1997 Nissan Maxima GXE from North America - Comments
What things have gone wrong with the car? General comments? Don't bother with the automatic. The 97 with the 5 speed is nearly 2 seconds quicker to 60, and pulls hard till 135mph.

2005 Nissan Maxima SE review from North America

Actually, Infiniti is Nissan's premium brand. The vehicles are better quality because they are all made in Japan unlike the Maxima and Altima, which are both manufactured in Smyrna, TN.

2004 Chrysler Sebring Sedan LE from United Arab Emirates - Comments
None at all. But only 5000 on the car so its early. Decided to move up to a larger car (from a Skoda Octavia). Looked through a bunch of options in this price range from Chevrolet Epica (Engine too small), Toyota Camry (too boring), Nissan Maxima (too common), Mitsubishi Magna (feels cheap).

I have owned my 2004 Maxima since it was new. At around 65,000 miles the transmission starting slipping and gives a severe jerk between 1st and 2nd gears, mostly after the car has warmed up sufficiently.

What things have gone wrong with the car? General comments? We are all having the same problems with our 2004 Nissan Maxima .. This is caused by a defective valve body assembly that Nissan is yet to recall.

2005 Nissan Maxima SL from North America - Comments
I have a 2005 Maxima and as I read these comments, I've realized that I'm experiencing the same probs. Shifting from 1st to 2nd gear really hard, but not all of the time. Sometimes are worse than others. I haven't taken it to the dealer yet but I plan on it very soon. This should be a recall...

2004 Nissan Maxima review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car? My transmission is going out, and I have 106K miles on my car. I thought Nissan made good cars.. boy was I wrong. I called Nissan and they would not do anything about it. I have the same problems that everyone else is having (jerking b/w 1st and 2nd gear).

2005 Nissan Maxima SE review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car? I bought a used 2005 Maxima last year and it had 78000 miles. After the first week I ended taking the car back because it was jerking. Long story short, I have filed a complaint to NHTSA, which assists people who have major complaints with their car.

1997 Nissan Maxima SE or GLE, unsure from North America - Comments
Just like you guys! I have flick the key a couple times to get the starter to operate. Nothing to me. Evidently the CD thing is not an issue for me. I have a very nice new stereo that plays my CDs mp3/wmas and has an SD card and USB input!

2005 Nissan Maxima SL from North America - Comments
I have a 2005 Nissan Maxima with 78,000 miles. As many people have reported, I am also having transmission problems. The car is currently in the shop so that the transmission can be rebuilt at a cost over $2000. I am disappointed with this vehicle and will never buy Nissan again.

1996 Nissan Maxima GLE from North America - Comments
I have probably spent more on car repairs than payments since I bought my car 17 months ago. I have had the alternator, starter, and O2 sensors replaced twice.

2004 Nissan Maxima SE from North America - Comments
I have 125,000 miles on Nissan Maxima 2004 and have never had any problems with the car. I change the oil every 5,000 miles, the transmission fluid every 30,000 miles, radiator flush every two years. Changed the belts twice. The ONLY issue I have is the freakin' headlights.

1994 Nissan Maxima GXE review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car? Lots of shaking upon acceleration - I think the struts needed to be replaced, but I never did it. Rear brakes made a whining sound as you braked and were just about to come to a complete stop.

2004 Nissan Maxima SE from North America - Comments
ATTENTION. So I posted my complaint on carsurvey about 6 - 9 months ago, just like everyone has that same transmission problem. I own a 04 Maxima that I purchsed in Sept of 05, with 25K miles, but now it has 90K. I started to have the problems around the 60K miles mark.

2003 Nissan Maxima SE review from North America
Transmission problems started at 96000 miles. Nice car. I loved Nissan Maximas until now. My 2004 Maxima is no different. It hesitates after you put the car in D or R, it jerks hard, and shifts hard from 1st to 2nd, and slips real bad in a turn.

2001 Nissan Maxima GLE from North America - Comments
First, let me say that I am 47, and do not ever abuse my cars. I bought a 2001 Maxima GLE new with extended warranty. Got more than my money's worth with that warranty because of the constant repairs. Got sick of it and and finally traded for a reliable Toyota.

This car still puts a smile on my face. If you punch the gas, you will sink into the seat as the world flies by! I will never buy any other car other than a Nissan Maxima. It handles like a dream and is as fast as any other sedan. ...

2003 Nissan Maxima SE Review - Carsurvey.org
Our cars put 255ft lbs of torque to the flywheel. This transmission's maximum torque rating is 245ft lbs of torque. This is a complete Frankenstein disaster that was set to fail. This issue is very dangerous. ...
