Replaced Head Gaskets
Took my 2010 T&P in to the dealer to have new tires and rear brakes (36000).
Since the tires might be delayed until the next day, they gave me a free loaner. Around Noon they called and reported that they wanted to replace the head gaskets (under Nissan warranty). I did a search and did not fined anyone mentioning having the head gaskets replaced. Since I already had the free loaner they took an extra day and replaced both banks. The description indicated that the mechanic discovered fluid under the car and apparently something that indicated it was emanating from the head gasket seal. The car also has a lifetime power train warranty.

It is a known problem with some of the head gaskets from the early 7thgen maximas. The tech probably noticed the coolant smell and looked up at the back end of the motor and noticed the coolant leak. Actually, if I were you I'd be glad you found a quality dealership. There have been several horror stories on here about dealers not wanting to do warranty work despite obvious issues.
True...some Maximas have had issues with the head gaskets, including mine. That's good that they found that on the car.
The warranty on the trany is 120k miles or 10 years. That's for the 09 & 10 model years.
