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.

since i noticed this issue (July 2007) i made enough trips to Sansone Rt1 automall at Avenell, NJ. each time they charge me some amount and problem never got fixed. Finally pointed to my driving habit and replaced my wheels. But problem remains. got fedup with Sansone Rt1 mall and went to another dealer , again story repeats. Opened ticket with NISSAN company and no body responds to my calls. i have no clue why i bought such a lousy car, i could have bought BMW which has excellent service for four years according to my friend. its really pain in the Ass. now people reluctant to come in my car. Holy sh*t...
