Maxima

  • miles
I have a 2003 Maxima. The gears are jerking really bad between 1st & 2nd gear. This is not suppose to be happening. I've read so many complaints about these cars, why is there not a recall yet? when someone is seriously hurt maybe then a recall will be issued!

Maxima 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 54,000 miles
Automatic transmission failed at interval times. When taking vehicle to dealer, they claim everything except the transmission. The check engine light constantly came on. Consumer was to three different dealerships, and they all said that the codes were not matching.
