| Description of the problem | I took my 2006 nissan quest in to have the tires rotated. The service manager said they reviewed front brakes and rear brakes and said they needed to be replaced. The front brakes had 15% life remaining and the rear brakes had 10% of there life remaining. The total cost was $626. 91. This van had only 24,199 miles on it. I wrote a letter to nissan customer serivce. They said they could not do any thing about this repaid, because the brakes were worn evenly all the way around. I told them that nissan should tell their customers that their brakes do not last 25,000 miles. This should be in the customers book. Instead we find out about this through a simple tire rotation. We have owned gm cars up to this point and we have never had any problem such as this. The gm brakes would last 40 to 50000 miles. This is a major safety issue that nissan has not addressed and they should be sending out a bulletin to all their customers about this brake issue before somebody has a serious accident. |
