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.

Car has a consistent sulfur/rotten eggs smell for as long as I have owned the vehicle. Problem occurs at least 8 out of 10 times driving the vehicle. Smell is disgusting and I am wondering if this is causing me and my passengers health problems. Dealer and Nissan Consumer Affairs refuse to recognize nor fix the problem after 2 prolonged visits and weeks of phone calls after filing complaint with Nissan.
