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.

after 4 visits to svc dpt waiting for a replacement radio (1 reports)
The problem started 1 day after I purchased the car. The cd eject button keeps grinding like it wants to eject a cd when there is no cd in the system. This continues even when the car is off. I went to Nissan of Queens svc on 3 different occasions and they could not fix it. Eventhough I told them the problem continues when the car is off they still did nothing to resolve the problem. My car finally would not start because the battery went dead. They finally said they are ordering another radio. However to add insult to injury they damaged my display screen while trying to service the radio. I was told they will replace that also... I had my car only 2 weeks and it was at the dealers 4 times. WTF.. Stay tuned lets see if they keep their word.. I'm sure there will be some BS associated with this...
