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.
First it started out the car just shut down with no acceleration and then the shifter locked in park, then after shut engine off it would not start even with full battery power, I could smell the electrical burn from the thermostat control unit frying out,.so after weeks to figure this out I brought to the dealer where they priced it at $745!! HELL NO I drove It home, I got the [part for $200 replaced myself and WOW still no start no shift!! I"VE FREAKIN HAD IT!!!
