2006 Nissan Maxima Problems Please Help
As Im finding out that my problems with this car is common. I would have never brought this car. This is my second nissan maxima. Loved the last one. Now I'm currently experiencing revving of the engine at times that it honestly should not rev up to 5000 rpms. It's also has a lot of jerking and does not shift well either. No are no Automatic transmission light or check engine light on. Basically I'm trying to see what everyone else has done to have this fixed or any suggestions on what I should do?

Sounds like the transmission. Same thing happened to my '04 Maxima which was/is notorious for transmission problems. Had to have my trans completely rebuit! If you google it you will find out a lot about transmission problems with the '04-'06 Maxima.
Given the number of transmission complaints, i'm shocked there has never been any kind of recall because of this ... But then again, that may be due to it being a mechanical problem instead of a safety issue?? Hell, who knows!

What craziness are you talking about man? Be more specific when you say these cars have common issues. The VQ35DE has 2 small issues which is normal for older engines which is oil burning and the tensioners, other than that these engines are strong. Now the tranny issues is only common on the 5spd automatic, not the 4spd and the 6spd manual. Just like every other case when someone (not saying the OP) just in general neglect the oil the tensioners will rattle faster than the norm.

Low oil causes knocking or rattling sounds. Also "spurt" revs issue sounds like a Camshaft Position Sensor issue, which could cause both issues. Will also cause horrible gas mileage. Also should check that your spark plugs where done correctly.
I would do this.
1. Check oil
2. Check that spark plugs are firing<--- They have a neat lightup tool for this at pretty much every store with parts. Even Walmart
3. Go to Autozone or Oriley's Auto Parts and get them to scan your car for codes. Post them online so we can help you
4. If this doesn't help, take it to someone reliable to look at. Most noises can be easily diagnosed.
