general problems of the 2006 Nissan Maxima

My brakes dont work unless my 3 dashboard lights come on. Slip, tcs and abs. Sometimes I forget and drive off. When I brake at the light you could here the wires buzzing as if there was a short circuit. Finally on my passenger side in the 'back, the tire was wiggling and noticed some lugs were missing plus the hubs lugs were loose. I haven' t taken to go get it inspected because I dont have money at the moment.

My car caught fire due to electrical in the engine the whole front of my car is burned me and my family was asleep the neighbor came and knocked on the window and said my car was on fire I called the fire department they put the fire out and I asked how was the fire started the firemen told me the fire started from the engine.

Transmission slip, no power, jerk slip, revving up no power to make car move.

"takata recall" in motion, shifting has a large clock sound I'd like to know if it's a recall on the coil. Both city street and highway, when accelerating it seems to stall in moving to the next gear or actually not even shift into the next gear in motion, so will not allow the car to pick up any momentum. Reverse is very loud with a somewhat bang to it. As I said before it could be the coil but I'd like to know how to identify if it's also a driveshaft.

This vehicle is severely defective. This vehicle is not safe to be on the road. This vehicle has had several repairs for the same repair issue but the problem still exists. I have spent thousands on this vehicle and this vehicle is still inoperative and not drivable. This vehicle is a hazard for the road. Vehicle is unsafe! vehicle has still not been repaired. Please I like to be compensated and reimbursed for the loss I have suffered. Please compensate and/or reimbursed me for the $10,000. 00 I lost in a defective, inoperable, and unsafe vehicle. Thank god my child and I did not get seriously hurt while I was driving this vehicle. I remember one incident while I was driving this vehicle: right in the middle of me driving this vehicle I was going about 40-45 mph on the highway, the vehicle just shut down all of a sudden. The entire electrical system just shutdown. That was very frightening! so, yes I like to be fully compensated for all my troubles with this vehicle.

Although the car looks beautiful, it's quickly becoming one of my least favorite vehicles I've owned. When I start going forward, I have to wait and be very patient on the gas pedal to make sure it shifts properly or it will jerk myself and small children in the back forward. I park in a ramp at work and on more than one occassion the car was downshifting as I turned a corner going up the ramp and I was slowing for a pedestrian and the car jerked forward and the pedestrian jumped and gave me a scared look. Not only is that entirely embarassing as an executive but it is a huge safety hazard on multiple levels. The car seems to jerk the most from 1-2 and 2-3 and visa versa. I noted electrical as an affected part because no matter how many times I set the mirror and seats, every time I use reverse, the mirrors move and click until I adjust them to where I need them.

Car will not completely start, (and the start is fine) alarm states its stole etc. Anti-thief. . . Been in shop for weeks and they can't figure out what is is how to fix it.

The contact owns a 2006 Nissan Maxima. While driving various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 132,491.

Abs braking system failure and actuator defect; abs system sensors and hubs previously replaced in August 2009 after notification to Nissan. Nissan has failed to notify public of an abs system design defect and to issue a recall although it has known about the problem in its vehicles since approximately 2004 and the dealers have been issued an advisory. Failure of these components can lead to failure in proper braking, significant reduction of engine power, loss of speedometer, and reportedly fire. Nissan also has been notified of re-ocurrence by complainant and refused to take responsibility for repair.

Vehicle gauges stopped working with multiple warning lights coming on. Followed by smoke coming from one vent. Car would not change gears. Problem was 2 coins had slide down behind radio into the amplifier / ac controller shorting it out n several locations.

I purchased a 2006 Nissan Maxima in February 2011. . When I purchased the car it appeared to be in good running condition. . There were a few visible problems such as the headlights,running light,power seats, or windows weren't working properly. . That problem was fixed and the owner agreed to fix the brakes and the remainder of the problems however almost a year later my anti brake light is still on & the dealership have not made any attempt to fix my car. 4months after having the car the speedometer stopped working and the odometer,the gas gauge goes back & forth,the service engine light remains on and the car jerks while driving and sometimes when shifting the car out of drive into reverse it jerks hard. I have quite a few friends who have Maxima's also and have the same problem with their cars. . It's obvious it's a defect with the transmissions,speed gauge & so many other defects with these cars. Somewhere there has to be someone who can help myself as well as others who are experiencing these problems. I have read far too many complaints about these particular cars. The cost to repair these cars are expensive & not to mention the cost to have your transmission replaced & on top of all that you are still responsible for paying your car note. Hopefully soon there will be a solution to this problem. Thanks in advance!!!.

I purchased my car in June, 2010 and in July I noticed when I shift my gears it has a jerk to it, also I noticed the clutch will go all the way down and want come up. Causing me to pull over out of traffic cut the car off put it in gear and then start the car up and take off! I thought I would love Nissan, this is my 1st and last Nissan car that I will purchase I have 3 kids and I am almost scared to drive them around in my car. This car has been in the shop at least 5 times within the 3 months that I have had it. It was in the shop for 2 weeks the last time, I don't know what's going on but I do know that I will never purchase a Nissan vehicle anymore, and I will advise my friend's and family to do the same. I hate it when my family tells me that I have purchased a lemon! that's embarrassing. I have a 3 month old car that jerks for no reason, and the clutch acts up.

Vehicle started showing warning lights and responding sporadically, working smoothly then failing in various manners including: failing to accelerate after stopped at traffic light, lost power when exiting highway, lurched while driving on interstate, lights failed then turned back on, flashing failure lights, loss of fuel errors, others. Investigation revealed that a faulty design in the car computer housing and location made it possible for dimes to fall from the dash into an opening, which appeared to be a test port, in the computer causing shorts resulting in the sporadic behavior and ultimate complete failure of the unit. The mechanic was able to find technical publications that documented this known defect and the associated dangerous implications.

At 12,500 miles I was driving and it was like someone put it in neutral. Towed the car to the dealer and they changed the transmission. At 34,000 miles, it started knocking and smoking when you first start it. Brought to dealer and the gas was mixing with the oil. My claim was denied so I had to replace the engine. Now at 110,000 miles the car won't shift out of first gear. I'm a single mother and do not have any more money to sink into this lemon.

2006 Nissan Maxima numerous electronic problems affecting the transmission. Creating safety concerns, this is not a isolated condition, I know of 3 people who has had the same conditions. These are the ones I know about. This problem is ongoing.
