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.

BAD air conditioner compressors. Costly and a pain in the neck. This car goes through Freon like crazy, even with a new compressor.

Bad design.

Shame on Nissan. Don't believe their "excellent" reputation for putting out a good product.
