2004 Nissan Maxima brakes problems

Tl*the contact owns a 2004 nissan maxima. While driving approximately 100 MPH, the vehicle drove off a hill, struck a stop sign, made 360 degree turns into an intersection, and crashed through a brick wall and a chain fence before landing in someone's home. Two occupants were killed, including the driver. The contact stated that the driver of the vehicle was always very cautious when driving and would have obeyed the speed limit.

The ABS braking system broke down several times before it failed all together. The problem appears to be due to a faulty design that allows rust to build up between the wheel sensors and the hub, which appears to be most prevalent in the salt states. The initial symptoms include the ABS firing during regular braking, which could be a safety concern at high speeds. Eventually, the misfiring ABS will cause the ABS controller to burn out completely.
