2017 Nissan Altima: grinding or squealing brakes

Filed Jul 4, 2026 · Suspension · IL

The rear lower arm control snapped while driving on even surface road. I’m a female and when I heard the pop I got out and inspected the car. Could have caused injury to myself or other motorists. Confirmed with two mechanics that this in fact was the rear arm control and that they have had these issues with a lot of Nissan Altima and Sentra. Was advised to take to Nissan dealership to see if they will repair-which I did, but I’m currently awaiting a response by Nissan to see if they will cover it. The car has been making a squeaky sound but it comes and goes. The check engine light came on but displayed loose fuel cap and it goes out when I put gas in my car from time to time. I’ve also heard that is another issue with Nissan with the loose fuel cap. I just want my vehicle repaired. It is maintained although it is a 2017 and has 157,000 miles. No real issues until now.

My 6 altima, this one, has by far been the worst!I took it to dealership for recalls & recvd a new battery, I told them the brakes don't stop the vehicle, they turned front roters, I took it back for severe squeaky squ dealership did not hear a thing! I have since been in a rear end collision unable to stop the vehicle and a driver left turn collision again unable to stop the vehicle, I went back to the dealership and recvd another new battery but brakes are fine!! Last night in the rain approaching a red light, not hydroplaning, again almost hit a stopped car & swerved. Theykeep insisting it is my driving causing the issue, my car has 20,00 mi I want a brand new altima with properly working parts! I called both branch & district manager with no return call! I will escalate to the top of nissan!

Both the drive side and passenger side front brakes on my 2017 nissan altima sr squeak only when going in reverse. The noise is very pronounced when the car is driven out of the garage in the morning in reverse. It also happens when the car has been parked anywhere else for a while. The bottom line is when the brakes are cold they always squeak when the car is driven in reverse. The car was purchased in 2017 and the brakes have been squeaking for years.

When I stop at a red light and put my foot on the gas to proceed it would barely move and then take off. My car has under 19,500 miles and the camera is messed up, my car wouldn't start before, my bluetooth hesitates at times and my warning lights are not working properly. Now my check engine light is and I get my oil changes done and just got my brakes done and my car is squealing again.

I purchased my car in 2018, in february of 2019 I had my front brakes changed, not even two months later the squeaking noise started again on the same front brake mechanic told me they was defected brake pads so he changed them and place some new ones on the car. Now I picked my car up from shop and two days later the brakes are squeaking again. I've inquired with others who has the same model car and they informed me that they have been having the same problems at this point I think this is something that needs to be looked into because I shouldn't go through that many brake pads on a new vehicle. The squeaking usually take place when I press brakes to come to a stop.
