Filed Nov 12, 2019 · Electrical, Transmission · 112,337 miles · PA

My car only has 112337 mile and needed to replace the transmission , now at 112954 have to replace the ABS control module . The transmission was hard shifting/ jerking when you get to about 30-35 MPH . So it cost almost 4,000.00 to fix and the the speedometer and odometer quit working after 500 miles with new transmission and took the car to electrical shop to find out I now have to replace the ABS control module and after all the money put in this car I don't think it is worth fixing the ABS considering I just bought the car in oct. 2018 and thought I got a great car and alredy have enough money put in it and could never sell it for the money I have in it nissan should be fixing these issues not me considering all the complaints on these cars with the same problems at the same mileage

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.

The transmission on my 2005 nissan/maxima is hard shifting when engine/transmissionis is hot, delaying take off and kicking extremely bad when picking up speed and the automatic transmission shifts gears. Two motor mount are already broken as a result of this problem. Nissan dealer recommended replace transmission. A transmission specialized shop inspected and tested the transmission for second opinion and did no find problem in the transmission, other than 2 bad sensors. Sensors was replaced and 6 months later the problem started again. *interior sunvisor lightning cover broken in both sides, driver's and passenger. *cd player not working, not playing. *original chrome wheels are corroded, breaking the seal on two of the tires causing pressure to lower and makes tire go flat in less than a week, if not attended soon.

I was complaining of the car jumping when changing gears, mechanic found that the motor mount was cracked. Replaced it, some improvement for short period but now car is jumping, hesitation between gears, rough shifting, and diminished acceleration. I did not go to the dealer as my warranty is expired. This is my first maxima and I will never purchase another. Now told that I'll need a new transmission. Not happy.

Taking off car jerks real bad between 1st & 2nd gear, then when I push down on gas sometimes it doesn't want to move. Slowing down car kicks & jerks when down shifting. Now it's at the point where the car stalls when switching gears. Putting the car from park to drive it hesitates about 5 to 7 sec and makes a loud sound when it jerks. Transmission slips out of gear under 20m.p.h. Causing engine to rev up to 4rpm and sometimes 5rpm. This issue is happening whether I in motion on a street or highway, stationary getting ready to put the car in gear, etc. I am really afraid that I am going to have an accident or something. I took the car to a mechanic and he says I need a new transmission.

Transmission failure, check engine light comes on, car jerks into gears, RPM's accelerate when driving in first gears. Per nissan dealer they said it needed new mounts and a new transmission, I should trade it in they said :[ I have maintained all oil changes and have kept up my service. They are not accepting any responsibility. Need help please, I can not afford a new transmission, I can not afford 5 years of car payments as well.

Transmission slippage in the lowest gears. When the car warms up after a 10 mile drive it starts slipping. When I try to stop at a traffic light or when I try to accelerate from a complete stop the car jerks off in the lower gears. I came to know online that this is a common issue across nissan. I would appreciate any helpful steps in fixing the issue. My current value is around $5000 I hate to spend nearly $3500 for a new transmission on the vehicle. I'm sure my car will run for another 30 - 40,000 miles if this is fixed.
