Description of the problem | Defect rotor: i have being driving my altima 02 for 2 years. Three weeks ago (22 month), at less than 17000 miles, i took my car for a brake check because it made a lot of noise. The technician at performance nissan dealership found that both rear rotors and pads need to be replaced and the front rotors needed to be cleaned and machined. It surprised me since it is such a short period of time and mileage. By the way, i placed a order for rear rotors from a nissan dealership in tx. They told me they have to place a national order to find the part, and i have to wait for a unknown period of time for the part to come in. So everyday, i have to walk to work. Rusty gas intake pipe: there is a hole at the intake above the left rear tire, so mud and water came in during snow weather, then the intake mouth became rusty.*jb |
