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.
I was involved in a car accident with a Nissan Maxima 2011. The rear left passenger side air bag did not deploy during a car accident. It was defective. This was a MV roll over accident and resulted in major damages. All of the Public is entitled to this information. Do not put your kids or anyone else's kids in this vehicle.
