| Description of the problem | My 07 altima has a braking problem. I push the brakes at any speed and it has a residual pop and jerk. It begins to slow down as normal and then it seems to catch again and it will jerk and become a extreme brake. I took the car to my mechanic and they replaced the pads and turned the rotors initially and bled the lines. That did not fix it. They then recommended that i take it to nissan and i did and they said it was the brake booster and i had that replaced and they realized that the master cylinder was leaking and they were both replaced but that did not fix the problem. My mechanic can not figure out what it is and it is a definite safety hazard but i have no recourse because i have to get to and from work. He has also contacted nissan and they told him that is normal for the altima's. I read that there are other altima's that have a similar type issues. I just want the issue resolved. I have a discount on my insurance that involves my good driving and i can not apply that because of the breaking issue. My insurance monitors my driving and base my discount on my driving performance. |
