Brake Abs Warning Light problems of the 2006 Nissan Maxima

Brake "actuator" started humming or running as soon as car ('06 Nissan Maxima se) was turned on away from home. Continued to kick in abs at every brake application creating unsafe (or at least not normal) braking situations and continued to run when car was shut off. Abs light, tcs light, and slip light all activated continually. Codes c1110 & c1105 & c1106 were present after scanning at local garage. Battery drained after car shut off due to actuator continuing to run with car shut off. Per research and other TSB or Nissan-issued techincal bulletins, the rear hub abs sensor frequently malfunctions due to a design flaw in the car. If driven while malfunctioning (as in this case) the controller/actuator may malfunction. Turning off "abs" while driving seems to keep the actuator from running, but also makes driving less safe, especially in inclement weather due to turning off tcs/abs. I've had to replace this out-of-pocket (despite being an extremely common problem with this model vehicle). Sensors and actuator were replaced. Vehicle driven again. Less than 8 months later, same issues return. Nissan dealership replaced rear sensor per codes, new code for actuator shows again (after sensors placed in) and they require me to pay out of pocket again for new actuator. This is obviously a design flaw in the car (per many other reports) and should be recalled immediately for repair.

The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing, but the dealer was made aware of the failure and advised that the failure could have been caused by corrosion of the abs sensors. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised that they would not assist with the cost of the diagnostic test or the repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 72,000.
