My Nissan Altima 2002 is smoking my brakes have failed almost causing a wreck I have had to put brake pads on my car 4 times within a year my car has stopped in the middle of traffic and I don't know the reason why. I took my car to a Nissan dealership and was told that I need a new catalytic converter a new engine and that was the problem for my car stopping in the middle of traffic the brakes have failed once. I was told by Nissan of gadsden al. That I need to have over $13,000. 00 worth of work on my car because it was a safety hazard . I called the Nissan company and they would not do anything about it then they stop accepting my calls and said deal with it because they was not going to have any repairs made to my car. I paid cash for my car after the first year I began to start having problems with it the dealer told me that nssan new about these problems and refused to do anything about it and they could work out something with me instead of paying $12,000. 00 for the repairs that they would charge me $8,000. 00 for the repairs I do not have any money to get my car fixed and Nissan told me to deal with it. What can I do about this please help I paid $13,000. 00 for a car that don't work please help me. Thank you shelia gaston.

At 2 years of ownership and 37,000 miles my rear brakes have failed completely; calipers, pads, rotors, etc. All need replacement. Front brakes are "ok" for now and only half as worn as the rear brakes. This doesn't seem right to me. Of course, it is not warrantied since it is over the 36,000 miles or 3 years. I have read numerous other complaints from consumers about this happening to them too. I bought my car new in 2002 and have driven mostly highway miles. What, besides defective parts in the first place, would cause this kind of parts failure?.

I experienced warped rotors on my 2002 Altima after driving for less than 18 months. This was a premature failure that is not covered under warrantee. Pads were also replaced.

Defect rotor: I have being driving my Altima 02 for 2 years. Three weeks ago (22 month), at less than 17000 miles, I took my car for a brake check because it made a lot of noise. The technician at performance Nissan dealership found that both rear rotors and pads need to be replaced and the front rotors needed to be cleaned and machined. It surprised me since it is such a short period of time and mileage. By the way, I placed a order for rear rotors from a Nissan dealership in TX. They told me they have to place a national order to find the part, and I have to wait for a unknown period of time for the part to come in. So everyday, I have to walk to work. Rusty gas intake pipe: there is a hole at the intake above the left rear tire, so mud and water came in during snow weather, then the intake mouth became rusty.

: the contact stated the vehicle shook when the brake pedal was depressed. The service dealer determined that the front and rear brake rotors and pads were worn and needed to be replaced.
