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 believe it is a significant safety issue and horrible engineering when an owner cannot afford to replace a headlight because of a quote of $843 from the dealer. Bumper has to be removed to do job and not recommended to do yourself. Really? For ONE headlight? Won't buy a Nissan again...
