Nissan Maxima Reviews

former Nissan fan December 14, 2010

poor performanc - lack of quality

Been driving Nissan Maxima's since 1985. Sometimes owned two at same time. Our 2008 is the end of the line. Nothing major but despit regular dealer maintenance a continuing run of small bumps that add up to poor dealer service and poor Nissan performance. The battery went at 11, 000 miles (two years) with no replacement allowance adjustment. On-going complaint about poor ride and tires losing air are in the record and at 17, 000 miles (30 months) two front tires replaced at full cost. Leather seats stained by unknown agent - no kids ride in this car - and not able to clean them. Even our key fobs needed to have the batteries replaced. The check engine soon light constantly goes on because of an emission failure - part replaced twice so far. Complaints to the dealer are useless, "original equipment not made to last"; meaning I need to spend big bucks to keep my car going. Nissan does not think I have a quality issue and our dealer does not think hitting us up for full price replacement and loss of confidence in the product is any concern of theirs. I do not expect to be buying a Nissan or any other brand from this dealer.

Mechanical Problems

I purchased a new Nissan Maxima in 2007 and two years later with 95, 000 Kilometers the air compressor needed to be replaced at a cost of nearly $2000 including the part, labor and taxes. The warranty expired at 60, 000 and the company refused to cover it even though it is a part that should not break down. Although the Maxima is a nice vehicle I would not recommend buying one and only buy a Nissan if you are willing to spend money on an extended warranty. We also had a 2004 Armada that has had many warranty issues. We are fortunate on that vehicle that we don't put much mileage on it otherwise it would have cost nearly as much for repairs over the years than it cost to purchase it. As much as the media tells us how bad North American cars are, we have had no problems with our 2005 Chevy Silverado and it came with a much better manfacturers warranty - which we have not needed. Interesting isn't it.
