| First after buying this nissan maxima 2006, i noticed that my head light lamps needed to be changed every 14 months. i never had a car where i had to replace the head light lamps so often. both of my other cars (toyota and honda) have over 100k miles and we never had to change the lamps on those cars. next, the abs brakes are not working properly, really? after 70k miles? wow! later i found out that this is a common problem with this car. the abs appear to be running while the car is moving and on dry roads. finally, the transmission. why do i have a slipping transmission on a car with only 64k miles. after research, i found out that the problems that i'm having with this nissan maxima, hundreds of other owns are having the same problems. i always had honda and toyota cars and i decided to try something new in this maxima. i will never buy nissan again, i'm running back to honda and toyota!!! *tr | |||

| 2006 nissan maxima transmition keeps sliping and jerking in-between gears. there is a growling noise coming from the engine. there is a squeeking coming from the front driverside shock. took to nissan dealership to have it inspected and ended up having to have the transmission rebuilt and they couldnt reconstruct the noises from the shock and they couldnt identify the what was causing the noise from the engine. | |||

| In june of 2010 we started to notice condensation building up in the left driver side headlight. it got progressively worse but the leesburg fl nissan service department said to ignore it since it was very expensive ($1200) to replace the unit. then in feb of 2011 we noticed that the xenon bulb in that fixture had blown out. we don't do too much night driving so we don't know exactly when it blew, but it seems the excessive condensation contributed to the bulb's failure. aside from the expense of replacing the bulb and fixture, the headlight assembly condensation problem seems a safety issue (and a manufacturer defect) because of reduced visibility and the prospect of the xenon bulb failing prematurely. | |||
