Consumer Description

MY BRAKE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON ONLY A FEW MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR. I TOOK IT IN AND THEY SAID THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER BECAUSE IT WAS LEAKING. ABOUT A YEAR LATER I STARTED HEARING SCREECHING WHEN I BRAKED, MOSTLY AT NIGHT OR IN COOL WEATHER. I HAD THE BRAKE PADS LOOKED AT AND THEY WERE FINE. NOW THE BRAKE LIGHT IS COMING ON AGAIN, BUT I DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR ANOTHER REPLACEMENT MASTER CYLINDER SINCE MY WARRANTY IS EXPIRED. NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THESE DEFECTIVE BRAKE CYLINDERS AND SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE AND MADE TO RECALL CARS UP TO 2009 OR 2010! *TR
