A little over 12k now bought brand new.

1. Recent recall fixed for brakes.
2. Whole nav/audio replaced from bad map update.
3. Steering wheel replaced from creaking.
4. Clock spring replaced which was unnecessary they thought that was the cause of the creaking initially.
5. Front radar sensor replaced.
6. Drivers side seat replaced do to faulty motor.
7. Two alignments needed since steering wheel was replaced. They got it right this time recently.
8. Driver side seat replacement came loose. They retorque all the bolts again and has been fine since.
9. Drivers side door seal replaced from tearing by itself.

Despite this. I still enjoy the car and like it. Just disappointed to have had those issues and did not expect them.

2016 Maxima Platinum, 43k miles.
Very reliable, problems listed below.
1. Randomly exploding sunroof while under warranty, Nissan repaired.
2. Seat memory doesn’t work on switches, but does work with keys. Nissan replaced the module once, still defective.
3. Brakes. These cars were clearly under-equipped in the brake department. Finally put a more performance set on for $400 (front pads and rotors)
4. Remote start. Occasionally fails to start. (It’s also very picky, all doors must be closed completely, neither of the keys may be in the vehicle)
5. Start lag. RARELY it struggles to start, but will start and resume normal starting next time.
6. Had a random transmission slip yesterday under heavy acceleration. Never happened before and hasn’t happened again, I’ll keep an eye on it.
7. I’ve also occasionally had the XM lockout issue. On start it will be stuck on a channel, no channel icons, unable to change channel.

btw brake shake has been there always. Under critical conditions it will shake so much the whole car is like ��

I hear ya. It’s not like all of that happened at once. Just over time. New car kinks eh lol. On the other hand our last 5 cars happened to be Honda Accords. All bought brand new with zero issues. Never had to take them in for any warranty work. Previous car was bought brand new 2015 Chevrolet Impala 2LTZ. With in first 200 miles had an electrical problem. Lost all electronics with nav unit instrument cluster etc. That was fixed. Then shortly after the electronic parking brake was failing. It would stick off and on. They had to replace the computer module that controlled it.

This why I was looking at the Accord or Avalon. But, I did not like the Accord Touring 2.0t on a test run. Jerky transmission and felt cheap inside. Sat in a loaded Avalon Touring and did not even get past that to test drive. It felt and looked so cheap inside for the money. I tell you the Maxima is the best kept secret when you start cross shopping.

I just wish the cabin space was better like those other cars. Maxima is smaller inside but the comfort is incredible. I hear the new Altima is great for comfort as well and more room. But, who wants to step down to a Altima when you have a Maxima.

I too was wondering the same OP. So far, approaching my 3rd oil change at 15K. The only issues thus far have been replacing both side c-pillar molding strips. Other than that, this thing runs and drives great.

Did you mean you replaced your CVT, or was it just the CVT fluid???
