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.

Replaced valve body at 55k and it's now at 85k. It is shifting very hard; park to drive and reverse to drive. Delay and jerk when shifting. On the other hand, my 96 Maxima with 165k is fine. Would love to stay Nissan loyal, but they should step up here.
