2000 Nissan Maxima transmission complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 22 of 22, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Transmission required replacement.
The check engine light went on while on a trip. The codes indicated oxygen sensors on the front and rear banks. The car has 45,000 miles on it and this is the third time it has needed oxygen sensors replaced, each time at approximately 15,000 miles. This is a defective part, also each time they reflash the ECM "so it does not happen again", this is defective parts and nissan should extend the warranty on them. At $650 for the repair, it is a very expensive maintenance item.
While pulling into the driveway vehicle decelerated. Vehicle was driven at 15 MPH to a transmission specialist. Vehicle was at the transmission specialist for 2 weeks, and they could not determine the cause of the problem.
I continue to have slow or delayed shifting from first to second gear or from second to third gear, particularly at half throttle. It has been that was since I bought the car. The slow response and hesitation has resulted near stalling in the middle of intersections. No accidents, however, I am concerned.
I have a 2000 nissan maxima and there is a leak on the right and left side of my car and the nissan dealership is stating that it is something within my transmission and that the bearings ar worn and the axle is moving around too much. The cost is 1150.00 to 1400.00 my car is fairly new and I cannot understand why this is occurring. They are stating they have to remove the entire transmission to find out where the leak is coming from.
Transmission disengages from 4th gear without warning. Dt
Transmission has gone out twice, the first time it was rebuilt, and currently it is a problem again. Transmission has been rebuilt again for the 2nd time.*ak
Failed transmission after 6months-dealer rebuilt-experienced 2nd failure within 9mos.-dealer refused to accept responsibility and/or repair.
While driving transmission will not shift into gear. Consumer had to stop to allow transmission to shift again, and sometimes engine will stall without prior warning, consumer could step on brake pedal, but the engine will suddenly accelerate, it was impossible for consumer to keep control of vehicle.*ak
We are currently waiting for a # 6 coil for our 2000 maxima, this part is on back order from the manufacturer and there are no available parts in the u.s. Since this part is on hold for other customers at other dealerships in the area, it seems to me that this part is failing on a lot of new cars(under three years old) this part should be recalled. We've also experienced a failure with the transmission and since our car was still under warranty at the time, we had it fixed at the manufacturers expense. Instead of receiving a new one we received a "rebuilt" one. How do you have a "rebuilt" transmission on hand for a brand new car is a question I've never had answered from the maufacturer.
Additionally fuel leak from seal occurs when over filled with gas.
