| Description of the problem | The first instance of an issue was the brake light would blink on and off in my car. I was told at the dealership that i simply needed to change my brake pads. After i changed my brake pads, the problem went away temporarily. The dealership then told me that i was simply low on brake fluid and they topped the fluid off. The light went away temporarily again. Then i started to notice that my brake pedal started sticking when it was pressed. I was then told at the dealership that my break booster was bad and it needed to be replaced. I left my car at the dealership for repair. An hour later i was called by the dealership and told that they discovered my brake master cylinder was leaking and it also needed to be replaced. This is a dangerous issue with the vehicle and it needs to be addressed. I have read several other complaints of nissan altima owners having this issue. |
