CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2008 Maxima continues a very good model year (2007 is also good) with an extremely low complaint rate & no major defects. Beware of Maximas from 2009, & 2004-2006 though.
Nissan Maximas from 2004-2006 have a widespread transmission defect, but judging from our complaint data, Nissan fixed the problem starting with the 2007 model.
The 2009 Maxima has an expensive problem where the steering lock prevents the car from starting, & costs upwards of $1,000 to fix!
I went to the Nissan dealership back in Sept when this happened and talked to the service manager. All they said was that the paint was out of warranty. They wanted to sell me another car!!! This was the first new car I had ever bought and I was told how good Nissans were, Well, everyone can see what a bad paint job they gave on their Maxima. I love my car but it looks like it has a bald head.
Can you get me help??? Thank you, Peggy Avocato, phone 504-982-0042

I have seen more than a few black Maximas with this problem in the same spot/s. Nissan should give some sort of compensation on this problem.
