2005 Nissan Maxima 4dr Sedan
265-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual FWD
| 132500 mi US $65 |
ABS started activating on its own while braking under dry conditions. Rear wheel hubs let in too much salt/dirt and triggered crazy readings in the ABS sensors. Replaced rear hubs. Known defect, a Nissan TSB was issued. |
| 141000 mi US $800 |
ABS sensors were detecting erratic wheel speeds, causing ABS to kick on in dry conditions at light braking levels. Super dangerous. Hubs had rusty sludge inside, ruined ABS sensors. Known problem, Nissan has TSB. Cut fuse to disable. |
| 150000 mi US $600 |
ABS actuator failed, attempted fixes made by replacing both rear ABS sensors. |
2005 Nissan Maxima 4dr Sedan
265-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD
| 120000 mi US $268 |
Going to drive the car after starting it up, a period of time could elapse and then the "SLIP" would start flashing and the power would be greatly reduced to the drivetrain like you were slipping on ice. Then the ABS and TCS lights would come on and shut the system down. This was potentially dangerous if you happened to be pulling out of a parking lot across a couple lanes of traffic and this occur. The shop has found that the head of the bolts holding the ABS sensor to the rear hub had completely rust away leaving the sensor free to vibrate and not see the tire rotation correctly. The ABS sensor also has to go back in to the rear hubs dismantled and drilled out and tapped out so new bolts can go back into the hubs to hold the sensor. Will need more work to make this repair successful. |
| 70000 mi US $500 |
Stuck caliper caused damage to one rear rotor. Had to replace caliper, pads and rotor. |
| 87000 mi US $450 |
ABS sensor failed due to rust and was replaced. Failed sensor caused ABS to activate whenever braking - poor braking distance. |
| 95000 mi US $1600 |
ABS Modulator replaced |
| 99000 mi | ABS rear sensor wires wet and corrode at connection due to water and salty roads |
