Brake Electric Antilock Problems of Nissan Maxima

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.

The abs system has stopped working at only 42,000. I believe the part is defective. Now the car cannot use abs to stop which is unsafe in rain or snow. The manufacturer does not want to help pay for the repairs, although the dealer is willing to offer a discount for repair because the car has only 42,000 miles on it when the abs stopped working.

When reversing my brakes squeak almost every time. 8000 miles on vehical, well kept, normal driving conditions. Took it to the dealer to and they told me nothing was wrong. No inspection of my brakes were done, just visually.

I have had problems with my 2004 Nissan Maxima since purchasing it brand new. Within 60 days of purchasing the car, I had to take it back to the dealership due to a malfunction with the brakes. I have spent over $1,500 since keeping the brakes and rotors repaired. I am on my fourth set of tires and have had three alignments and my front end inspected. I have had to replace an engine mount. In 2006 my air conditioner went out and I spent over $500 having that repaired. Now I am in need of a new transmission because there is internal damage due to the clutch slipping even though it is an automatic car. I have two friends with the same model/year car and they have experienced similar or the same problems. Once of my friends just replaced his transmission in his 2004 Maxima. This car has cost me at least $5,000 in repairs since I have purchased it and I have never ever received a recall notice on anything. I know that Nissan is well aware of the defects in the 2004 Maxima, but are not owning up to their responsibility in taking care of all of the problems that I have read about and talked about with different 2004 Maxima owners. I have also had the battery replaced twice. The body style of the car is beautiful, but the car itself is a piece of crap due to poor mechanics.

While driving at 65 mph driver applied the brakes to slow down t and lost control, causing the vehicle to hit a guard rail, and roll over twice. Vehicle landed upside down. Upon impact, the airbags did not deploy. Driver sustained minor injuries. However, prior to the accident, when applying the brakes vehicle experienced extended stopping distance.
