| Description of the problem | I was told that my master cylinder was leaking brake fluid at a slow rate. My current mileage is near 45,000 miles. I figured it would covered by nissan due to it being a safety factor. Instead this dealership wanted to charge me $450. 00 for this part, i opted not to do so. Its kind of disgusting that a car with only 45,000 miles has all these problems. This has not been on the only issue with this car. The drive belt went bad as well as my battery. Something has to be done about this problem. I have read that nissan has a recall for these master cylinders on the nissan sentra. Shouldn't all there cars have this recall when it comes to safety? ## vin passed ## nissan altima 2009 sedan 2. 5s ##. |
