2004 Nissan Maxima consumer reviews

Very roomy stylist with plenty of power affordable for any of you who are looking for comfort and luxury at a nice price

I wish this car had leather seats, Bluetooth stereo system, mud flaps, bigger arm rest for storage, better and more opinions for charging your phone. I think where the cigarette lighter is the stupidest place. Poor designing for Nissan, what I can say positive is I got good mone for my 2002 Honda Accord Ex, excellent loan payment, and Excelent salesmen, and excellent finance people at WoodHouse Nissan in Millard

This vehicle is sporty, nice interior, leather seats, sunroof, heated seats, and great gas saver. This nissan maxima is great for showing off or getting back and forth to work. On a sunny day why not let the sunroof back, and throw your sunglasses on. Those heated seats is great for them cold days to warm up.

I got this vehicle a while ago and handed it down to my son recently. He drives it everyday and has never had any unknown problems. The model I have is the SE with a lot of options checked off. It is a manual but a very good and easy one.

Nothing but problems, bought it new, and had to change alternator twice, Changed timing belt twice because of the tensioner is made out of plastic, windows problems, Engine got loud and at 125000 miles the transmission is acting up. And also so much smoke coming out of the exhaust. So sick of this car. I will never buy one again.

GREAT SIZA CAR AND I LOVE IT.RUNS GOOD AND GOOD GAS MILEAGE. IT WAS BOUGHT FROM A DEALER WE HAVE DONE BUSINESS WITH FOR THE PAST 9 YEARS OR MORE. THEY ARE WONDERFUL AND MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE FAMILY

First, we have owned 4 Nissan cars, 3 Nissan trucks, and the trucks were purchased from the family business when "retired." The current 2004 Nissan Maxima we purchased in 2004 with 3 miles on it, still in "plastic." It now has over 250,000 and the major issue was having to replace the control console on the Dual-Control A/C and a sensor/resistor. Cost about $550. Other than this, it has been routine service every 3000 miles. We use quality oil, oil filter each time, have replaced tires @ about 60,000 miles as needed , and a VERY expensive headlight. Fog lights have occasionally stopped working, then start again. Headliner along rear window top area has started to "unglue" but is still repairable with minimum effort & time if I'd just remember to do it when @ home. All of our Nissans have been wonderful vehicles. When the time comes, if we can afford a new Maxima, we will stick with what works. Good mileage and comfortable when traveling. The Bose radio system really can crank out the music, and the XM is used more than any other radio feature. We love our Nissans!

this add should not be on the net.I personally saw and drove this junker!! consumers be worned not a good dealer

I bought my 04 SE with 120k miles on it. Noticed the same trans problems a lot of other people have mentioned. Shifts really hard and jerks between gears during normal highway driving. Kinda scary when you're not expecting it. I haven't had it replaced it yet but it needs it. I'm now at 171k and it hasn't left me stranded yet. I did have the throttle position sensor changed but would definitely look somewhere else next time for a different car. I love the performance aspect and all of the options on this car (especially the heated steering wheel) but the transmission is a large component to have go bad.

I bought this case with 42k miles on it, excellent first owner, all service records provided. At around 60k, problems started, it will leak with it rains. Center console and inside door panel will be wet. The sliding sunroof will spontaneously open while driving, embarrassing with company in the car. Anyways that's small problems. At around 85k, the gear started shifting hesitantly from R to D or from P. Very subtle at first, then a few months after notice a huge losses of power and started giving a noticeable pause/lurch when driving and heard changes, you feel it more in lower gear. By this time I took it to the shop, had the engine mounts replaced, $300 after extended warranty. This was a fix for a month, then it started back, this time worse. The car cut off on my at a traffic light, it would cut off after driving it for a few minutes. This was a dangerous situation just trying to get home. Next day, took it to the shop. Thank God for that extended warranty. New transmission cost $5k plus other sensors. ,I paid only th deductible. One year later, exactly one year later, problems again with the acceleration and shifting in low gear. Parked the car immediately and brought to the shop the next day, this time some sensors btw tranny failed + got other little things looked at. This maxed out my extended warranty. So now I'm just sitting on thin ice, waiting to save up some money to get out of this car. And if you're wondering, I did all the recommended service etc err rd and my family only had nissan vehicles.
