The Air Brake Disc Rotor problem

My 2003 Nissan Maxima gxe continues to warp rotors. I have replaced the rotors on my vehicle 3 times while the car still has under 45,000 miles. This is disappointing as I feel Nissan has not lived up to their mistakes in purchasing thin rotors. I can provide paper work on the replaced rotors.   Read details...

The Air Brake Antilock Control Unit/module problem

At 65k miles, 2004 Nissan Maxima began to buck, stall out. Dash lights came on - abs, slip, brake, tcs off. Grinding noise coming from front of car. Abs seemed to be on all the time. Dealer evaluated - said it needs abs actuator, which was ordered, and should be ok to drive.   Read details...

The Air Brake Abs Warning Light problem

I purchased a new 2002 Nissan Maxima in may 2002. I began to see an abs light when driving in Jan 2003 when I had 9,800 miles on the car. Brakes began to catch and then failed completely before I could get home or to the dealership. No accident, due completely to luck. Car was towed to dealer.   Read details...
