| Description of the problem | The abs pump in the maxima is defective. It grinds and grinds and the light doesn't come on. The mechanics could not find what was wrong with the car until the sound was so loud, you could hear it from outside the car. The car is only a few years old and this should not happen. If you visit maxima. Org, you can see on the forum that everyone with an '04 maxima has an abs problem. This needs to be recalled and nissan should fix these. This is over $1000 of work from the mechanic. We have owned 6 nissans and this is the only time this has ever happened. It is very upsetting that nissan will not acknowledge this problem. |
