Faults:

Transmission is jerking when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear, and sometimes at downgrade.

Problems mostly noticeable when the car is warmed up.

Needs motor mounts at only 48k miles.

General Comments:

Yet another transmission victim. Took the car in for jerking and was told it needs motor mounts, and no codes were found when the diagnostic test was done. The car is only at 48k so still under warranty. I will take to EVERY Nissan dealer in town until someone diagnoses the transmission problem and fixes it while still under warranty, OTHERWISE I will take every service printout to my lawyer as proof of requested service when the transmission EVENTUALLY HAS to be fixed/replaced.

PLEASE Contact me with any suggestions: qr2qh@aol.com

This car is an expensive lemon! It makes clicking noises when it drives, and the tires lose pressure so fast, and I have no idea why.

The engine makes a thumping noise.

OMG! I can't believe what I'm reading. My Nissan has been a problem since I bought it. I would love to help file a complaint. I'm a single mother of three, and I don't have the money to repair the manufacturers mess ups.

The vehicle has a horrible noise when it shifts from 1st to 2nd gear, and even at times as I go from 2nd to 1st. It kicks and it has a clunking noise along with it.

Nissan has a really hard time backing up their products. I am extremely disappointed. The job is going to cost me $3K according to them; it needs a new transmission and the car only has 56000 miles.

Any suggestions?

This car sucks! I am very disappointed with this Nissan.

My transmission started slipping and jerking so I took it to the dealer. The Nissan dealer recommended a flush of the tranny and some other costly flushes, which did nothing for the problem. From what I'm reading other owners are having similar problems. Nissan by this time must know about this flaw in this their flagship model.

General Comments:

I will never buy another Nissan again.

I too have fallen in to the 04 Maxima Transmission problem category which Nissan says its not their problem. My 04 Maxima has 69700 miles and it too shifts hard and also slips. Going up the hill to my house, I let go of the gas for a second and when pressed the gas again, the engine just reved up as if in Neutral and then it kicked back into gear with a big thump. I took it to the Nissan Dealership and they stated that it was the Transmission and that it would cost $3700 to replace. I never expected that a car company such as Nissan would make such a bad product and just ignore its customers when they encounter issues. 69K miles is too early to experience transmission problems in any car, not just Nissan. And if it was only mine, I could understand, but form reading this forum I noticed that it is an on-going thing. I contacted Nissan corp, and again they stated that the warranty has expired and they cannot do anything for me. This attitude towards customers will eventually backfire as customers will seek a higher quality vehicle, which Nissan at one point used to be.
