| Description of the problem | The "brake" light on my 2007 altima had been coming on briefly then going off again for extended periods for about three or four months. I had the car at the dealership for a transmission issue at 40,000 miles and mentioned the "brake" light issue as an aside. Dealer then inspected and said there was an internal leak inside of the brake master cylinder and that it would need to be replaced at a cost of $460. 00 i agreed to the replacement because dealer said that brake failure could occur if not replaced. My research indicated that others were having a similar issue with the faulty brake master cylinder with this make and model. |
