| Description of the problem | On june 8, 2009 took vehicle into nissan north for routine maintenance, but also requested the brakes to be checked because they had just recently began to grind. With this service, nissan noted a complete brake inspection was performed and nothing was found to be wrong with the brakes. Before i got home, the brakes began grinding again so took the vehicle back into nissan north on june 9, 2009. Although, just the day before we'd been told nothing was found wrong with the brakes they charged us $100. 00 to machine the front rotors. On july 8, 2009 took the vehicle back into nissan north because the brakes were now grinding much worse than initially. Nissan said they could lubricate pads, but not much else. On march 19, 2010 took the vehicle back into nissan and they replaced the front pads and turned the rotors as well as replaced the rear brakes and turned the drums and rotors at a cost of $400. 00 to us. Brakes have squeaked off and on, especially when it rains and nissan says this happens sometimes? June 2011 the brake light began coming on when the car is started, and has continued to do so intermittently. |
