Brake Sensor Problems of Nissan Maxima - part 2

Anti-lock brakes would fire during normal braking, at higher speeds. Had to have multiple wheel sensors replaced. Dealer claims is it corrosion related.

The abs braking system broke down several times before it failed all together. The problem appears to be due to a faulty design that allows rust to build up between the wheel sensors and the hub, which appears to be most prevalent in the salt states. The initial symptoms include the abs firing during regular braking, which could be a safety concern at high speeds. Eventually, the misfiring abs will cause the abs controller to burn out completely.

My 2002 Nissan Maxima se had a total brake system failure. I was not able to stop the car using the brakes. I had to throw the gears into park and shut the engine off to get the vehicle to slow down. I stopped on a sidewalk almost hitting two pedestrians. I had to have major repairs done to the brake system. The actuators, front and rear sensors were replaced. My car only had 15,840 miles. This could be a potentially hazardous problem.

2007 Nissan Maxima abs activates with normal braking. There was a service bulletin ntb07-016b for this problem which is clearly a design defect from Nissan. As I was driving and catching speed I noticed my car slipped into a lower gear I would hear abs engaging and if I steped on the brake pedal abs would be activated. Took it to the dealer even though I have no warranty they told me it would cost me $1,200 to replace the bearings and the sensors as they were corroded due to water and dirt trapped where the sensors rest. The service bulletin clearly states that a piece has to be grinded off on knuckle in order to allow proper drainage of water and dirt. This is a safety concern and a very expensive repair to be done coming out of consumers pockets due to the obvious design defect from Nissan. They should be held responsible for this ongoing defect and a recall should be mandated to correct this potential hazard while driving.
