| Description of the problem | My 2008 nissan altima master break cylinder needed to be replaced due to a leak after around 60k miles. Before the brake light came on there was a reduced braking capacity and at around 35-40k miles i bought new brake pads due to this loss of fluid thinking the brake pads needed to be replaced. After taking the wheels off i found the pads to be just fine and topped off the fluid. I had noted this many times when i brought it in for an oil change but i was told the brakes were in good shape. During one of the scheduled maintenances' the technician noticed the leaking brake master cylinder. *kb |
