2005 Nissan Maxima POWER TRAIN,ENGINE

WHEN BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE, TRANSMISSION SLIPPED. ISSUE WORSENED WHEN ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING RAPIDLY. FLUIDS CHANGED REGULARLY. PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT AT FIRST. HAS NOW BECOME RECURRING. UPON REVIEW, IT APPEARS TO BE WIDE SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE 2005 AND 2006 YEAR MODEL WITH THE AISIN RE5F22A 5 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. *TR

TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING, ESPECIALLY AT LOW SPEEDS AND WHEN PUTTING CAR INTO OR OUT OF REVERSE. WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS OUT OF DRIVE THE ENGINE REVS AND THERE IS A SUDDEN JERK. THE CAR ALSO JERKS WHENEVER SWITCHING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. THE TRANSMISSION FAILURES ARE BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. THE CAR HAS 70K+ MILES AND RESEARCH SHOWS THAT TRANSMISSION FAILURE IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR AT THIS MILEAGE. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS (JUST RIGHT OVER 100K MILES), I HAVE NOTICED MAJOR JERKING AND PULLING WHILE DRIVING OR SHIFTING GEARS. IT IS AN AUTOMATIC, BUT WHEN I START TO GO, IT TAKES IT A FEW SECONDS TO GET IN GEAR AND JERKS. I HAVE HEARD MANY OTHERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH 2004-2005 MODELS. ARE THERE ANY RECALLS AS OF YET? I HAVE ALWAYS HEARD GREAT THINGS ABOUT MAXIMAS AND DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION, ESPECIALLY THIS EARLY ON! PLEASE HELP! THANK YOU! *TR

1. TAKES ABOUT 5 SECONDS TO CLICK INTO GEAR AFTER THE SHIFT LEVER IS PUT IN "D" 2. VERY HARD JERKY SHIFTS BETWEEN 1ST TO 2ND AND 2ND TO 1ST AND ACCOMPANIED BY LOUD CLUNKING NOISE. 3. TRANSMISSION SLIPS OUT OF GEAR DURING REGULAR DRIVING ALLOWING THE ENGINE TO REV FREELY THEN JERKING BACK INTO GEAR WITH A LOUD CLUNK. THE IS FOLLOWED BY A BURNT OIL / ELECTRICAL TYPE SMELL THAT GETS INSIDE THE CAR AND EVIDENT OUTSIDE AFTER STOPPING. *TR
