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.

service engine soon light-mass air flow sensor keeps coming

This should be a recall problem... The service engine light does not go away. I have to go to Nissan to reprogramming the Engine Control Module (ECM) to repair the problem.Will go this week and this should fix the annoying problem on my screen.
