Common problems and easy repairs on a 2016 Maxima

The 2016 Nissan Maxima SR is a relatively difficult car to maintain when compared to other similar models. The headlight is extremely complicated to access. You will have to remove many components in order to reliably access the bulb, and this will require many tools to complete. You will have to peel back a panel from under the vehicle in order to access the fog light. This is a problem, as you will have to contend with gravity as you remove these parts. Checking the brake fluid reservoir can be difficult, as it is not located in an overly visible spot in the engine bay. This can make it hard to keep an eye on the fluid level.

Some things are easier on the 2016 Nissan Maxima SR. The engine air filter is easy to replace. You only have to disengage a few fasteners for access, and these fasteners are easy to replace. Connecting the Bluetooth is easy to do, as there are clear steps in the electronic menu for connecting your phone. The components of the spare tire are easily accessible in the rear of the vehicle. This keeps the tire and jack kit ready to go in case of emergency.
