| Description of the problem | 2008 nissan altima. Failed brake master cylinder at 47,000 miles. I took my 2008 altima 2. 5sl to the dealer for service. One complaint is that my brake light comes on under acceleration. They advised that my master cylinder has a leak. Due to the mileage on my car it is not covered by the warranty. I was advised that they see this often but most people are covered under the warranty because they have less mileage. I feel that nissan should fix this under recall. |
