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 bought a used 2008 nissan maxima, nothing but problems it obviously was a lemon when i bought it. Had 60k miles used. Someone got rid of it becuase they knew about the issues, The first problem was the transmission had to be replaced and now the catalyic converter.....I HATE NISSANS
