Quality Issues
2016 Platinum:
1) I've noticed that after 2500 miles the driver seat bladder seems to have an air bubble. Whenever I shift in the seat, it feels like there's a momentary air pocket in the mid-to-upper seat back and I feel a slight shift in pressure - like sitting on an inflatable raft.
2) Does anyone agree that the seat ventilation fans are pretty noisy? When I turn of the HVAC but keep the seat ventilation on, its pretty pronounced. I never noticed this in my 7th Gen Max or any the 5 Infinti products I owned.
3) when driving a consistent speed of 25mph or less, the transmission seems to be working overtime hunting for the right gear.

The seat fan has alway been noisy IMO. This was also the case in my 7th gen too though. I usually keep it on the lowest setting and I don't notice the sound at all.
It's funny you mentioned "Quality" though, because I was just moving my sun visor yesterday and noticed it feels "cheaper" quality than what was in my 7th gen. Maybe it's the way it moves, or the fact it feels thinner, I don't know. Anyone else notice this?

I find that the air conditioner is very loud and sounds as if my car wants to cut off or idles when turned on max air.
I personally think that nissan scaled back and some interior features such as the sun visor, hand rails above the passengers seats, the sound system and sun roof do not seem to be of the same quality as the 7th generation.

This was about the only complaint Motor Week had when testing the 2016 Maxima. They said the CVT tended to change ratios in a 'searching' manner when driving at low speeds.

Loud HVAC
YES! I've found myself turning off the seat HVAC off just to quiet the cabin a bit. I'm glad I'm not the only one that found this to be REALLY loud!

Nissan must have grabbed some interior/underhood trim and items out of the Altima parts bins, sun visors being one of the one. I'm 6 4" and they're pretty useless. Having owned a 2013 Altima SL, the first time I washed and went through the 2016 Maxima was like deja vu all over again.

I've noticed that the pano roof trim lifts and gets caught outside, after the roof is closed. Having a piece of rubber trim sticking up out of the roof of a brand new car is NOT A GOOD LOOK.
Also having problems with the side mirrors no longer tilting downward when in reverse.
I'm just making a list and taking it back in at the 30-day mark. FRUSTRATING!
