Trim / Codes

The 2004 Maxima was redesigned for that model year, riding on Nissan's FF-L platform and powered by a 3.5-liter V6 producing 265 horsepower, paired with either a four- or five-speed automatic transmission depending on trim. Common service items include ignition coil failures, oil consumption in some VQ35DE engines, and catalytic converter deterioration, which can trigger emissions-related warning lights. The engine uses a timing chain rather than a belt, so no timing belt replacement is required, though spark plugs are typically replaced around 105,000 miles. Owners should also verify whether outstanding recalls, such as those involving Takata airbag inflators, have been addressed.
