2006 Nissan Maxima. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle braking system the consumer stated the abs on the right and left wheels of the vehicle would engage as he depressed the brake pedal at a time when the roadway was clear and dry, and his speed was in excess of 40 mph. Upon taking the vehicle to the dealer, the consumer learned there was a defect. The defect caused water/moisture to be retained in the rear hub assembly, resulting in corrosion to the hub assembly and causing the abs to engage when it should not have been. In December 2010, the dealer performed a procedure where they cut a drain channel to allow water to drain out of the right rear hub assembly. This corrected the problem. However, the dealer acknowledged it was a problem on Nissan models. When the consumer inquired about whether it would happen on the left side of the vehicle, the dealer stated it was possible. In January 2011, the dealer performed the same procedure on the left side as they did for the right side. However, after having the service done, they determined the abs was still engaging. Upon further investigating it was determined that the continuing problem was due to the left rear wheel bearing assembly having become so corroded with water and moisture that it had to be replaced.
