| Description of the problem | We bought a 2007 altima (used) which still had all original manufacture parts on it. The second day that we had it the brakes started squealing. When i took it to the dealer they had it from 7am until i finally got it back at 11pm which seemed weird and upset me very much. They told me that all they needed to do was clean the pads and for extra help they sprayed some stuff on them to keep it from squealing. The next day started squealing again, so i took it back and they told me that they just found out that nissan's corporate tech's were trying to find out what caused all of the altima's to have this issue. Then they wanted to put new pad on for me to see if it would help. I agreed and to bring it in the next day and i went home and marked the pads myself and when i took it in i asked to see the old pads when they were finished. When i went in and they showed me the pads they were not the ones i marked and they insisted that they were and the issue was fixed. And they said there will probably be a fix or a recall by next year and to just deal with it if it started squealing again which started as i was still in the dealers parking lot. Please help. |
