I change brake pads every year and that’s not right I don’t think so. I always buy the best quality even when purchased fluids always buy cvt oil and I get it from the Nissan dealership.

5 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 05/28/2014

Any time you step on the brakes they have a very loud squeal when backing up. (backing out of a parking spot in a parking lot). Have to pump brakes while backing up to get squeal to stop. Has done this since vehicle was purchased in August 2009 to date. Have had several different mechanics, including a Nissan dealer, look at the brakes at least 10+ times and they found no issues. Also when you step on brakes while driving to come to a stop there is a loud scraping noise coming from the passenger side front. Again nothing found by Nissan dealer.

6 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 02/02/2010

My car accelerated with my foot on the brake with me pushing as hard as I could. I had stopped to get the mail in front of my house, so had my seat belt off. I have to also open the door just a tad, because the paper container is down lower. When it wouldn't stop and my driveway, which it was going across was slightly hilly, the door came completely open and I got dragged and then I turned loose and the car kept going. Fortunately the front right mirror got caught on a tree and it stopped right at the edge of my neighbors yard.
