CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2012 Nissan Maxima is a very good reliable vehicle, continuing a stretch of good model years from 2010. Beware of Maximas from 2009, and 2004-2006 though.
The 2009 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.
For the 2012 Maxima, so far so good!

I have nothing bad to say about this car (for now...) except for the very uncomfortable head rest. Just like it is mention by another user, when you rest your head (hey head rest are not called head rest for nothing) you feel something poking in your upper back.
I didn't bring this up to the dealership yet, but I will definitively do, now that I know I'm not the only one with the annoying problem.
