2004 Nissan MAXIMA Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	942542
Internal NHTSA #	10476920

File date	01/07/12
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	It started with a delay from reverse to 1st, or vice-versa, followed by a hard "thud" as the car got into gear. Then, every time the car warmed up, the transmission would slip while switching gears. Now, the car will only operate in reverse and 5th gear. So it's like driving a lawn mower. I see that hundreds of others have had this same problem and reported it on-line. Although my car was at the dealership just this weekend, and they mentioned nothing about a history with this model/year.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
