Loud knocking under front of the car, I replaced the bearings and noise stopped for a while. The knocking has come back and the steering wheel will be hard to move and sometime jerks to the side. Also the whole tail light goes out, I have changed the light bulbs four times already within a month.

I had my 1997 Nissan Maxima repaired because of a defective axle from the factory. There were several bearings missing and it looked like what appeared to be washers loose. According to the service center where I had my car repaired, their opinion was that it was a manufacturer defect (they had never seen anything like it) and felt that we were fortunate to have "caught" it in time. I saw the defective part myself and still have it for inspection.

The left and right wheel bearings are defective.

2002 Nissan Maxima had abs module failure. Consumer states that the brakes failed without warning. The consumer stated the problem began with a very loud ear piercing screeching noise when the brakes were applied. The sound was intermittent, so it was difficult for the dealer to duplicate. The consumer went to the dealer several times to have the brakes checked, but they were found to be ok. The consumer stated on one occasion, her husband applied the brakes and the vehicle did not stop, the abs came on as he approached the intersection. The dealer informed the consumer the abs actuator and the rear abs sensor had failed. The screeching noise was due to a bad wheel bearing.
