| Description of the problem | These comments are to be added to the original complaint - 10222492. I took my vehicle to the nissan dealer on two different times; once at 8,000 miles and another time at 15,000 miles. When i had my brakes replaced at 24,000 miles they said i was supposed to bring it in at 10,000 miles to check some "pins" on all four wheels, that control the brake pads. When they reviewed the work sheets for those two times, they was no mention of checking the brake "pins". A item as serious as brakes should be highlighted and shown on the screen, as are the oil changes and tire rotation. "check the brake pins" is not even shown on this screen. This is the most serious system of a car. I feel that nissan should have a screen warning that tells you to have these "pins" checked. It is obvious to me that there is a design problem with their braking systems and the onus is placed on the customer to read the fine print in the owner's manual to see all these details. When in fact, it could be displayed on the driver's information screen. I feel that nissan has blown the safety of their vehicles. This is the comment that i want added to complaint 10222492. |
