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.

The consumer noticed that the front driver side tire was getting low on air. The vehicle was taken to a service station, and the service manager told her the tire had a crack and needed to be replaced. The Goodyear dealership found that all four tires had cracks on the inside beading. The consumer had the tires replaced and no longer experienced a defect. (12/02/05)
