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.

Every time I put my foot on the gas, you hear a wire burning sound. The wire issue prevent me from accelerating, and the heating/cooling of my seats don't work.
When I connect my phone to the Bluetooth, there's interference on a call. The screen goes out on dash. Once I turned the car off, you can smell that there's a wire burning. It's becoming more trouble than it's actually worth!
