| Description of the problem | I have a 2007 nissan altima. Since 7500 miles, my brakes squeak when brake pedal is pressed. I have had my car in numerous times at the nissan dealership and have been told that there is nothing wrong with my brakes. They acknowledge that they hear the squeak but do not consider it a defect. I complained to nissan usa and was told that when they contacted the dealership that checked the brakes, they were told that there was not a problem and they were never able to duplicate the noise that i was hearing when i stopped. I told was told via email that there was nothing that nissan north america could do to help me. This is very poor customer service. I was also told that when it was time for a brake job, the new pads should not squeak. The service tech told me that the 2008 altima's did not have this problem. |
