| Description of the problem | The brakes on the nissan altima are constantly squealing. I brought a brand new altima nissan 2013. I have taken the car to the dealership several times and also contacted customer care for nissan. The squealing of my brakes issue has not been resolved. I was told at the dealership i would have to deal with the squealing for as long as i have the vehicle. I was also told there was an alert (by a floor manager). Well, customer care said that was not true. I am trying to get rid of the car. There is no reason to have squealing brakes. This occurs every time i make a stop or reversing. I also have a problem with the push to start button. I have complained that it acts as if it does not want to "catch" i was told when i first complained that a new starter was order and i would be contacted when it arrives. That was in 2012. It is may 2013. Still have not been called by the service department and my car has been service at least 3 times since it was reported. |
