| Description of the problem | I bought this vehicle brand new and it has been properly maintained. While driving down the road the vdc off and slip light came on. After turning the car off, and restarting the light would go out. This happened twice so i made an appointment with nissan, while driving there it came on again. The stated that my master cylinder was bad and needed to replaced, the cost was $620. 00. This car was recently inspected and has not even needed new brake pads yet. I also have a problem with the tire pressure light coming on even when tires have correct pressure. I had to pay $ 50. 00 to have it reset so it would not stay on. After doing some research this seems like a common problem, that nissan is doing nothing about. |
