2005 Nissan Maxima Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

95% of the reviews given below must be from ppl that work for nissan or from ppl nissan has paid to write a good review about the pile of s#it cars that they have been putting out they have all kinds of problems with there wiring, the ECM, PCM, TCM, BCM, ABS, THE DRIVETRAIN, CAM sensor go bad all time and nissan charges $130.00 for one and$80-$90 for the other one cars now a day's are a joke they needto get rid of this emission bullshit and go back to the carburator and an actual wire gas pedal to help with all these d**n sensors that fail like crazy and cost a ton of money to buy when you know it onlycost these car manufacturers probably 2-3 dollars at most to make the d**n things every year they add more and more sensors, add more plastic and less metal which means its costing them less and less every year to make these cars and yet the price to buy one keeps going up and up yet your getting a more unreliable car that will more than likely not make it past 80,000 miles without have some type of major mechanical issue that will cost you at least a few thousand dollars to get fixed back in the day of the carbonated/ naturally aspirated cars they would at least go 150-200,000 if not more miles before you would even have to change your water pump and that was about the most expensive thing that would go wrong cost you about 30 bucks plus tut he cost of a few gaskets and a timing belt or chain and a little know how to fix it now in this day and age the actually go out of their way to engineer it in ways that make it more difficult if not impossible for your average person that doesn't have the special tools and diagnostic computer to be able to fix it just so they can take more of your hard earned money when you have to take it back to them to get it fixed these days are full of greedy a*s ppl that should be taken out and hanged for how they go around and con pple out of their money for some pile of c**p that I's designed to fail so you have to take it back to have em fix it or buy a new one just so they can fatten their bank account their day will come through I surprised that no one has went out shooting up the car dealers and manufactures hell they might as well be breaking into your house and robbing you every night and getting away with it. Cause that's exactly what they are doing and then the just bank on ppl that don't have the knowledge of mechanics and the ppl that just don't pay attention enough to see that they are some of the biggest crooks out there and they get away with it every day that is until somebody has enough of this united states corp. Bullshit and crooked asso called elite society MFer's and starts unleashing the hell that they brought apon themselves for being the bunch of giant d****e bags that they really are and just starts taking these bastards down by whatever means need be and starts to make an actual place where ppl help one another out instead of being like it is today where a bunch of money hungry ppl that go around doing worse s**t than most criminals in prison have done are out running this country are doing now our gov is a bunch of low life pieces of s**t and so are these car manufactures I hope they all die a slow, painful,and agonizing death and rot in hell for the s**t they have turned this country into take their money away and they would be able to survive a week I guarantee it pretty andwhen someone that has nothing will give you a helping hand before these rich greedy assholes would even let the thought of helping someone even cross their mind but they are the ones that have the most to lose if you look at it that way you can take a portion means money and it ain't gonna slow him down much but if you take away a rich man's money you might as well of taken that son of a bitchessence life cause they wouldn't know the first thing to do with their all mighty dollars and that's just my opinion on that matter don't be a fool and buy a nissan they are junk vehicles their is a reason they have so many lawsuits against them right now.

All sorts of wringing issues they are a pain inthe as$ to work on the timming tensioner pushes on a piece of plastic which will eventually break and fall down and then if you are lucky it won't bend the valves or grenade your engine then on top of that you either have to pay an arm and two legs to get it fixed or fix it yourself like I had to in the middle of winter of all times nissan did a very poor job on the designing of these cars and they know all about the issues and still continued to make and sell these cars i hope they get what'scoming to them for being such a dishonest and money hungry manufacturer you pay $30,000.00 dollars for something you would think it would last more than a year and you have to fight with them anytime you try and get anything on your warranty. I'm very displeased. Nissan used to make good cars not after they merged with Renaultthen on top of that you either have to pay an arm and two legs to get it fixed or fix it yourself like I had to in the middle of winter of all times

My car tail pipes blow tons of exhaustion fumes out when I crank it. The rear view mirrors close up while driving after making sure they were out correctly before driving. It sometimes quits running while I am driving. The engine is going bad. I have been told not to put anymore money into the car. These cars seem to not have longevity. My car has cream of the crop with all the extras. But if it does not run those are useless.

I wish this car was solar-powered. I do like that it has good fuel economy and still has a cassette player. I like its power. I don't like how long it takes to stop.

I wish it had Bluetooth I wish it was a SUV I wish it had a backup camera

It has a lot of mechanical issues and all of the electrical items are broken or breaking. The transmission is going out for the 3rd time.

The transmission is shot. It's not safe to drive anymore. Nissan actually has plenty of complaints about their transmission quality.

Old, costly to repair. Gas consumption is way too high and it breaks down often. The repair cost is a lot of money more than the car is worth.
