| Description of the problem | I have a 2004 nissan maxima with 50,008 miles on it and recently had the abs coming on while i was driving and no dash warning lights on, brought it to the dealer to find out that the right rear abs speed sensor went bad but why didn't any warning lights come on they pulled the abs fuse and now the warning lights are on but you absolutely can not stop the vehicle when this happen this imagine hitting the brakes at 55 mph with your two year old in car and its not stopping because when you abs sensor goes bad it turns on the abs which does not allow your normal brakes to operate and do not throw any of your dash lights on, if i had the money for a lawyer i would be going after nissan right now it should work so if you have a problem with your abs it should turn at least your warning lights and then disconnect the abs so you can use your normal brakes to actually stop the car..... Also none of the front end and rear end body lines match up to none of the gaps between hood and fenders are the same can get finger in one side and not the other same with the trunk, and the car has only been in one accident that i know of that i reported had gotten side swiped at 45 mph on drivers side by big truck also notice that front and rear windshields do not have nissan stamp on windows the car fax was clean well the on the dealership i bought car from was clean i think this car was wrecked front and rear and fixed and wasn't reported then sold to me with 26,800 miles when i bought it no sits at 50,000 cause have nothing but problems with i would like a state inspector to look at car my opinion is car is unsafe but only one i have and still owe more than 10,000 dollars on it please help. |
