Brake Light On problems of the 2006 Nissan Maxima

While traveling approximately 40 mph, with no warning, the abs lamp, tcs light and the emergency brake lights came on and the brakes became sensitive. I took the vehicle to my mechanic who discovered that the abs actuator was defective, rendering the abs system, traction control system and the electronic brake force distribution inactive. The mechanic installed an abs motor/module per the Nissan service bulletin issued March 16, 2007 and removed both rear wheel bearings and performed an inspection and knuckle modification per the bulletin. The cost of the abs actuator alone was $1,300; 75% of the total repair bill which cost, I feel, is exorbitant and excessive. Updated ivoq 03/20/12.

I was exiting a highy on an offramp when my brake light, abs, traction control and slip light came on. I applied my brake and there was a load crunch noise and my brake pedal sunk to the floor. It took an extended period of time for the car to slow down as the brakes were grabbing and letting go continously. Luckily this occurred during mid day, as this could have caused a serious accident during rush hour as the ramp would have had backed up traffic on it. I need a abs actuator replaced at an estimated cost of $2,500. This is a known issue at Nissan as many people have complained online of the actuator failing around 40,000 miles. Some people have even turned off their anti-lock brakes due to the high cost of fixing the abs actuator.

I purchased a 2006 Nissan Maxima in February 2011. . When I purchased the car it appeared to be in good running condition. . There were a few visible problems such as the headlights,running light,power seats, or windows weren't working properly. . That problem was fixed and the owner agreed to fix the brakes and the remainder of the problems however almost a year later my anti brake light is still on & the dealership have not made any attempt to fix my car. 4months after having the car the speedometer stopped working and the odometer,the gas gauge goes back & forth,the service engine light remains on and the car jerks while driving and sometimes when shifting the car out of drive into reverse it jerks hard. I have quite a few friends who have Maxima's also and have the same problem with their cars. . It's obvious it's a defect with the transmissions,speed gauge & so many other defects with these cars. Somewhere there has to be someone who can help myself as well as others who are experiencing these problems. I have read far too many complaints about these particular cars. The cost to repair these cars are expensive & not to mention the cost to have your transmission replaced & on top of all that you are still responsible for paying your car note. Hopefully soon there will be a solution to this problem. Thanks in advance!!!.

Had my car put on a diagnostics machine to find out why my abs, slip, engine & brake light was on. After the results came back here again is there another technical bulletin put out by Nissan for my vehicle. My vehicle is making grinding sounds and triggers the abs braking system to malfunction. The brakes will suddenly pulsate when engaged. I was told this is happening because: due to corrosion entering the rear tires. I was also informed that Nissan has a known failure of the abs for this model vehicle.
