These comments are to be added to the original complaint - 10222492. I took my vehicle to the Nissan dealer on two different times; once at 8,000 miles and another time at 15,000 miles. When I had my brakes replaced at 24,000 miles they said I was supposed to bring it in at 10,000 miles to check some "pins" on all four wheels, that control the brake pads. When they reviewed the work sheets for those two times, they was no mention of checking the brake "pins". A item as serious as brakes should be highlighted and shown on the screen, as are the oil changes and tire rotation. "check the brake pins" is not even shown on this screen. This is the most serious system of a car. I feel that Nissan should have a screen warning that tells you to have these "pins" checked. It is obvious to me that there is a design problem with their braking systems and the onus is placed on the customer to read the fine print in the owner's manual to see all these details. When in fact, it could be displayed on the driver's information screen. I feel that Nissan has blown the safety of their vehicles. This is the comment that I want added to complaint 10222492.
I took my 2006 Nissan Quest in to have the tires rotated. The service manager said they reviewed front brakes and rear brakes and said they needed to be replaced. The front brakes had 15% life remaining and the rear brakes had 10% of there life remaining. The total cost was $626. 91. This van had only 24,199 miles on it. I wrote a letter to Nissan customer serivce. They said they could not do any thing about this repaid, because the brakes were worn evenly all the way around. I told them that Nissan should tell their customers that their brakes do not last 25,000 miles. This should be in the customers book. Instead we find out about this through a simple tire rotation. We have owned gm cars up to this point and we have never had any problem such as this. The gm brakes would last 40 to 50000 miles. This is a major safety issue that Nissan has not addressed and they should be sending out a bulletin to all their customers about this brake issue before somebody has a serious accident.
