2004 Nissan Maxima Sedan 3.5 SE 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
DONT BUY A 2004 MAXIMA
 Bought it with 19K - now have 86K. 3rd set of brakes and 4th set of tires.Now replacing the tranny & timing belt for over $5K. Before the ext warranty expired I told dealer I was having transmission issues. They said it was the motor mount which they repaired. Once out of warranty the tranny went completely. Appealed to Nissan NA - no success. Asked local service manager why I should put in another Nissan tranny and he said "Dont worry they fixed the problem" admitting there were issues with the 2004 trannys. There is a class action suit for the trans if anyone is interested. Last car payment is next month. Tears. No more car payments but a huge charge bill for repairs.
