CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2004-2006 Nissan Maxima has widespread transmission problems. It starts with the vehicle jerking when shifting, & progresses to full-blown transmission failure.
Maxima owners report spending $3,000 to replace the transmission, typically around when the odometer hits 100,000 miles.
There's a class action lawsuit filed in late 2011, & it is still in the "discovery" stage. Apparently, these things take time ... far too much time.

Most Common Solutions:
just replace the hose and refill the A/C (1 reports)
The A/C hose went out. It had been leaking for years, but finally gave up. I replaced it and all is well. The bolt that holds the hose to the tube, low pressure side, was frozen in place. They are dissimilar metals and were not treated with a dielectric at the factory, so it would never come off. Aluminum vs Steel. So the tube also had to be replaced. This is all on the low pressure side.
