NHTSA Complaint #10445272 — 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA

I PURCHASED A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA IN FEBRUARY 2011..WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR IT APPEARED TO BE IN GOOD RUNNING CONDITION..THERE WERE A FEW VISIBLE PROBLEMS SUCH AS THE HEADLIGHTS,RUNNING LIGHT,POWER SEATS, OR WINDOWS WEREN'T WORKING PROPERLY..THAT PROBLEM WAS FIXED AND THE OWNER AGREED TO FIX THE BRAKES AND THE REMAINDER OF THE PROBLEMS HOWEVER ALMOST A YEAR LATER MY ANTI BRAKE LIGHT IS STILL ON & THE DEALERSHIP HAVE NOT MADE ANY ATTEMPT TO FIX MY CAR. 4MONTHS AFTER HAVING THE CAR THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING AND THE ODOMETER,THE GAS GAUGE GOES BACK & FORTH,THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON AND THE CAR JERKS WHILE DRIVING AND SOMETIMES WHEN SHIFTING THE CAR OUT OF DRIVE INTO REVERSE IT JERKS HARD. I HAVE QUITE A FEW FRIENDS WHO HAVE MAXIMA'S ALSO AND HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR CARS..IT'S OBVIOUS IT'S A DEFECT WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS,SPEED GAUGE & SO MANY OTHER DEFECTS WITH THESE CARS. SOMEWHERE THERE HAS TO BE SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP MYSELF AS WELL AS OTHERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THESE PROBLEMS. I HAVE READ FAR TOO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE PARTICULAR CARS. THE COST TO REPAIR THESE CARS ARE EXPENSIVE & NOT TO MENTION THE COST TO HAVE YOUR TRANSMISSION REPLACED & ON TOP OF ALL THAT YOU ARE STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING YOUR CAR NOTE. HOPEFULLY SOON THERE WILL BE A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!! *TR
