I have a 2016 Nissan Maxima that had an oil change approximately 4 weeks ago. I took it in for a recall and was told that there was white smoke coming from the exhaust. After they diagnosed the issue I was told there was sludge in the engine, remember the oil was changed 4 weeks ago. Now I am being told I need a new engine, the car has 52,000 miles on it. I will never buy another Nissan as long as I live.

The Maxima is a great car. I only have 660 miles on my Maxima SL, and already love it. It is a great value considering the equipment included. The SL is so well equipped, that there are no option packages. Everything that is optional are individual items. The fit and finish is something you would expect to see in a Lexus, Acura, Cadillac, etc. If I were to say anything negative, I would say the Maxima never quite lived up to the 4DSC label, and the new 2016 is no exception. Despite this, the car is fast (well composed at high speeds), handles very well, and is a great driving experience. I have had my Maxima on two road trips, and hoped neither would come to an end.

After 2 weeks the 2016 is miles ahead of the previous version. Styling, comfort, tech...it has it all. Would not really call it a sports car as there is body lean and it is a big car..But it can really go and if your really buying a sports car are you buying a 4 door...maybe the Porsche for 90K. As far as the CVT, unless your a total car enthusiast you will never know the difference...until you check your gas mileage. My first highway trip of 240 miles I got 33.7MPG. For a car this size...wow. Seats are very comfortable....my only complaint about the car...the passenger seat should have 8 way adjustments...for a car that cost 42k? The controls are easy to read and easy to navigate, the stereo is miles better than the old Maxima, safety additions...blind spot monitor, predictive braking and parking sonar are all a big plus. The fit and finish are really nice, way better than previous version. The ride (while not a Mercedes S550) is extremely quiet and comfortable. The quilted seats, hand stitched dashboard, diamond patterned wood trim, panoramic roof, heated and cooled seats, flat bottom Heated steering wheel; this all comes together in a car that is 1000's less than you could spend somewhere else. Obviously beauty is in the eye of the beholder...but this car looks great and drives even better. It is not the perfect car, but Nissan deals and you won't find more bang for your buck anywhere. Unless you need to pull up with a nameplate to impress people, this car does it all without the big price....Do yourself a favor and if your looking for a FUN SEDAN...at least test drive the new Maxima, you will not be sorry!!!

I bought this car Dec 27 2015. In 2017 I need to replace a tie rod on the front passenger side of the vehicle. Nissan did replace this because it was under warranty. When I had the tie rod replaced i told them about it and they said nothing was wrong. Last year 2018 I started to feel my car lose power and start jerking while accelerating between 60-80 MPH. I took it to Nissan Feb 2019 they said you need a new transmission. 1 day later they said oh your car is done! All they had to do was replace the Valve Kit. I said are you sure? She said yes. As i am pulling out of the dealership at low speeds NO Acceleration at all and jerking. I said let me give it a week to see it the car needs to adjust. The rep called me 1 day later and asked how it was i explain to her the issue. She said wait a week. So I did, the car is making a horrible noise that was not there when i took it in and still jerking. The rep told me looks like we are going to replace the transmission. Which they should have done from the beginning. IT is now 2/22/2019 and my car is still in the shop. Nissan is going to do it because its under warranty but i think its horrible that this is going on. I have had a 1998 Nissan Maxima, 2001 Nissan Altima, 2007 Nissan Altima, 2009 Nissan Maxima with no issues. So I buy a BRAND NEW car with 5 miles on it and this happens. SMH. Nissan needs help or needs to recall these transmissions.
