Around 8k my car started with a grinding noise when I would step on the brakes took it for service said the car needed brake fluid, now not even 3months later my car has the similar grinding noise on & off at times not when I step on the brake but when car is running will be taking it to service tomorrow.

Notices a creaking noise from passenger side rear brake at slow speed approx 3 weeks ago, intermittent. Was driving on Friday 11/22 and heard a loud thump, checked car and didn't see anything. Driving about 1/2 hour later, head a loud thump and felt the car jerk. Stopped, visual check of car tuned up nothing. Continued to drive and then right rear brake started to squeak, which turned into a loud grinding noise. Got the car to local Nissan dealership, and upon inspection said that the rear brakes had failed and needed new drums and pads! 11k miles on drum rear brakes should not result in failure. Covered under warranty, but nervous to drive thr car now.

I took my car in for the third time about the rear brakes. At first there was a grinding noise. I was told something had gotten loose and that it was fixed. It wasn't, I took back a second time, I was told that they had to put some more lube on it. Well that worked for a little bit. Now I can't back up without the brakes squeaking like crazy, the grinding is back and now when I turn the wheel you hear a clunking noise. Also the brake pads are already worn. . . . On an 8 month old car! I have emailed Nissan about this and waiting for a reply. I am filing a report to the attorney general and Nissan. If this is not fixed I plan to use this lemon law. I have all the noise recorded on video and kept all the records of when the car went in. The brakes wearing out this fast is ridiculous on a new car! if the brakes fail, I could get into an accident and then it's my fault. Oh and as for the squeaking of the brakes, "it's a case by case issue. " which mean it could take at least a month before it is repaired. But the dealership assured me that no other damage will be done. . . . Then why are things getting worse!.

I leased 2013 Nissan setra from Nissan 46, NJ in March, 2013 and from July, I kept hearing a loud grinding noise from rear part of the car every time I pressed down on the brake pedal.

Driving as usual and applied the brakes approaching a red light and heard a loud grinding noise. It's a brand new car and had approximately 1,000 miles at that point in time. I had it looked at by the dealer and he has parts on order and I will return to have it fixed. I hope this is the end of this issue. However, I am greatly disappointed and stressed out by this event. I bought a Nissan based upon their reputation and recommendations from friends. I think this is my first, last and only Nissan ever. I had a 12 year old Toyota camry that was more reliable than this. I hope an investigation into the brake issue is undertaken and quickly since it could turn into a dangerous and unfortunate situation for many.

Grinding noise from rear brakes when stopping from slow speeds, I was told it was a part that can rust when sitting for a short period of time but would stop. Problem still exist. Going to take car in for another inspection 8/20 hoping for better results.

Rear driver side brake as I am driving and apply brakes you can hear like a horrible sound like grinding noise you also can hear it if the car is at park and you go up and down on brake pedal I was at teddy's Nissan dealer for first oil change told advisor he tells me to bring it back on Monday morning that they only do oil changes on saturdays so I will be going Monday morning so they can repair the problem will get back and let all knows how the do.

I purchased the vehicle from buena park Nissan at the end of may and in mid-June/ early July I kept hearing a loud grinding noise every time I pressed down on the brake petal. On July 15th I took the vehicle to the Nissan dealership for an oil change and mentioned the noise to the representative. I was told that a part had been ordered and I would be contacted when it arrived. I have still not been contacted by the dealership. Recently I experience the car move even though I have the brake petal firmly pressed down.

I have also been experiencing the loud grinding noise from the rear brakes. I took the car in today for its first oil change and showed the technician the issue. I also have a problem with the a/c not cooling. There have been a couple of times while driving when the a/c starts to blow warm air for a long time and then randomly starts to cool again. Hopefully the dealership can get it fixed without causing any additional grief! the car has been driven less than 5,000 miles!.

I purchased the vehicle in April. Two months later I realized that when in drive when I set my foot on the brake I would hear a grinding noise in the back of the car. When I would put it in reverse the noise would not occur. It was always when I would hit the breaks until the car came to a complete stop. It would not make the noise when I hit the breaks suddenly. When I called Nissan and brought it in for them I was told that it was a fluid problem. After 2 weeks the noise began again, now it has stopped and goes on and off. Also I have noticed that the indicator for the passenger air bag will be off at times when there is an adult sitting in the seat. This also happens on and off. I have had it though, where the indicator has come on saying the air bag is off for 3 days in a row, having someone sitting in it. The third problem is that the windshield wiper fluid does not spray correctly. It pools at the bottom of the windshield and so it does not clean it correctly. Finally the last problem is that I have noticed when I fill up the gas tank the amount of miles I get are different every time. I have a particular routine everyday and every weekend. At times it seems I have more gas than when I have filled it up before. When I have used the eco button at times, it seems that once in a while it will work the way it is supposed too. Most of the time it seems that the car just guzzles gas more than usual.

This is a follow up on the safety complaint I previously filed on 6/2/2013, when my Sentra 2013 suddenly had big grinding noise on the passenger rear wheel when I applied the brake pedal decelerating the car. After having the car towed to the local dealer, the dealer diagnostic and confirmed the rear brake broke apart inside the rear brake drum damaged brake shoe, brake self-adjusted assembly, anti-shoe rattle clip and pin. Though Nissan covered the repair, replacement parts, and towing cost, it still cost me one day off work and the car had to sit at the dealer couple days waiting for the replacement parts. I then looked up the internet and found the Sentra 2013 rear brake part diagram (see link below). What really scare me is the new 'u' shape anti-shoe rattle springs / clips (instead of the traditional circle / washer shape ones typically found on most vehicles) that are used to lock the brake shoes in place with the anti-shoe rattle pins. These u-shape anti-rattle shoe springs might come off if the car running on bad roads often or big bumps over the time. I am really concerned about the safety on Sentra 2013 rear brake and hoping someone could investigate to prevent future safety issues. . Read more...

While applying the brake pedal decelerating the car, the car suddenly had a very loud grinding noise on the rear passenger wheel, like the brake rotor grinding against some metal parts that broke loose inside. After stopping the car inspecting passenger rear wheel and found nothing, I got back to the car slowly accelerating it. The loud grinding noise got worse and I felt the brake pedal kinda light (like not all 4 brakes are being applied). I suspect the brake shoes or components broke apart inside the brake drum of the rear wheel (passenger side). Fortunately, I was at slow speed (20-30mph) and only one block away from home. Will have it towed to the local Nissan dealer to have it checked out as I only had this car for about 7-8 month from brand new. Since this is an all-new design 2013 Sentra, I am concern this is a flaw on the brake design that could cause extreme dangerous hazards on the road. Though my car should be covered under manufacturer 36-month bumper to bumper warranty, I am strongly asking to have the rear brake system on the 2013 Nissan Sentra investigated and recalled / corrected if necessary. This would help not only protect my family, my investment, but also others from running into the same incident operating this particular model in the future.

Funny, I have had my 2013 Sentra to falhaber Nissan 6 times for this same brake issue, air bag (there was a recall on it), and the a-pillar on the driver side keeps coming loose. To date I still have the grinding noise and brake issue along with the a-pillar coming loose which the air bag is located behind. I have been told it was in my trunk, my license plate vibrating and even stated to me they don't know what the problem is. I bought a brand new car, why lie to me? fix the problem or return my money is how I feel. My safety and others with me is too important. I have also experienced the decrease in acceleration thankfully, not while in traffic. I thought that was the cvt transmission. Ben from falhaber stated to me a couple times along with others from Nissan consumer affairs that no one else has reported this. Again, another lie after reading all these posts. I have filed for the lemon law refund.

The contact owns a 2012 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated the lock on the trunk of the vehicle was inoperable due to a gap near the lock. The rear suspension made a clicking noise when the brake or the accelerator pedals were depressed. There was also a grinding noise as the brake pedal was depressed preventing the contact from stopping the vehicle at a traffic light. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who attempted to repair the vehicle; however, the failure continued to occur. The vehicle was taken to the dealer at least three times. The manufacturer was notified but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 1,300 and the current mileage was 1,700.
