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!

Purchased 2008 Maxima as 2nd owner when car was 6 months old with approx. 20K miles. Recently while having tired changed, noticed extreme rust on underside of the passenger front seat. In researching the internet, this appears to be a common problem with Maximas. This car has been babied since I have owned it, driving minimum miles. What is Nissan doing to address this problem?
