH OUR TRANSMISSION FOR A FEW MONTHS NOW, WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP (CERRITOS NISSAN) AND THEY SAY THE PROBLEM IS THAT WE NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THIS WILL BE OUR THIRD TRANNY AND THE CAR ONLY HAS 120,000+ MILES ON IT. OUR FIRST TRANSMISSION LASTED 5YRS. BEFORE HAVING TO BE REPLACED AND NOW THIS ONE HAS LASTED 3YRS. THE TRANSMISSION NOW IS STUCK IN 5TH GEAR WHEN YOU SWITCH TO THE TIP TRONIC SETTING TO SEE THE GEARING AND THIS IS THE REASON THERE IS NO POWER DURING ACCELERATION. WE ALSO NEED MOTOR MOUNTS NOW BECAUSE OF THE VIOLENT JERKING THAT THE TRANNY DOES WHEN PUT INTO GEAR. AND THE DEALERSHIP ALSO SAID WE NEEDED A TIMING CHAIN REPLACEMENT BECAUSE IT WAS BAD AS WELL, TOTAL REPAIR COST $6700.00+. I'VE RECENTLY TAKEN MY CAR TO ANOTHER MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE TIMING CHAIN WAS PERFECTLY FINE. OUR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW SWITCHES DO NOT WORK AGAIN, THAT WAS REPLACED 1YR AGO. AND WE ARE NOW ON OUR THIRD SET OF FRONT STRUTS. *TR

MY 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA KEEPS JERKING AND MY TRANSMISSION KEEPS SLIPPING IN AND OUT OF GEAR. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR LESS THAN 3 YEARS WITH ONLY APPROXIMATELY 123K. *TR

2004 NISSAN MAXIMA SE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING. HAPPENS BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. STARTED @ 60K. TRANSMISSION SERVICED THROUGH DEALERSHIP. *TR

MY 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA 3.5SL HAS A UNRELIABLE RESPONSE FROM THE PASSENGER POWER DOOR LOCK. IT ONLY LOCK AND UNLOCK PARTIALLY, WHICH I BELIEVE IT IS A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE AND SOMEWHAT DISAPPOINTING TO SEE ON A BRAND CAR LIKE MAXIMA. *TR

WHILE UNDER WARRANTY, MY 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA HAD IT'S ENGINE REPLACED,ONLY TWO YEARS AFTER IT WAS BUILT. NOW, AT 95,000, THIS VEHICLE IS SUFFERING FROM TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. IT FAILS TO AUTOMATICALLY SHIFT INTO PROPER GEAR WHEN IT HAS TO GO BEYOND 2ND. THE SOLUTION, TURN THE CAR OFF...LET IT REST FOR 30 MINUTES AND IT'S FINE FOR MAYBE AN HOUR. THEN THE PROBLEM RECURS. THIS FIRST HAPPENED TO ME ON THE HIGHWAY IN WASHINGTON DC IN FAST MOVING TRAFFIC. MY CAR WOULD NOT MOVE BEYOND 20 MPH WHILE OTHER VEHICLES WERE TRAVELING AT 60-70 MPH. CONSIDERING THAT THIS HAPPENED WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THIS TRANSMISSION FAILURE COULD EASILY LEAD TO A VEHICLE ACCIDENT. APPARENTLY, MANY OWNERS OF THIS YEAR MAXIMA HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE AROUND THIS MILEAGE..NISSAN MERELY GIVES A CAVALIER RECOMMENDATION OF REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION FOR THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. THEY HAVE NO SHAME OR CONCERN OF THE FACT THAT THIS VEHICLE CANNOT MAKE IT ONLY 5 YEARS LATER WITHOUT MAJOR TRANSMISSION WORK. STANDING BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT OBVIOUSLY IS NOT OF IMPORTANCE. THEY CERTAINLY NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR TURNING AWAY FROM CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE OBVIOUSLY BEEN DUPED BY A FAULTY PRODUCT PRESENTED IN AN ATTRACTIVE WRAPPING. AT THIS POINT I'M ALMOST TOO AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR MORE THAN 30 MINUTES. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION IN MY CAR IS SLIPPING. WHEN I AM TRYING TO TAKE OFF MANY TIMES THE ACCELERATION IS DECREASED DRAMATICALLY AND PUTS MY FAMILY IN DANGER OF HAVING A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. THE GEARS ARE HARD TO SWITCH AND IT MAKES A LOUD NOISE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING IT STARTS JERKING AS IF IT WILL CUT OFF. THE DEALER CLAIMS TO NOT HAVE MANY ISSUES WITH THIS PROBLEM BUT MY ONLINE RESEARCH SHOWS ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS THE SOURCE OF MOST OF THE PROBLEMS ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL CAR. *TR

2004 NISSAN MAXIMA SE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED BY NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THAT SAID, THE TRANSMISSION WORKED SMOOTHLY UNTIL RECENTLY. WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR AND 4TH TO 5TH, OR WHEN IT DECELERATES, CAR JERKS VIOLENTLY MAKING EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF VEHICLE. FEELS AS IF CAR WAS HIT BY BEHIND. DRIVER AND PASSENGERS ARE JERKED AROUND VIOLENTLY MIMICKING WHIPLASH. TOOK THE CAR TO NISSAN DEALER AND THEY DID A TRANSMISSION FLUSH. THE TRANSMISSION FLUSH DID NOT WORK BECAUSE THE CAR CONTINUES TO DISPLAY THE SAME SYMPTOMS DESCRIBED ABOVE. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. IT HAPPENS EVERYDAY WHETHER THE MOST ROUTINE TRIP TO THE LOCAL SUPERMARKET OR WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. IT IS ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE WHEN CLIMBING HILLS OR DESCENDING AND GETTING OFF OF FREEWAYS. AGAIN, THIS CAR WITH THE ABOVE MENTIONED TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS IS AT SEVERELY HIGH RISK OF GETTING INTO OR CAUSING AN ACCIDENT FOR WHEN IT SHIFTS IT CREATES MOMENTS OF NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR. I HAVE SEARCHED AROUND THE INTERNET AND IT APPEARS, ACCORDING TO 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA SE OWNERS, THAT THIS SPECIFIC MODEL YEAR HAS A MAJOR DEFECT WITH THE TRANSMISSION THAT MAY POTENTIALLY CAUSE A FATAL INCIDENT. *TR

NHTSA, PLEASE, PLEASE GO TO THE WEBSITE I HAVE PASTED BELOW AND LOOK AT ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON THE 2004 MAXIMA. NISSAN HAS TURNED A BLIND EYE TO THE AMERICAN CONSUMER AND ARE LOOKING THE OTHER WAY ON THE DEFECTS IN AUTOMOBILE. WE LOOK TO AND RELY ON THE NHTSA TO HELP RESOLVE SERIOUS DEFECTS IN THIS AUTOMOBILE THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED. NISSAN DOESN'T WANT TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND WE NEED YOU. IT IS NOT A COINCIDENCE THAT OWNERS OF THE 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA ARE ALL HAVING THE SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND OTHER ISSUES. I WILL NOT LET MY WIFE DRIVE THIS CAR ANYMORE DUE TO THE SAFETY HAZARD THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION POSES NOT ONLY TO THE DRIVER BUT ANYONE IN IT'S PATH ON THE ROAD. THE CAR JERKS, STALLS, AND ON OCCASION FLAT LOSES POWER IN NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. W.CARSURVEY.ORG/REVIEWS/NISSAN/MAXIMA/R61092/COMMENTS/. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA AND I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR JERKING INTO AND OUT OF GEAR. I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON CARSURVEY.ORG WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AND NISSAN DOESN'T SEEM TO BE HELPING ANYONE. WITH AS MANY COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE READ YOU WOULD THINK THERE WOULD BE A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION. I HOPE SOMEONE COULD LOOK INTO THIS BECAUSE THIS SEEMS TO BE QUITE A PROBLEM IN 2004 NISSAN MAXIMAS. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA SL IN 2007, WITH 41750 MILES ON IT FROM NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN OKC, OKLAHOMA. IN JULY 2009 THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING WHEN SHIFTING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR AT APPROX. 20-25MPH. THE CAR IS AN AUTOMATIC WITH A V-6 ENGINE. WHEN THIS STARTED THE CAR HAD APPOX. 64K MILES ON IT. I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN JULY 2009 AND THEY TOLD ME A DRAIN AND FILL OF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS NEEDED. WITHIN 3 WEEKS AFTER PERFORMING THE DRAIN/FILL THE SAME SHIFTING ISSUE RESULTING. WHEN BRAKING OR ACCELERATING THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT RESULTING IN A SEVERE JERKING OF THE CAR. THE JERKING CAN BE O HARSH THAT MY HEAD WILL HIT THE HEAD REST BEHIND ME WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY WILL SHIFT. CURRENT, MY NISSAN MAXIMA IS ONCE AGAIN BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. ONCE AGAIN MY CAR ONLY HA 64K MILES AND I'VE ONLY OWNED IT FOR 2 YEARS THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES MUST BE OWN BY NISSAN HOWEVER THEY WILL NOT ASSIST WITH ANSWERS OR A RECALL. THIS MIGHT EXPLAIN THE EXTREMELY LARGE DIFFERENCE IN THE RETAIL PRICE OF THE CAR THE TRADE-IN PRICE OF AN 2004 MAXIMA, IT'S CLOSE TO A $10K DIFFERENCE. I BOUGHT MY CAR FOR $20K+ AND CURRENTLY TRADE IN IS ONLY $8-10K. NISSAN NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE TO RECALLING THESE TRANSMISSIONS AND REPLACING THEM WITH A NEW CORRECT MAKE. *TR
