One problem related to brake warning switch has been reported for the 1999 Nissan Altima. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Brake light came on in car, thought it was an electrical problem. Was told that I needed new front brakes. Went to 2 dealerships - both said same: front brake pads worn, replace front brake pads and resurface rotors. Total came to $247. 74. Since this car is less than 1 year old, am I expected to replace the front brakes @ about every 10,000 miles? this is a major defect!!!.
