1 Brake Grinding Noise problem of the 2013 Nissan Altima

Failure Date: 02/20/2017

My brakes and rotors have been replaced three times within a six-week period. After each replacement, squealing and grinding sounds continued. Each replacement resulted in a upgrade of brake pads to take care of the loudness of the squeals. Replacement was done by the same shop. The squeals and grinding noises occur whenever I push the brakes to stop or put the car in reverse to backup. For the last replacement of brake pads, I was told to drive the car for at least 100 miles and the squeals and grinds would stop. This however never happened. The third time I took my car back to the service shop they replaced the brakes with pro stop. I was told this is the top of the line in brake pads. To this day, I still experience very loud squeals and grinding as if my brakes need to be replaced.

3 Brake Grinding Noise problem of the 2008 Nissan Altima

Failure Date: 08/03/2009

My brakes on my 2008 Nissan Altima have been making a loud grinding noise almost 1 year now. I have notified the dealer which I bought the car from and they said nothing was wrong with the brakes when they completed a visual inspection. I feel unsafe with this type of ongoing noise and this occurs everyday,especially when the brake pads and rotors heat up,I will get a loud grinding noise. I have complained to Nissan several times and they have not did anything to help resolve this issue. My car only has 25,000 miles and I done think its suppose to be time for a brake change?? has anyone or is anyone else experiencing this same issue?.
