Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / March 2006Nissan brake problem
Hello everyone, I have a 2004 Nissan Altima which I like very much. However there does seem to be cronic problems with the brakes. I have had to replace (advised by the dealer) first the rear and recently the front brakes. I have about 30,000 miles on the car and almost all of it is highway driving. The dealer seems to feel it is not unusual to replace brakes so early. I have driven for over 25 years and perhaps replace brakes 2 or 3 times in all that time in all the cars I have owned. I do not drive or stop overly hard to tax the cars brakes. Does anyone else have similar problems with Nissan and if so have they found any solutions,other than getting rid of the car? Thanks for your help I have an Altima for a number of years, and I drive it very easy. I found that after about 30,000 to 35,000 miles it needs new front pads. The rear shoes last about every 3 pad changes.  SignatureJANA _____ Hello everyone, I have a 2004 Nissan Altima which I like very much. However there does seem to be cronic problems with the brakes.

Thanks for your help I have 114,000 miles on an older Altima used in commuter driving - half freeway and half streets - and 30,000 miles is the max I've ever seen on the front. The rear shoes have never needed replacing. On a Toyota Camry, however, I get more than twice that on the front. >I have an Altima for a number of years, and I drive it very easy.

I drive 50/50 highway/city and have 77k mi. and still have 50%pad left on the frt. The rears had to be replaced because the calipers rusted solid. I have a 96 SE 5-sp. >I have 114,000 miles on an older Altima used in commuter driving - half >freeway and half streets - and 30,000 miles is the max I've ever seen on [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] >> any solutions,other than getting rid of the car? >> Thanks for your help That's interesting. I've owned 13 Nissan's, and NEVER put brakes on any of them before 50K. I have an 03 Murano sitting in my garage with 99K miles and it still has the original brakes, although I'm getting ready to have those replaced. Willy |
