ok so when I put my Max in reverse and proceed to go, I can hear a thumping kinda sound every couple of seconds and almost felt at first like I had a flat tire but thats not the case. So I kept going back and forth in my drive way and it ONLY does it in reverse. Again, kinda a thump and it sounds like its coming from the passenger front side and at times almost feel it under the drivers seat. If anyone can help me or had similar issue!

 

So no one's Maxima has encountered this problem?? Please help me someone, just dont want to get screwed and the dealership tell me its a bigger problem than it is.

 

Maybe CV joint is going bad? You could also check to see if anything is rubbing on the tires, like the wheel well liners.

 

Motor or tranny mount possibly.

 

Yea I know my description is not that great but she says its not doing it anymore. I have a 2010 with about 27k miles on it. Tranny already? Everything is covered under warranty right on something like this?

 

The mount probably won't be covered under the tranny warranty but your powertrain warranty should pick up the tab. If its the CVT itself it will be covered by Nissan's awesome CVT warranty for 09 and 10 Maximas

 

thanks bud! I really appreciate it. It scared me but my wife is saying she hasnt felt it. Hopefully I can wait to trade it in for a 15!

 

I think I may have the same issue. It's not a pronounced sound but you don't notice it. It's only in reverse and if you put the windows down and are in a quiet lot, it seems to come from under the car and toward the middle. It's almost like the sound of your knee popping but a deeper sound. I hear it everyday when I leave for work. It started a month ago. I really am clueless. It hasn't affected anything however.
