| The brake light started flashing intermittently even though the hand-brake wasn't on and there was no noticeable problem during braking. the dealer said there was a leak in the brake booster and that i would have to have it replaced. it was not covered under warranty. i reluctantly agreed to pay the $560 for the replacement because the dealer said it was never a good idea to take risks with your brakes. | |||

| Brake light started coming on and going off spontaneous through out each drive time and continued to stay on longer as time passed. took my car in for service to the dealership, after a thorough inspection by the mechanic as he too was puzzled why my fluid level was low since the brakes themselves were working great it was determined my brake fluid was somehow leaking out of the container that holds the fluid into the rubber boot around it and was advised i needed to have the master brake valve replaced at a cost of $456. i questioned why this would happen and if it's been a problem and was advised they didn't know why it was just happening and no they had not seen this as a problem with other customers. i was advised it wasn't something that had to be fixed today but would need to be fixed but they would top off the fluid and i would be good, but for how long they couldn't tell me. in researching i see i am not the first to have this issue and probably won't be the last. i wanted to log my experience in hopes nissan will do the right thing and fix this problem before it is related to a catastrophe! | |||

| I have a 2008 nissan altima coupe with 30k miles and the brakes are squeaking nonstop. i took the pad off on all 4 sides and there is plenty of pad left. i sanded the syface of the pad, cleaned the brake assembly and still they squeak non stop. the only time they will not squeak is if i brake super hard. *tr | |||
