Model Year	2015
File date	19/03/18
Component	SERVICE BRAKES
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Rear brakes worn down to metal with only 35,000 miles on odometer while front brakes indicate far less wear and did not require replacement. This condition is indicative of malfunctioning or mis-adjusted proportioning valve. It also indicates potential stability and handling issues due to higher braking force being applied to rear brakes while stopping. Dealer (surf city nissan, hunting beach ca), when questioned, gave various reasons as to why this was happening: 1. "your car has rear disc brakes and that's why they wear out faster" 2. "it depends on who's driving the car" 3. "older cars apply more force to the font than the back brakes, not the new ones" all of these statements are contradicted by sae publication, "vehicle dynamics, stability and control", 2017. Dealers would not acknowledge that this condition is a potential safety issue and therefore would not investigate it further. Dealer, service rep and service techs are not familiar with basic principles of vehicle operation, safe operation and function. Contacted nissan north america, tn (ian) and they would give no technical information or opinion on the apparent unsafe condition of the car and deferred to the "expertise" of the dealer. As indicated above, the dealer displays little or no expertise with regard to this condition.
