| Description of the problem | Brake fluid leaking into master cylinder on 2007 nissan altima . Brake warning light comes on in car and brakes acts as if it doesn't want to stop. Took my car to the dealership sutherlin nissan and they explained it just needed a new master cylinder and there was a leakage. Never mentioned a possible recall or anything. Sad thing is 9 times outta 10 they were most likely aware of the issue and still charged me to diagnose the symptom. Their greed to get paid 467. 00 for the job itself , that they never went into details of what could happen or the dangers of continuing to drive the car, mainly what the car needed. I googled the issue and to my surprise i wasn't the only consumer affected. I never received any notices about this issue and now wants to know why. This is dangerous and deemed unsafe . I'm thankful my instances led me to google this issue because the dealership never mentioned it. |
