| Maybe a week after purchasing a 2012 nissan altima on july 25, 2012, i heard squeaking sounds when braking. i returned to the dealership and was given a letter from the mechanic stating that it is normal for the brakes to squeak occasionally because the brakes a not made with the same materials used in the past. on oct 29, 2012, i returned to the dealership because the noise increased when stopping and i started to hear scrubbing when stopping. the mechanic checked my car for the 2nd time and only replaced brake padding in the front and shaved one rotor. now on nov.14, 2012, the noise is continuing and the scrubbing sound is still there. i think the manufacturer should pay to replace my brakes and rotors because the was car new when i left the dealership and i should not have this problem. it sounds dangerous and every time i drive my car i am afraid it my not stop when i brake to stop. *tr | |||
