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 have had my 2008 nissan for 2yrs and i already have to replace the transmission because the problem is internal...which i think is bullshit the damn car book value is 1925.00 its gonna cost me over 5.000.00 to have it fix..if you ask me nissan aint fix sh*t with these transmission issues..said part it only has 114000 mile on it..when i bought it which im still doing payments on it it only some where around 89000 miles on it...i shouldnt need a brand new transmission thats worth more then the damn car....just sad really....
