| Description of the problem | On september 30th, 2011 i had to have my master cylinder replaced due to leaking. This was identified at the mccarthy nissan dealership in olathe, ks and replaced at the same location on the same date. Approximately three months ago, noticed that my emergency brake light would intermittently illuminate while driving. This was noticeable during acceleration and the light would go off after i let off the accelerator or started to brake. I had the dealership look into this issue when i took my car in for a routine oil change. After the master cylinder was replaced i noticed that the braking was much smoother and more efficient. I have kept my vehicle well maintained since owning this. Bought the vehicle from the dealership and have been the only owner. |
