I have a 2006 Nissan Maxima, bought brand new fully loaded car in early 2006. After 80,000 miles on it, the car started jerking on me. Had transmission fluid changed but it didnt help. Recently came to know that transmission needs to be replaced, a $5000 expense. The car starts jerking when it is hot or have been driven in city for atleast 15-20 mins. The shifting of gears is difficult. It has stopped on me many times while driving, a high risk when I am on highways. When merging on highway, the increase in speed takes longer than usual, so makes it very difficult to merge. Pls recall this, because it is not safe to drive and lot of people are experiencing this.

2006 Nissan Maxima transmission keeps slipping and jerking in-between gears. There is a growling noise coming from the engine. There is a squeaking coming from the front driverside shock. Took to Nissan dealership to have it inspected and ended up having to have the transmission rebuilt and they couldn't "reconstruct the noises from the shock" and they couldn't identify the what was causing the noise from the engine.

On Thursday, May 20th our 2006 Nissan Maxima quit running. The oil light came on as I was driving at approximately 75mph on a freeway overpass. Within 60 seconds of the light coming on the engine starting making a horrible noise. I was able to clear the freeway before it quit running. In the car were me (the driver), my husband (front passenger seat) and our 8 month old niece (strapped in a rear facing carseat). Car was eventually towed to a Nissan dealer where they state they believe the oil pump is defective. Car has approximately 70,000 miles and is out of warranty. No previous engine issues or repairs have been noticed. At this point, Nissan is not taking responsibility for the engine failure.
