Brake Master Cylinder problems of the 2008 Nissan Sentra

Just driving down the highway (no brakes applied) and the master cylinder went bad and lost power brakes.

Per Nissan recall 169. 202, my 2008 Sentra is equipped with robert bosch master cylinder. The master cylinder has been inspected and needs to be replaced. The dealer was contacted as soon as this information was made known to me, but the dealer refused to honor the recall. The dealer was not helpful. All information and the link to this form was supplied to me by firestone, not by the dealer. This recall and repair of the master cylinder should be honored.

2008 Nissan Sentra, so far had to repair and replace brake master cylinder 3 times already since purchased the vehicle.

I was not notified by mail of a recall on of my brakes master cylinder. I was told that Nissan doesn't send recall notices by us mail anymore. . . . Only by email. What if I hadn't taken it in for an unrelated issue? my brakes could have failed at the worst possible time.

My complaint is that Nissan has recalled 2007 and 2008 Sentras (recall # 08v311000) for master cylinder failure and I was never notified. This recall was effective July 23, 2008. I found the recall quite by accident. Nissan has offered no explanation as to why I was not notified within 4 months of such a safety hazard. Although I have not had an incident, it is my son driving the car from north carolina to ohio.

Engine knock, my car has a piston slapping around in the engine. I was told by dealer "sims Nissan in warren, ohio" to drive my car with the bad engine until they get a new engine which would be around 3-5 days to receive. They would then get me a rental car while they put the engine in. I informed the owner ken sims that this vehicle is unsafe to drive and he told me nothing would happen if I did not run the engine at high rpm's that would then cause the piston to go threw the engine. I once again told him this is unsafe and if he was so confident that nothing was going to happen to put it in writing. I was then told that he would have a huge lawsuit on his hands if something happened and now knowing if I run it at high rpms and the engine blows then I am responsible. I told him again the car was unsafe and he told me that I would be fine. Tired or arguing, I drove the car home from dealer going 20mph with 4 ways so I would not run the engine at high rpm's. The car is setting in my driveway, afraid to drive since dealer refused to give me another loaner or pay for a rental. So, I am out. Dealer has terrible customer service, and I feel as I am not being treated fairly, was degraded like I did not know what I was talking about, had to drive an unsafe vehicle on the road where the engine could have gone out of control and harmed me and others on the road. And to think they want me to continue to drive this until a new engine comes in. I have more common sense and will not put myself or others at risk driving this vehicle. The vehicle also has a recall for the master cylinder having a crack. Dealer has not even talked about fixing that, and I have not received a recall notice on this yet either, it was posed in July. This is now October.

Master cylinder recall.
