Hey guys I'm new here but I've been having the same transmission problems with my 04 maxima and even had the transmission rebuilt once before already but just found out that Nissan has extended their warranty on our cvt transmission here I got this from their web sit nissanassist.com to be exact
Nissan has extended the Nissan New Vehicle Limited Warranty for the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) to 10 years/120,000 miles (whichever occurs first) for CVT transmission repairs, replacement, and related towing on all 2003-2010 model year Nissan vehicles equipped with the CVT. The remainder of the powertrain warranty coverage for components other than the CVT transmission remains unchanged. All other warranty terms, limitations and conditions otherwise apply.
Please note that this is not a safety recall, and there are no safety issues relating to your Continuously Variable Transmission.
Hope it helps

A fix or extended warranty to the 10/100,000 would be excellent. Acura did it with their TL trans issues- I had a 2002 TL. They even installed a trans cooler free as part of their program and a free TSX loaner for the day. Look at Toyota who is always doing recalls now to fix their issues as well as many other auto makers, Benz, GM, Ford. Nissan doesn't do squat with any of their issues- they did do the rear subframe recall but nothing with the trans nor the shimmy nor rattling front suspension.

I have an 04' with almost 93,000 miles. (5 speed). I have not experienced any problems, however I have recently noticed on very rare occasions the engine will rev up for a second or two while driving approx 35mph, of course the tachometer jumps up for a second, then everything returns to normal. Is this the first sign of the dreaded transmission problem?
Thank you

Watch for the really dreaded R to D which may happen soon or take a little while. The car almost jumps when you do this, way nasty. 
At that point you pretty much have the issue.

I hate to say it, but it sounds like the 2-3 gear issue, this may be the beginning of the problem. Watch for the really dreaded R to D which may happen soon or take a little while. The car almost jumps when you do this, way nasty. At that point you pretty much have the issue.

I have the R to D jump but i was told it could be a cause of motor mounts. Within the next two weeks I will be replacing the motor mounts because two of them are broken and we shall see what happens

Update: I contacted the law firm for any updates and ws told by the lead attorney they are doing the research and some data gathering and should have an offical word in about a week. Understandable since the goal would be to hit Nissan with hard facts and numbers based on info I already provided including links to all these transmission problem threads so tell you friends if they have issues, post it to mark the time and date and get it on record!

I am starting to have the problems dammit! Car shifts very hard between 1st and 2nd, sometimes between 2nd and 3rd, tranny slips between a few gears, got stuck in 5th the other day, and now going from R to D is hitting hard, started today!!!
Just to make sure I get this right, the Transgo kit (http://www.transgo.com/SK-AW55.pdf) should fix these problems, right?
Oh and for the record, I have 110 000 km on the car (roughly 65 000 miles)

Dude, you are typing in English but I get the impression that English is not your first language. This potential class-action lawsuit is for the Maxima years 2004, 2005 and 2006. The Maximas from 2007 on are CVTs and are under warranty for 10 years or 100,000 miles.

Hey all. I also started having this issue recently. 05 max A/T, took it to a transmission shop and had 'em take a look. They came back with a complete tranny replacement to resolve the issue. Should I post the Diagnostic and Code they came back with? I'm wondering if I should also hold off on getting this fixed until there's a break in the case or not...

Guys I hope this issue makes it to Canada...I used to have a 2002 Maxima GLE which got totaled in an DUI accident involving an 80 year old man coming back from a Xmas party....I digress...the insurance paid for a new car...a 2004 SL Auto which was a total lemon and needed a new transmission after only 9,000 miles! Nissan and my dealer bought back the car from me 6 years ago almost to the day October 2004 and gave me a 2005 SE auto...after 96,000 kms or aprox 60K miles my transmission died back in May 2008 and finally was replaced for free. I have 55K kms or 35K miles on it at the moment and already I started to notice rough shifts in the cold AM up here in Montreal...so I called the dealer and had them change the transmission fluid this week this set me back over $100 (Can/US almost at par BTW). I guess I should to the transmission fix since my extended warranty which I purchased to 100K miles is ending Friday....
Good luck everyone on this an I will be checking this post from time to time...I really do believe that Nissan should do the transmission fix for free and extend the transmission warranty on our cars for 10 year.

IF a case is created... it will take a good deal of time to get started... and a lot more time to even get going before anything "breaks"

Received this reply today from the law firm! 
Chris, We had a good call this morning with another firm with whom we frequently collaborate. We think it looks promising and are going to consult with a transmission expert this week. Just want to keep you in the loop.

only if (that is a result is hopefully obtained) you could get nissan to do the shift kit. i'm thinking although an extended warranty is great... it will just replace it with the same tranny. so a new tranny every xx,xxx miles?
and what about those that baby our cars and it goes just after the extended warranty? doing fine at 71,000 miles. just like the CVT it will likely extend to 100,000 miles. i would be the one to have issues at 100,001 miles

On the same topic, I had my Maxima at the shop for 2 weeks for tranny rebuilt, drove the car for one week and still pretty much the same, just very slight improvement, but now I seem to also have a 3-4 jerk... unbelievable.
My Maxima is going back on Wednesday to the tranny shop, THANKS NISSAN!!! Hopefully for not too long, so tired of this issue

LowVybez2DeMax, I suggest you go to 5th Gen threads and start a post just like this one. This thread started just to test the waters and look what happened!
