Brake Light On problems of the 2004 Nissan Maxima

My 2004 Nissan Maxima started making a grinding noise when I put on brakes with pedal & steering wheel vibrations Dec 2009, I took it to 2 different mechanic shops for the problem & was told I needed front & back brakes & rotors which I purchased costing over $700. 00 and the problem wasn't resolved, I took the car to jeffrey Nissan dealer in roseville,mi and they could not find the problem, this went on for over a month and finally the abs light & brake lights came on, I took the car back to the same Nissan dealer at which time I was informed that my abs system had went, costing me $2400. 00 dollars in repairs(in addition to the $700. 00 dollars already spent for a total of $3100. 00 dollars). I believe the abs system was defective and should have been repaired by Nissan and looking at all the other comments regarding the 2004 Nissan Maxima there should have been a recall.

I have been to the Nissan dealership 3 times in the past two weeks. I have spent over $2000 on the abs system and it is still not corrected. I replaced a rr sensor and also the abs module. Now I am going to have to replace another sensor in the lr and replace the module again. The abs light came on and also the brake light. The brake pedal jerked and I could hear a noise under the pedal that sounded like wires burning. I can not believe that I have spent $2300 and I am still having the same problem and I seems like I am going to have to spend another $2300 to have properly functioning brakes. Thanks Nissan.

Abs light came on with the brake light then vibrating noise started. Now every time that I break the car shuts off is able to start on again but about every time I break it shut off again is very dangerous and someone could get hurt. When I bought the car they told me it was a manufacture problem and it was not going to affect the car and now it is. I own the car for 10 months and the warranty expired so now im stuck paying for 3000 dollars to get it fixed when in still making payment on the car and can't even afford it.

Over the course of several months, the "slip" indicator light on my dashboard would blink as the right front wheel locked up and I would hear a grinding noise. My Nissan dealer could not duplicate this event. When this lock up would happen, the car "pulled" violently to the right and I would lose control of the car. When these events would happen my vehicle speed would be between 25 and 40 mph and on a dry road and either driving straight or around a minor curve. On sat. 5/30 while driving between 35 and 45 mph the slip light came on 3 times within 10 minutes. The first time a violent pull to the right with loss of control causing me to go onto the shoulder of the road. The second time, both front brakes engaged and the car almost came to a complete stop and the car behind me missed rear ending me by 5-6 feet. The third time both front wheels locked up pulling me to the right. No damage. There is no warning when these events happen. Sudden and shocking loss of vehicle control. The brakes lights do not come on. My Nissan dealer tells me that there have been no "codes" in the past, but on sat. The vehicle "threw" a code indicating the yaw/g force sensor had failed. As the driver of the car, you are out of control and risking your life, property,and the safety of other motorists. This dangerous condition can lead to accidents, property damage, injury and possibly death.

I've had a total failure of the vehicle dynamic control/stability control. The yaw/g force sensor failed. Prior to this being discovered by a code on the car's computer, I complained to the dealer that on dry roads, on straight always and curves at speeds between 25 and 45, the passenger front brake would engage without warning and the car would pull violently to the right. Dealer investigated and could not duplicate the experiences. On sat. 5/30 in under 10 minutes 3 times I experienced a sudden and uncontrollable application of the right front brake which pulled me off the road and onto the shoulder of the road 2 times and the application of both front brakes which caused the car to come to a sudden full stop. I was nearly rear ended by the car behind me. When this failure happens it is un announced, sudden violent and the brake lights do not come on. Nissan confirms the sensor has failed. This is a dangerous condition and can lead to accidents, property damage, injuries and possibly death.
