Common problems and easy repairs on a 2006 Maxima

The 2006 Nissan Maxima SE is somewhat difficult to maintain. You’ll need to remove the wheel well lining, bumper, and bulb housing for access to any of the headlights, which won’t make for reliable bulb changes. The tail lights will also require their entire housing to be removed for bulb replacements, which can be a time-consuming endeavor. Connecting you phone via Bluetooth may be a problem as you’ll need to use voice commands to do so.

However, the 2006 Nissan Maxima SE does have its upsides. The power steering fluid reservoir has unobstructed access, allowing you to reliably monitor the fluid level. Jumpstarting or replacing the battery won’t be a problem thanks to the open placement of it in the engine bay. The spare tire and jack kit are quick to remove from underneath the trunk lining, allowing you to set them up quickly in the event of a flat.
