Maxima 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 65,000 miles
My 2004 Nissan Maxima exp transmission problems @ 65K replaced out of warranty since then the car has had (4) front motor mounts (1) transmission mount.(1)rack and pinion replaced, (1) right front axle replaced. Struts are now bad! wheel bearings replaced, oil seals replaced and the front end makes noise like something big is loose. Over $12,000 dollars into vehicle last year alone" when the car came back with the new trans it still was not right ? I notified the dealer and they said they could not find anything? I chose not to pay @ last minute to bring to there attention and I was sent to collections? I am still paying the $3,997 plus $1,500 fine for isf the vehicle is on its 2nd transmission and its gone bad now as well" Nissan did replace the right axle @no/charge that was all.

Very bad steering wheel shimmy in 2004 Nissan Maxima. This problem has been attempted to be fixed by buying new tires, changing the wheels, putting on new rotors, rotating and balancing the tires, and tightening the steering rack. The Nissan dealership also replaced all the lugs saying they were the wrong kind when in fact they installed the wrong ones.
