2009 Maxima Problems

Re: loss of power [lsu50]

I was just writing about my 2008 Nissan Maximas transmission. The car would not accelerate after 60 mph. It did not change gears. Once I stopped the car it completely "went dead". I had bought the car used; However it was one day old for me. It has been towed back to Nissan. I am seriously considering a refund and purchasing for the same price an Altima. I had zero problems ... Read More...

2008 Maxima Transmission Problem

Written by: nomoredodge1 on Nov 01, 2009 07:50 PM

I have heard nothing, but excellent reviews on the Nissan Maxima. I had a 2004 Nissan Altima and never had a problem with the Altima other than changing the fuses. I could not afford the newer model Maxima; However I was able to purchase a 2008 Altima at 23,000. The next day the transmission failed and the car was towed back to Nissan. Any suggestions? :( Read More...

Congratulations on your purchase! I've had mine since November, and after 7500 miles I still absolutely love the car. I have had zero problems, and it is fast, comfortable, and beautiful with all the cutting edge electronics. I really love the air conditioned driver's seat, and the voice activated Navi works great (unlike the Navi in my wife's 2008 Highlander ... Read More...

Why TL vs Maxima?

Written by: smarty666 on Jul 07, 2009 05:27 PM

I didn't realize my comparison between the 2009 maxima and 2009 TL exterior appearance would generate such discussion. I simply was just comparing the exterior appearance and changes. The TL was change so drastically for 2009 that I feel the exterior has become ugly looking. That is my opinion but I have read many professional opinions who agree with me. I can ... Read More...

Black on Black Maximas are very rare finds....then again, I live in the nice warm south where such a color combination is NOT in high demand. For example, the last of the 2008 Acura TLs to leave the lot were all black on black. A general "tip" on purchase prices for Nissans...I often look at the Carmax New Car section (dealer in Maryland) to get a "ballpark" on car costs. ... Read More...
