SAME PROBLEM AS MANY OTHERS WITH THIS HORRIBLE TRANSMISSION. AT LOW THROTTLE, MAJOR JOLT WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. JUST ABOUT RIPS THE ENGINE OFF IT'S MOUNTS.

TRANSMISSION JERKS, SLIPS WHILE DRIVING ALSO BANGING SOUNDS WHEN YOU CHANGE GEARS THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR AWHILE I HAD TRANSMISSION FLUID FLUSHED, HAD THE ENGINE SPEED SENSOR REPLACED, NOW I WAS TOLD I NEED TRANSMISSION REPLACED 90,898 MILES HAD TO REPLACE UNDER CAR BODY BECAUSE IT ROTTED OUT

TRANSMISSION JERKS WHEN DOWNSHIFTING ON HIGHWAY AND ROADS, THIS IS A VERY HARD JERK THAT IS VERY HAZARDOUS. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ONLINE AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE.

TRANSMISSION KEEPS JERKING AND STALLING OUT KEEPS ON SLIPING DURING SHIFTS

DURING DRIVING ITS JERKING AND BUMPING SHOWS "SERVICE ENGINE" ALERT. MECHANIC VERIFIED AND HE SAID MAY BE TRANSMISSION HAVE ISSUE.

CAR LURCHES FORWARD WHEN COMING OUT OF TURNS, SEEMS LIKE IT IS GETTING CAUGHT DOWNSHIFTING FROM WHAT MUST BE 3RD GEAR DOWN TO SECOND..WHEN IT CATCHES, THE CAR TAKES OFF AND ACCELERATES FORWARD QUICKLY. BOUGHT THE CAR WITHOUT A WARRANTY AT 79,000 AND AM SHOCKED THIS HASN'T BEEN MADE INTO A RECALL YET FOR THE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS NATURE OF THE PROBLEM.

ME RADIO AND GPS AND AIR AND HIT IS THE PROBLEM 1 DAY WORK OTHERS DAY NO

FLOORBOARDS ON '04 MAXIMA COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH. CAR IS 1 OWNER, GARAGED, LOW MILEAGE. REAR SUB FRAME PART WAS REPLACED ON RECALL SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE. REASON- NOT SUITABLE FOR NORTHERN CLIMATE. CAR WAS BOUGHT AND IS STILL IN ST. LOUIS AREA

I JUST BOUGHT A 2004 MAXIMA ON AUGUST 2014.JUST BROUGHT THE CAR FOR A OIL AND THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT A HAVE A ROTTED FLOOR PANEL AN THE PASSANGER SIDE.WENT ON LINE AND NOTICE THAT I WAS NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS PROBLEM.CAN YOU HELP? I DONT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE.I HAVE CHILDREN AND IAM AFRAID THAT THIS CAN CAUSE A ACCIDENT.

I NOTICED A SMELL WHEN I WAS DRIVING A COUPLE WEEKS AGO, SO I TOOK MY 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA INTO A LOCAL MECHANIC THAT I TRUST ON 6/26/15. AFTER PUTTING THE CAR IN THE AIR, IT TOOK HIM TWO SECONDS TO NOTE THE PROBLEM: THE FLOOR PANELS ON THE FRONT PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE ARE COMPLETELY ROTTING/RUSTING THROUGH FROM THE INSIDE OUT. YOU CAN SEE MY CARPET THROUGH THE BOTTOM OF MY CAR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. MIND YOU, THERE IS NO HISTORY OF FLOOD DAMAGE TO THIS CAR (I PAID THE $40 FOR A CARFAX TO FIND OUT), AND I LIVE IN TENNESSEE, WHERE WE DO NOT GET ENOUGH SNOW FOR SALT TO CAUSE ANY DAMAGE. I'VE DONE AN AMAZING JOB TAKING CARE OF MY CAR AND AM HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS SITUATION. I'VE ALSO DONE MY RESEARCH AND HAVE NOTICED MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE, SO I KNOW I'M JUST ONE OF MANY 2004 MAXIMA OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM IS AN IMMENSE SAFETY HAZARD. I WAS TOLD I MIGHT BE ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR SAFELY FOR ANOTHER MONTH OR TWO BEFORE I RISK MY SEAT FALLING FORWARD WITH ME IF I BRAKE TOO SUDDENLY. WITH AS MANY CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND THE FACT THAT THE DAMAGE BEGINS LOCALIZED ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES, RESPECTIVELY, THIS APPEARS TO BE A STRUCTURAL DEFECT IN THE 2004 MAXIMA THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED TO ENSURE THE CONTINUED SAFETY OF THESE CARS' DRIVERS.

TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 76,000 MILES. NISSAN WOULD NOT HELP IN REPAIRS. FAILED AGAIN @ 139,000 MILES. SAFETY ISSUE WOULD BE WHEN CAR STOPS COMPLETELY AND YOUR CAR COULD GET REAR ENDED AND/OR WHEN IT JUST ALL OF THE SUDDEN SLOWS EVEN WHEN ACCELERATING. ALL THIS WITH LITTLE ONES IN THE CAR!

1 COVE COURT

VEHICLE IS SHOWING EARLY SIGNS OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE. WHEN SLOWING DOWN, DOWN SHIFTING TO THE LOWER GEAR IS HARSH. THE GEAR IS SLAMMED INTO POSITION AND DECELERATES THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS, MANY OTHER CONSUMERS HAVE HAD COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHICH LED TO A REPAIR COST BETWEEN $3000 AND $6000. I FEAR THAT DURING THE WINTER TIME, CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE COULD BE LOST IN SNOWY CONDITIONS DUE TO A SUDDEN DECELERATION LEADING INTO A SEVERE ACCIDENT.

MY CAR IS JERKING AND BUCKING REALLY BADLY WHILE INTO GEAR ALSO WHILE COMING TO STOPS AND DRIVING ALONG. THE TAKE OFF IS SLOW AND HESITANT AND IT LOSES POWER AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING. WHILE PUTTING IT IN GEAR IT JERKS REALLY HARD AS WELL. PLEASE HELP! I CAN NOT AFFORD TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND I NEED MY TRANSPORTATION FOR WORK

THE FLOOR PANEL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS ROTTEN THROUGH AND IT FAIL THE SAFETY INSPECTION. I AM DISABLED AND CAN NOT GET UNDER THE CAR TO TAKE PHOTOS.

MY CAR FAILED THE SAFETY INSPECTION DUE TO RUST ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS A HOLE IN THE FLOOR PAN AS WELL AS RUST IN THE SIDE RAIL. I AM A DISABLED FORM MARINE VET. MY WIFE LEFT ME AND EVERYTHING I HAD. SO I CAN NOT AFFORD THIS TO BE FIXED. FROM ALL THE COMPLETES ABOUT THIS THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. I CAN NOT TAKE ANY PICTURES BECAUSE AFTER 3/3 LEVEL BACK FUSIONS I CAN NOT GET UNDER THE CAR. THE PROBLEM WAS FOUND BY THE STATE INSPECTION FAILED DUE TO THE RUST.

VEHICLE HAS 91000 MILES ON IT AND TRANSMISSION IS FAILING.(JERKS WHEN VEHICLE TAKES OFF FROM STATIONARY POSITION. FRONT END GIVES ROUGH RIDE, AFTER REPLACING STRUTS.

THE FLOOR PANEL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS A HOLE IN IT DUE TO RUST AND ROT. IT FAILED THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE SAFETY INSPECTION, MY CAR IS A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA SE, AND I AM A DISABLED MARINE VETERAN. I TOOK IT TO A BODY SHOP AND THERE COST WAS $800.00 DOLLARS AND FOR ME BEING DISABLED I CAN NOT AFFORD THAT COST. NISSAN NEEDS TO STEP UP HERE AND FIX WHAT IS RIGHT, NOT TO CALL ME AND TRY TO SELL ME A NEW CAR. I TOLD THE DEALER WHO IS GOING TO PAY FOR THIS NEW CAR. I AM SO SICK OF BEING A DISABLED MARINE VETERAN AND BEING TREATED LIKE CRAP. MOST PEOPLE JUST DO NOT GIVE A CRAP THEY JUST WANT YOUR MONEY, SOMETHING I DO NOT HAVE. MY CAR WAS IN A GARAGE MOST OF THE TIME IN A SMALL TOWN.

THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS CAR GETS VERY JERKY AND CAUSES EITHER DELAYED OR UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION WHICH IS VERY HAZARDOUS WHILE DRIVING IN HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS. FROM WHAT I'VE READ, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND I WAS GOING ABOUT 60MPH THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STALLS OUT I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE I COME WITHIN SECONDS OF BEING REAR ENDED I'M IN THE MIDDLE LANE SO I HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO MERGE OVER BUT GUESS WHAT I CAN'T BECAUSE THE CAR IS STALLED OUT SO I PUT CAUTION LIGHTS ON AND IT TAKES ABOUT TWINS BEFORE THE CAR WILL EVEN START BACK UP AND WHEN IT DOES ITS GEARED UP TO WHAT SOUNDS LIKE A FIFTH GEAR AND IT BARLEY TAKES OFF I'M TALKING MY FOOT TO THE FLOOR AND IT'S TAKING OFF AT 2MPH COME ON NOW, SO CALL FOR HELP GET MY CAR TOWED CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SAID IT WAS CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR HAD IT REPLACED CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF CAME AND PICKED UP MY CAR HAD TO DRIVE THAT DAY 45MINS FROM WHERE I LIVED AND ABOUT E0MINS INTO THE TRIP BAM IT STALLS AGAIN AT 60MPH SAME SCENARY AFTER THE CAR COOLS DOWN IT STARTS BACK UP JUST FINE BUT AFTER 30MINS OF A CONSTANT DRIVE IT STALLS OUT AND I'M STUCK IN 5TH GEAR ....PLEASE HELP! *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILURE - I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY 1 YEAR OLD CHILD WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND FAILED. I WENT FROM DOING 50 TO 5 ON THE HIGHWAY IN FRONT OF AN 18 WHEELER. LUCKILY I AM A GOOD DRIVER AND USED MY SENSES TO PULL OVER AS QUICKLY AND SAFELY AS POSSIBLE. *TR

FLOORBOARD IN MY 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA IS ROTTED OUT. PASSENGER SIDE IS ALMOST RIGHT THROUGH. MY MECHANIC SAID NO OTHER CARS HAVE THIS PROBLEM. OBVIOUSLY, IT IS A NISSAN DEFECT. SAFETY ISSUES ASIDE, NISSAN SHOULD STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT. WE PAY GOOD MONEY AND EXPECT TO GET WHAT WE PAID FOR. HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE TO FIX OR REIMBURSE THEIR CUSTOMERS! IT IS YOUR JOB AND RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT THE CONSUMER. THANK YOU. *TR

TRANSMISSION SLIPPING ALMOST RAN INTO ANOTHER CAR. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM I SEE AFTER DOING ONLINE RESEARCH. *TR

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA W/124,000 MILES. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS SINCE AROUND 115,000 MILE. IT SEEMS LIKEN THERE HAS BEEN A PLETHORA OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THE VEHICLES? *TR

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR AN INSPECTION, FOUND OUT THAT THE FLOOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAD RUSTED FROM THE INSIDE OUT AND THERE WAS A GOOD SIZE HOLE. IT COST ME A COUPLE HUNDRED TO FIX BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T PASS THE INSPECTION. THE NEXT THING WAS THE SLACK TIMING CHAIN, THE CAR SOUNDS LIKE A TRUCK. I'VE BEEN TOLD IT WOULD COST UP TO $3000 TO FIX. THEN THE BIGGEST SAFETY ISSUE IS THE TRANSMISSION, THIS ONE IS REALLY CONCERNING. THE JERKING, BUCKING, KICKING, CLANGING, THE SECONDS OF HESITATION BETWEEN DRIVE AND REVERSE AND THEN SUDDENLY IT ENGAGES AND THE KICK COULD GIVE YOU WHIPLASH. SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE I'M IN A RODEO. WHEN THE CAR SITS FOR AWHILE (OVERNIGHT) THERE IS NO ISSUE WITH THE INITIAL START BUT ONCE IT WARMS UP THAT'S IT. YOU CAN'T ACCELERATE PROPERLY ONCE THE CAR SLOWS DOWN, OR IS MAKING A TURN, GOING AROUND A BEND OR COMES TO A STOP BECAUSE IT DROPS OUT OF GEAR, THEN THERE IS THE HESITATION AND AT THAT POINT IT JUST REVS, THIS HAPPENS 2 OR 3 TIMES BEFORE IT ENGAGES AGAIN THEN THERE IS A MASSIVE BANG AND THE CAR LUNGES FORWARD, BY THEN THE TRAFFIC IS RIGHT UNDER YOUR REAR BUMPER. AFTER THIS HAPPENS A FEW TIMES THERE IS NO MORE ACCELERATION, THE PEDAL HAS TO BE PUSHED TO THE FLOOR FOR THE CAR TO MOVE. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON A MONTH OR TWO AGO AND HASN'T GONE OFF. THIS IS A REAL DANGEROUS, SAFETY ISSUE. A FEW DAYS AGO ANOTHER ISSUE APPEARED, I CANNOT OPEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WITH THE REMOTE DOOR OPENER OR THE ELECTRONIC DOOR OPENER ON THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR. AT THIS POINT I'VE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE ISSUES, THEY ARE ALL MANUFACTURE PROBLEMS BUT THE TIMING CHAIN AND TRANSMISSION IS THE BIGGEST WHEN IT COMES TO SAFETY BECAUSE YOU DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE CAR WILL STOP. WHY HASN'T NISSAN DONE A RECALL????? THERE ARE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS.

THE CAR IS JERKING IS WHILE DRIVING. IT IS ALSO REVVING WHILE DRIVING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

THE CAR STARTED BUCKING WHEN IS DOWNSHIFT INTO A LOWER GEAR AND IT JERKS AND IT'S SLIPS. I HAVE A HUNDRED 100 THOUSAND MILES ON THE SPEEDOMETER.

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

I WAS INSPECTING UNDER THE HOOD AND THE RADIATOR SPLIT AT THE TOP, SPRAYING COOLANT EVERYWHERE. THE CAP WAS FUNCTIONING. NO INJURY BUT VERY DANGEROUS. THE RADIATOR LOOKS LIKE IT IS MADE OF SOME TYPE OF PLASTIC. I HAVE A PHOTOGRAPH OF THE RADIATOR. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER. I DIDN'T ASK FOR COMPENSATION. I ASKED THAT THE NISSAN ENGINEERING DEPT REVIEW THE DEFECT FOR SAFETY REASONS AND RECEIVED NO REPLY. I REPLACED THE RADIATOR MYSELF. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE THE RADIATOR IN MY GARAGE. THANKS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
