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 in atlanta, ga driving down union city road when I heard a loud explosion. I heard glass break and looked to see if my back windshield was broken. I pulled over onto a side street and got out of the car and realized that my sunroof exploded. There was not another car nor truck near me before the explosion so it was not a rock. The cloth divider between the inside of the car and the glass was not damaged nor was a rock or bullet found. I called my sister and she told me there was a dealer up the street and to go there. They told me they could not repair it and gave told be that alba glass repair could help me. I kept getting the run around so I called five star Nissan, in albany, ga, where I purchased the car. They told me that was not part of the warranty and I had to call the insurance company which I did. No one could explain the explosion. I checked online and this problem has occurred repeatedly with several models of Nissan.
