I own a 2006 Nissan Maxima with 58,000 mi. I have been encountering trans. Problems since 55/56,000 mi. I have had trans fluid flushed with no success. The trans clanks occasionally while changing gears and emits a slight screeching noise around 3000. 00 rpm's that sounds like metal to metal contact. If this was any other component I might be able to let it go, but the trans. Usually gets progressively worse at a rapid rate once you begin noticing symptoms. Dealer recommends new tranny. I have reviewed this issue online and there are multiple owners encountering this same issue. You would think that with so many owner having similar issues since 2004, that some type of a solution would have been proposed to loyal Nissan owners that have to foot the numerous bills for the dealers ridiculous guessing game quick fixes. Nissan owners are being taken advantage of and this has got to be addressed and compensated in some way.
