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!
The tires on this car is crap. Second Maxima lease which will also be my LAST.
First Maxima 2004 - when thru 7 tires in 3 years.
2nd Maxima - replaced all 4 tires in less than 2 years and under 40km - that is crazy. The low tire light is always on. Always. The tires on this car has cause me more grief and $ that I will NEVER buy another Maxima EVER AGAIN!!!!!!
Beware - if you like spending a lot of cash on tires, then you will ove the Maxima. And yes, I have tried different tires. The low profile tires on this car is a disaster. Don't buy a Maxima!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
