POWER TRAIN
I AM TOLD THAT I AM EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH MY TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE. AFTER CAREFUL RESEARCH, AND TWO MECHANIC OPINIONS IT HAS BEEN TOLD TO ME THAT NISSAN KNEW THAT THEY HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL OF MAXIMA AND HAS NOT OWNED UP TO THIS PROBLEM. NEITHER HAVE THEY RECALLED OR TRYING RIGHT THEIR WRONG. THESE ITEMS ARE THE LIFE OF THE CAR. I HAVE ALSO CHECKED THE REVIEWS ON EDMUNDS.COM AND THERE ARE SEVERAL OWNERS OF THIS SAME CAR THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES AND COMPLAINTS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT MEASURES CAN BE TAKEN AGAINST NISSAN FOR THEM OWN UP TO THESE DEFECTIVE COMPONENTS. IT WILL HURT THEM IN THE LONG RUN IF THEY DO NOT. I WILL CERTAINLY MAKE SURE THAT THE WORLD KNOWS ABOUT THIS AND DO NOT EVEN ATTEMPT TO PURCHASE A NISSAN. I ONLY WISH I HAD DONE THIS BEFORE I PURCHASED THIS CAR. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS, I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS THAT JUST ABOUT EVERY OTHER 2004-2005 NISSAN MAXIMA OWNER HAS EXPERIENCED. MINE IS A MAXIMA SE WITH 5 SPEED AUTO (WITH MANUAL SHIFT MODE). ONCE THE CAR WARMS UP, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY HARD AND ROUGH FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. IT ALSO DOWNSHIFTS HARD FROM 3RD TO 2ND GEAR. AT THIS POINT, IF I PUT THE CAR IN PARK OR REVERSE, AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE, THERE'S ABOUT A 3-5 SECOND DELAY, THEN IT MAKES A BANGING NOISE AS IT KICKS INTO GEAR. THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS GET WORSE: WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND AND 2ND TO 3RD GEARS IT SLIPS INTO NEUTRAL (CAUSING RPM'S TO FREELY SHOOT UP NEARLY TO THE REDLINE) AND THEN JERKS AND SLAMS BACK INTO GEAR VERY ROUGH & HARD. THIS REALLY AFFECTS THE CARS PERFORMANCE. THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS GO FROM WORSE TO MORE WORSE: EVENTUALLY SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 3RD AND 4TH GEAR, I'LL HEAR AND FEEL THE TRANSMISSION MAKE A BANGING SOUND AND LOCK UP...NO UP OR DOWN SHIFTING. THIS CAUSES THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT TO LIGHT UP. AT THIS POINT, THE CAR ACCELERATES VERY SLOWLY FROM A STOP SINCE IT'S LOCKED IN GEAR AND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE RPM'S ARE VERY HIGH. WHEN SWITCHING THE TRANSMISSION TO MANUAL MODE, THE GEAR INDICATOR ALWAYS STAYS AT "5". I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS AND RE-START THE CAR TO GET THE TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT AGAIN, BUT UNLESS IT'S HAD SEVERAL HOURS TO COOL OFF, THE SAME PROBLEMS START AGAIN IMMEDIATELY IN SEQUENCE. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT AND HOW NISSAN IS NOT BEING HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS BLOWS MY MIND AND IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE FOR A $30,000+ CAR THAT'S UNDER 5 YEARS OLD!!! *TR
