CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2011 Nissan Maxima is a good reliable vehicle overall. There's a slight trend of transmission failure just before 100,000 miles, but not widespread enough to be a major concern. Beware of Maximas from 2009-2010, and 2004-2006 though.
The 2009-2010 Maxima has an expensive problem where the steering lock prevents the car from starting, & costs upwards of $1,000 to fix.
Nissan Maximas from 2004-2006 have a widespread transmission defect, but judging from our complaint data, Nissan fixed the transmission problem starting with the 2007 model.
My 2 children were in the rear seat of a 2011 Nissan Maxima while the car malfunctioned. There was a collision with a fixed object and once the vehicle initiated impact with the fixed object, the entire back seat became unlatched and the children were not able to be properly restrained by their seatbelts or car seats. ALL of the general public should have access to this information.
This vehicle is poorly designed and it's safety ratings are bogus. This car will not protect you or anyone in it if it is involved in an accident.
In conclusion, if you or anyone you love is driving around in one of these, let them know that they are not safe and anyone in the vehicle with them or around them is not safe. Get these cars off the road, they are dangerous.
