| Description of the problem | My brake light kept coming on. Took vehicle to dealership they immediately informed me that it was probably the master cylinder and that this was a frequent and recurring issue with the 2008 altima. They checked the car out and confirmed that the master cylinder was leaking and needs to be replaced. If they know about the faulty part then why not a recall as with the sentra?? $550 to repair an issue known by nissan to be a faulty part. That is just crooked. |
