2004 Nissan Maxima Power Train

TRANSMISSION ON MY 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA IS HITTING REALLY HARD INTO SECOND AND THIRD GEAR. *TR

TRANSMISION SLIPPING BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. *TR

2004 MAXIMA SE EXPERIENCING SEVERE TRANSMISSION JERK. EVERY PLACE I GO IN ADDITION TO THE DEALER STATE THAT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AT AROUND $3,400. THE TRANSMISSION WAS FLUSHED AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTED I HAVE NO EXTENDED WARRANTY AND IT GETS FRUSTRATING. I HAD A COMPLAINT FILED EARLIER WITH CHRYSLER FOR THE 2.7 LITER ENGINE SLUDGE ISSUE BUT NO RESOLUTION TO THAT EITHER. I HAD TO REPLACE THAT ENGINE TWICE AT $6,000 A POP. HERE WE GO AGAIN. *TR

MY TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND JERKS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. FUNNY THE DEFECT DID NOT HAPPEN UNTIL AFTER MY WARRANTY ENDED. *TR

THE CAR WAS SLIPPING AND JERKING, TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

2004 NISSAN MAXIMA MY TRANSMISSIONS HAS BEEN JERKING AND SLIPPING FOR OVER A YEAR NOW I HAVE TRIED A FEW DIFFERENT TRANSMISSION MECHANICS AND THEY ARE SAYING I WILL HAVE TO GET A NEW TRANSMISSION. THIS DOES NOT MAKE SENSE FOR A 2004 CAR TO ACT LIKE THIS. I DID RESEARCH AND I HEAR THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY OF THE 2004 I MAKE A CAR PAYMENT EVERY MONTH ON A CAR I CANNOT DRIVE THIS IS HORRIBLE FOR NISSAN. *TR

TRANSMISSION IS JERKING. I JUST PURCHASED THE 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA AND I AM EXPERIENCING A JERKING IN THE VEHICLE WHEN IT SHIFTS FROM 1ST GEAR TO 2ND AND VICE-VERSA. *TR

A YEAR AFTER THE PURCHASE OF MY 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA I HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND JERKS. I HAVE CHANGED THE FLUIDS ON A TIMELY MANNER AND THE CAR IS STILL GIVING ME PROBLEMS. I BELIEVE NISSAN SHOULD MAKE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE CONSIDERING THERE ARE OTHERS OUT THERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SLIP AND JERK WHILE SWITCHING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR. THERE WERE NO RECALLS AVAILABLE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 53,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION - SLIPPING WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR; IT HESITATES TO CATCH AND WHEN IT DOES IS JERKS VIOLENTLY INTO GEAR. THE TRANSMISSION IS NOW DEAD AND NO LONGER WORKS AT ALL. IT IS AT THE DEALER WHILE I AWAIT A RESPONSE FROM NISSAN FOR A GOODWILL FIX. MY RESEARCH YIELDED A MULTITUDE A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA OWNERS HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACED THEIR TRANSMISSION. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. IT IS HAZARDOUS TO PUBLIC AS WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC THAT'S ALREADY AT 55 MPH OR MORE, IT HESITATES AND STALL AND CAN INDEED CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR UPDATED

I HAVE A 04 NISSAN MAXIMA, THAT HAS BEEN GIVING ME SOME TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I WAS TOLD I NEEDED NEW MOTOR MOUNTS. PAID FOR THE FRONT. BUT AFTER SEARCHING MANY 04 MAXIMAS ARE HAVING THESE SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. *TR

74,000 MILES ON MY 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA, AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT BUCKS WHEN CHANGING GEARS, AND MAKES A RATTLING NOISE AS IF SOMETHING IS HANGING OFF THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR. *TR

MY 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA TRANSMISSION IS COMPLETELY GONE ITS GOING COST $3000 FOR A NEW ONE..I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND THOUSANDS OF 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA SE & SL THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED NISSAN NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE & RECALL THESE VEHICLES THIS IS MY FIRST AND LAST NISSAN. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION WAS DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALERSHIP AS HAVING INTERNAL FAILURE AND UPON THEM TELLING ME THAT THEY ALSO STATED THAT THE 2004 MAXIMA HAS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND BECAUSE OF THAT THEY REDESIGNED THE TRANSMISSION IN THE 2005 MODEL. MY CAR HAS 61,000 ON IT AND THIS HAPPENED AND NISSAN BASICALLY SAID TOUGH!!! THEY ARE AWARE OF AN ISSUE YET HAVE DONE NOTHING TO HELP. AS I FOUND THIS OUT I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND THEY ARE ALOT OF ISSUES WITH PEOPLE AND THE TRANSMISSION AND I THINK ENOUGH FOR AN INVESTIGATION BUT NOBODY HAS DONE ANYTHING. *TR

NISSAN MAXIMA SE 2004 TRANSMISSION JERKING FROM 2ND GEAR TO 3RD AND 4TH I BEEN READING A LOT OF FORUMS WITH SAME OR SIMILAR PROBLEMS. I HOPE U CAN HELP US TO RESOLVE THIS ISUE WITH NISSAN. MY WARRANTY IS EXPIRED.*CN

I BOUGHT MY CAR 4 MOTHS AGO, IS A NISSAN MAXIMA 2004 AND SINCE I DID I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND I FOUND OUT THOSE 2004 CARS 95% HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS I BEEN READING REVIEWS FROM CAR SURVEYS.COM AND EVERYBODY HAVE THE SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. PLEASE I NEED YOUR HELP WHAT WE CAN DO ABOUT IT, THANK YOU. *TR

TRANSMISSION ON MY VEHICLE SLIPS FREQUENTLY. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT AM ALWAYS TOLD, THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM AND IF IT CONTINUES TO BRING IT BACK. *TR

MY 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA IS NOW OVER 70,000 MILES AND THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING COMING OUT OF 1ST 2ND AND 3RD GEAR. I RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS OWNERS COMPLAINING OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

REPLACED TRANSMISSION TWICE AT 40,000 MILES, VEHICLE SHIFTED HARD FROM 1 TO 2ND. I HAVE 60,000 MILES NOW AND WONDER HOW LONG THIS TRANSMISSION IN GOING TO LAST. *TR

TRANSMISSION PROBLEM BETWEEN GEAR 1 & 2. I HAD TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION @ 70,000 MILES. TERRIBLE SLIPPAGE AND BUCKING. WOULDN'T ACCELERATE INTO GEAR IN A SAFE TIME FRAME. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE VEHICLE JERKS WHEN GOING INTO 1ST GEAR FROM 2ND AND VICE-VERSA. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS ISSUE IS ACTUALLY PRETTY COMMON BASED ON WHAT I'VE READ IN AUTOMOTIVE FORUMS ON THE INTERNET. I DON'T BELIEVE NISSAN HAS ADDRESSED OR FESSED UP TO THIS AS BEING A RECALL ISSUE. I'M STILL NOT SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT A MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WAS THE MOTOR MOUNTS. IF NOT THEN IT MUST BE A TRANSMISSION ISSUE. ANY HELP IN GETTING THIS PUSHED AS A RECALL WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU. *TR

TRANSMISSION JERKING. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED WITH 64,000 ON IT. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER ABOUT ONE MONTH. TOOK IT IN TO DEALER AND THEY FIX THAT PROBLEM. NINE MONTHS LATER THE CAR STARTS JERKING AT DIFFERENT TIMES WHEN I AM DRIVING NOW IT HAS STARTED DOING IT EVERY TIME I BRAKE. EVERYONE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR CAR. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS MODEL CAR. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA IN THE SUMMER OF JUNE 2007. THE CAR WAS USED, BUT IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. RECENTLY I NOTICED MY CAR BEGAN JERKING BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR ON MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND THE PROBLEM BEGAN GETTING WORSE. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT YESTERDAY. THEY TOLD ME MY FRONT ENGINE MOUNTS WERE BROKEN AND THAT MY WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THE PARTS, AND THAT IT WOULD BE AROUND $740.00 TO GET IT FIXED PLUS THE $116.00 DIAGNOSTICS FEE. I BEGAN READING ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH OTHER MAXIMA OWNER'S AND IT SEEMS MY PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON. IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT OCCURS SO OFTEN ON THE 2004 MAXIMA WHY DOESN'T NISSAN RECALL ALL OF THE NISSAN MAXIMAS AND GET THE PROBLEM FIXED. I UNDERSTAND THEY WILL LOSE MONEY, BUT ISN'T THE MAXIMA SUPPOSED TO BE THEIR TOP OF THE LINE SPORTS SEDAN. I GUESS SOMETHING REALLY BAD HAS TO HAPPEN TO SOMEONE BEFORE THEY WILL CONSIDER FIXING THE PROBLEM. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN IF THIS IS THE QUALITY OF CARS THEY ARE BUILDING. *TR
