The contact owns a 2005 Nissan Maxima. While driving at an unknown speed, the vehicle started to jerk and then stalled. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and it was determined that the motor mounts, crank position sensor, and the timing chain needed to be replaced. The dealer stated that the vehicle may still need a new transmission, but these repairs should be done first. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 55,000.

I took my car to Nissan to have my car totally checked over . The abs light came on and I had sharp jerks from the transmission and hesitation around 40 mph . The timing chain also had a rattle when the car was started. My abs system had failed due to water shorting out the abs sensor which destroyed the abs control module repair cost 1200. 00 . When I told the service advisor my abs light was on, he had a service bulletin at his station with exactly what he thought was wrong with my car and he told me it was a common issue with my car. The transmission needs a valve body due to premature wear cost 3500. 00 to rebuild and install new valve body design . The timing chain has guides that wear and chain rubs against plastic then down to metal repair cost 1500. 00. Nissan needs to fix all of these defective cars and pay the people who have made these costly repairs.

My car transmission is slipping when trying to accelerate and shifts hard when its does in 1 and 2nd gear and sometimes stall the car and wont move only rev for about 5 secs then jerk hard enough to make it feel like I got hit by another car.

I pulled out at a busy intersection and my Nissan Maxima stalled out, it seemed like it would not go into first gear, even though I was pressing the gas pedal to accelerate, the car just wouldn't go into gear! it caused other cars to have to slam on brakes and drive on the shoulder to avoid hitting me and each other! my car finally "jerked" violently into gear. I took it to the Nissan dealership and they said this was a known defect in the transmission, 4,000 to fix!! mind you they will replace it with a new defective transmission that there it no guarantee it will last more than 1 year! not a safe car to drive in metropolitan areas!.

Car has stalled on a number of occasions. From a stop, the car will not accelerate nor go into gear, then after a few minutes the car will slam into gear and send the car lurching forward. It actually feels as though someone has hit you from behind. Luckily I was always a distance away from the car in front of me and/or not close enough to other vehicles. Someone is going to be killed from a situation such as this. I have been told that I need a whole new transmission. There are many, many similar defects noted on-line with 04', 05', 06' and 07' Nissans. I have also been told by Nissan dealers that Nissan is replacing transmissions on 07' models but not on the earlier vehicles & that there is a known defect in their valve body which results in failed transmissions.
