Description of the problem	I have a 2008 nissan altima 2. 5s. At around 33,500 miles i noticed my brake light coming on. I promptly took the vehicle to my local nissan dealership and was informed that my master brake cylinder had a leak in it. I was told it needed to be replaced and the warranty on it expired at 30,000 miles. I was quoted a price around $450. Bewildered by the cost and upset that they wouldn't cover it so close past warranty i left and had a friend who works at a auto repair shop replace it w/ a genuine nissan part for $240. I ate the cost of repair thinking it was bad luck and moved on. My altima is now at 78,000 miles and once again the brake light is coming on. I'm positive that once again the master brake cylinder will need to be replaced. I have visited the website http://www. Nissanclub. Com/forums/2007-nissan-altima-discussion-2-5-3-5/298430-warning-master-cylinder-problem-must-read-10. Html and also saw that nhtsa has opened an investigation into this. I would like my altima recalled or to be compensated for both repairs. (this letter has also been sent to nissan usa. Awaiting feedback).
