My 2009 Maxima currently has 128,00 miles on it. Saturday 10/26 my transmission went while on the highway, headed to work, my car began to slow down although my foot was on the gas. It came to a complete stop! luckily I was able to pull into the shoulder. I turned the car off and on and was only able to get another quarter mile down the road with the car stopping again in an exit lane. After towing it to midas, they stated the transmission went. For the mileage to only be a quarter over 100k and the transmission to fail it horrible. I am now looking at a $4200+ repair.

Transmission failed prior to first service requirements, cvt transmission. Warranty extended but not for current year. Only year prior. Also vtc retartder kit recalled for 2009-2013, not for 2014. Same problems are happening but not being covered under recall. Took to dealer and was told it is not covered even if the problem was a recall for the year before.

Transmission failure at 50,450 miles. In motion, slipping, jerking on city street. Top speed about 30-35 miles per hour.

On my way to work as I was driving down the highway my 2011 Nissan Maxima all of the sudden would no longer speed up. The vehicle was on and as I tried to accelerate while driving down the highway the speedometer went to 0 mph but the rpm would climb. I luckily was able to steer the car into an empty parking lot. My car had no check engine/service engine lights on. There were no warnings. I thought it was the speed sensor due to the original diagnostic code of p0500 and tried replacement but that did not solve the issue. My vehicle was towed to a Nissan dealership who said it was showing �pages full of codes� and they told me that my transmission needed to be completely replaced and that �it just happens. � prior to this total failure I experienced absolutely zero signs of transmission failure. There were no warning lights (check engine/service engine soon), no slipping/jerking, leaking, nothing at all. After researching the potential cause of transmission failure in my make/model/year vehicle I found there were many 2011 owners who were experiencing the same issue, total transmission failure without warning.

My car began to make a whining sound at acceleration over 60 miles per hours intermittently. The car was sold to me as certified pre-owned car at 54k miles in 2015. I have only driven it a little over 50k miles personally. The check engine light came on and I took it to my mechanic who pulled the code p01778 step motor function from the system. I notified Nissan who told me I had to have their mechanic assess the car. I dropped it off and they pulled the same code. The cvt transmission has failed. There is a 7th generation Maxima facebook page that is full of owners that discuss this very issue all of the time. It is referred to as a cvt boom! youtube is full of videos that discuss the fact that Nissan knew this was an issue so much so that the european version of this car came with a cooler and the american version did not! there is a class action for some models why not this one??.

My 2014 Nissan Maxima with my family and myself inside were in a near death situation when the car did not have power to cross train tracks that went across the road. We heard the train coming and the only reason we escaped death was because of a man in a pickup truck in back of us observed the situation and quickly pushed the car over the tracks and out of the way just before the train quickly passed through. I later found out from the dealership that the Nissan cvt transmission failed and that was why the car didn't have the power to cross the train tracks. They also said that the cvt transmission repair would cost me $5000. 00 and that the repair wasn't covered under any cvt transmission warranty. Nissan should cover this repair on there known troublesome cvt transmission. Would Nissan cover expenses from the death of my family and myself because of there faulty transmission?.

Car has a little over 50,000 miles, was dealer maintained and, transmission failure. The car has less than average wear.

Sudden total transmission failure at 45,699 miles on Maxima 2005. Put car in reverse, backed out put in drive it stalled out. Car did not want to start, I was in middle of street. Car has never ever given me issues prior. Sudden "service engine" light, (never illuminated before. Put accelerator to floor to start then car would barely move forward, it had no 1, 2nd gears. Drove it out of middle of street. Took forever to get to 20mph. Parked car, started easier in the morning but made horrible clunk when put in reverse. It is now at repair shop and not sure of full diagnosis yet but told will probably bee a full transmission rebuild.

Vehicle has approximately 91k miles on it and the cvt transmission has failed. Vehicle has only been serviced by the dealership and never received any type of notification of change of fluid levels or the need to add fluids. Was driving down the street and vehicle was pretty much stuck. Eventually vehicle pulled itself through and wall accelerator very fast as if you floored it. I have looked on web and this has been a problem for many. I believe Nissan is aware of this ctv failure. There is absolutely no reason why a transmission should fail without warning with less than 100k miles on the vehicle.

Transmission failed at 64,000 miles and stopped while driving on the road, unable to accelerate. I replaced the transmission and it failed again a second time while driving on the road. Delaership says I need another transmission. Failure happened while driving on the road.

My transmission just failed for the second time after being replaced the first time by Nissan as it was under warranty. It was regularly flushed/ serviced. There is a major issue with the transmission itself and Nissan must do something about it.

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!.

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.

Intermittent high rpm's with no control of speed. Would happen then not happen for days. Would not go at stop signs/stop lights then surge forward when the transmission (we later learned) finally engaged. On a day it wasn't acting up we took it to where we bought it (dealership) and they immediately notified us that we needed a brand new transmission $5,500. 2,053 miles outside of warranty. We could not believe that when they contacted corporate no consideration for our long-term relationship. Never in a million years did we think it was something so serious as a complete transmission failure. This transmission is supposedly the second (improved) transmission type that Nissan has put in the Maxima with the prior generation of transmissions being given a warranty of up to 10 years or 100,000 miles due to all the prior problems that were supposed to have been fixed with this second generation. Now, they won't even honor the transmission issue with a 62,053 mileage. The transmissions aren't fixed! we have 2 small grandchildren we pick up every other week and regularly use the car to pick them up. How scary to have realized we could have been in an accident with the kids in the car because we had no idea that the transmission on a car with only 62,053 miles would be completely shot. Someone please at your organization look into this.

The 2004 Nissan Maxima suffers from a common issue within the transmission. The valve body causes premature transmission failure within these cars. This results in sudden hard jerking / delayed shifting when changing gears in their automatic transmission. This means loss of control occurs when the transmission finally catches itself since the car will continue to rev higher than normal. Overtime the car will experience slow acceleration, due to the car being thrown into a safety mode unexpectedly which keeps the car in a "5th" gear state. Also, because of the codes this faulty part will throw, a vehicle with this transmission will not pass certain state emissions. Repairs are upwards to thousands of dollars, and unfortunately replacing it with the same part will only be a temporary fix. This is a major safety concern because it dramatically reduces the response time, and puts the driver at serious risk.

Transmission started failing at around 98k miles. Jerks and slips while driving. Doesn't perform properly while operating vehicle. Happens while driving on any type road, any conditions, any time and at any speed.

After coming to a stop the car does not want to accelerate. Going from 1st to 2nd is the biggest challenge but the car is not shifting well into any gear. The transmission already failed at 48,000 miles and was replaced under warranty. It is sad to know that Nissan would not correct the true problem, simply mask it for the time being and put a single mother right back into the same difficult situation. This is my only means of transportation. 2 out of the 4 cars that I have owned have been Nissan's. I purchased this car for reliability. Sure, problems will come about with any car over 100,000 miles, but you don't expect the transmission to go out on your Nissan. Nissan needs to correct the problem with these prematurly failing transmissions!.

2005 Nissan Maxima transmission is failing prematurely. Thousands of other complaints similar to mine online. Hard knock when shifting from 1st to 2nd, then delay in transmission "catching" 4th gear (loss of power). If acceleration is needed at that point to avoid an accident, it would not be available. Also, immediate loss of transmission is a safety concern in all cases. According to online reports, these are not isolated incidents and there should be an immediate recall to replace the transmissions in these vehicles.

Wife was driving vehicle down the interstate. Engine revved and car lurched. She exited interstate and we took the vehicle to the dealership. Replaced transmission under warranty. 2nd incident occurred coming off a mountain in east tennessee. Transmission failed and had to ride brakes to flat land, over 3 miles. 2nd incident occurred.

Transmission shift erratically! slips, clunks, slams into or out of gear! there are times it is so bad the car is unsafe to operate on public roads or highways. Since I've experienced this problem I have read many other of the complaints whom describe the same problems. Nissan needs to recall this car/transmission. The know it is a deadly problem. If there have been "unexplained" injury or deadly accidents involving the Nissan Maxima the nhtsb may want to look into the transmission failing and causing the deadly accident.

The valve body or valve assembly on the transmission is failing causing hard shift and high revs while shifting. Which is very hard and could cause the transmission to fail. It is well known by Nissan and they are no help at fixing this problem. New valve body is around $1100 without labor. If waited to long to replace, new transmission could cost $3400.
