1999 Nissan Altima brakes complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 15 of 15, newest first, as owners wrote them.
There is a leaning sensation on the left drivers side from front to back. Took to an alignment specialist, left front side had bad springs. On right side tie rods had to be replaced. Also, brakepads were wearing out and rotors were warped. Vibration while driving and bad shimmy when braking.
I have been having a "squealing" brake for the past couple of months. Throughout the entire day, my brakes would make a shrilly noise whenever I braked (at least 4 or 5 times throughout the day). I took my car to the mechanics and had a brake inspection done. The mechanic said my brakes are brand new... So I went to the nissan dealer in cerritos. They informed me of a memo that nissan had sent out to its dealers regarding brake noise, claiming that it was "normal" to have some noise. In any case, I feel that a 6 month old car should have no noise coming from anywhere, considering that I have followed the complete warranty instructions in maintaining my car. In addition, the mechanic that inspected my brakes also told me that he, too, had an altima; and that his brakes started making noise since 5,000 miles. If there are any reports or any news in regards to nissan brakes, please contact me. Your help is appreciated.
When the car has a panic stop the right rear brakes lock up, but not the others. The car just doesn't stop fast. Took the car to the dealer and they said the brakes are normal and adjusted correctly. The brakes feel fine except in a panic stop.
Drums and rotors slightly out of round and caused vibration upon braking.
