| Description of the problem | I was told when i got my oil changed at an express oil change that my brake fluid was a little low and to keep an eye on it. With in a couple days the brake light was coming on and then it would go off. It would do this on and off every time the car was driven. Took the car to moore nissan in bessemer, al and told them of the problem. They checked out the car and i was told that i needed rear brakes and that my master cylinder was leaking. They showed me the leakage and i inquired as to what would cause the brake master cylinder to leak in a car that is only 4 1/2 years old. The tech said its actually a common altima problem. I said, really. I had the repairs made. |
