Yes, the 2006 Nissan Maxima does come equipped with electronic stability control (ESC). ESC is a safety feature that helps to maintain control of the vehicle during certain driving conditions. It uses sensors to detect and assist with any loss of traction or stability, making adjustments to individual wheel brakes and engine power as needed to prevent the vehicle from skidding or sliding. This helps to improve overall vehicle stability and reduce the risk of accidents in challenging driving situations.
