#39 of 48 LOW MPG by aishad Oct 23, 2009 (7:10 am)
Can anyone tell me what the break in period for the Maxima 09 is? I've had my car for almost 3 months, since August 3. I currently have 1,510 miles on the car and I'm at 12.9 mpg... I called Nissan and they said it would fluctuate, but there's no fluctuation just a steady decline. I live in NYC... so I'm going off the 19 city miles. I know its a new car, but is it normal for the mpg to be soo low?? Replies to this message: ahossa1 (Oct 24, 2009 12:26 pm) aishad (Oct 25, 2009 5:58 am)

Replying to: aishad (Oct 23, 2009 7:10 am) You have 290HP so don't expect expect 19MPH in the city.U may get close to 16MPH. U bought performance over gas conservation. Replies to this message: aishad (Oct 25, 2009 5:58 am)

Replying to: ahossa1 (Oct 24, 2009 12:26 pm) but 12.9? I guess its my fault for not doing more research before I got the car. Not to mention my car was apart of the recall.. Starting to regret this purchase
#42 of 48 loss of power by lsu50 Oct 25, 2009 (11:25 am)
I have a one month old 2009 Nissan Maxima with 1200 miles. Yesterday at a red light the service engine soon light, the slip indicator light and the vehicle dynamic control off light all came on. The car would not accelerate and would only idle at ten miles per hour. I checked all fluids levels and everything is Ok. This morning only the service engine light remained on and the car performed normally but after about five minutes the other two lights came on and the car again lost the ability to accelerate and would only idle. I am now trying to contact my dealer to get it towed in for service. Has anyone experienced this problem? Replies to this message: nomoredodge1 (Nov 01, 2009 7:56 pm)
#43 of 48 2008 Maxima Transmission Problem by nomoredodge1 Nov 01, 2009 (7:50 pm)
I have heard nothing, but excellent reviews on the Nissan Maxima. I had a 2004 Nissan Altima and never had a problem with the Altima other than changing the fuses. I could not afford the newer model Maxima; However I was able to purchase a 2008 Altima at 23,000. The next day the transmission failed and the car was towed back to Nissan. Any suggestions?

Replying to: lsu50 (Oct 25, 2009 11:25 am) I was just writing about my 2008 Nissan Maximas transmission. The car would not accelerate after 60 mph. It did not change gears. Once I stopped the car it completely "went dead". I had bought the car used; However it was one day old for me. It has been towed back to Nissan. I am seriously considering a refund and purchasing for the same price an Altima. I had zero problems with my Altima that was a 2004.
#47 of 48 highway vibration by greenacura Nov 27, 2009 (1:51 pm)
My 2009 maxima sv with 8,000 miles was recently in for service, the dealership rotated the tires and now I have a mild vibration at 75+mph. I emailed the dealership and they thought maybe a "wieght" fell off when rotating the tires. My guess is if I bring the car in they'll charge me $99 to rebalance. Do you think they would cover this for free/warranty? Should I just go to a local tire shop and have the tires rebalanced for much less $$$? Replies to this message: rouseman (Nov 27, 2009 6:42 pm)

Replying to: greenacura (Nov 27, 2009 1:51 pm) At 8000 miles, everything should be under warranty.
