SERVICE BRAKES
I FOUND WHILE RESEARCHING AN ISSUE ON MY NISSAN SENTRA 2007 THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE MASTER CYLINDER IN 2008 BECAUSE THE SAME ISSUE THAT JUST HAPPENED TO ME COULD HAPPEN. I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION AND APPARENTLY I WAS NOT ON THE LIST BUT MY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD THE MAINTENANCE SHOP CHECK MY BRAKES THEY SAID MY PADS WERE FINE. THAT I WAS PROBABLY HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE WARNING LIGHT. 2 WEEKS AGO I GOT IN MY CAR AND WHEN I WENT TO BRAKE I HAD TO PUSH MY FOOT ALL THE WAY TO THE GROUND. I EVENTUALLY MADE MY WAY TO MY LOCAL FIRESTONE AND HAD THEM CHECK MY BRAKES ONLY THO FIND THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE BOOSTERS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WHEN THEY PULLED THEM THEY SAID THEY WERE FULL OF BRAKE FLUID. THAT IS WHY I HAD NO BRAKES. THIS IS THE EXACT ISSUE LISTED IN THE RECALL. WHY WAS I NOT SENT THIS RECALL NOTICE AS I OBVIOUSLY HAD DEFECTIVE CYLINDERS AND I HAD TO SPEND 1300.00 TO REPAIR.

THERE IS CLICKING NOISE THAT IS COMING FROM THE RIGHT REAR SIDE WHEN SLOW DOWN OR COMING TO STOP AFTER BRAKING. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY AND NOTICED IT THEN. WAS TOLD BY NISSAN OF MOBILE IN MOBILE AL THAT THEY COULD NOT HEAR IT AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I KEPT TELLING EVERYTIME THEY SERVICE MY CAR THAT THE NOISE WAS GETTING LOUDER. LONG STORY SHORT THEY TOLD ME TO GO BACK TO OHIO WHERE THE CAR CAME SINCE IT LOOK LIKE THE BUT ON AFTERMARKET DRUM ON THE CAR. THEY DID NOT HELP ME AT ALL. BUT I SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING THEY HAD TO GET THE C-CLIP FIX AND THE NOISE WENT AWAY.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
MY CAR FREQUENTLY CHIMES WITH THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING / EMERGENCY BRAKE ASSIST AS THOUGH THERE IS A CHANCE OF A COLLISION. WHEN IT DOES THIS, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IN FRONT OF MY CAR! WHEN LEAVING WORK 2 DAYS AGO, I STARTED TO CROSS A LITTLE BUMP IN THE ROAD THAT I CROSS DAILY WITH NO ISSUES; THIS PARTICULAR INSTANCE HOWEVER, MY CAR DECIDED THAT IT WAS AN APPARENT COLLISION BECAUSE MY CAR CAME TO A DEAD STOP FROM ABOUT 15-20 MILES PER HOUR. FORTUNATELY MY HUSBAND AND I WERE BOTH WEARING OUR SEATBELTS, AND NO ONE WAS BEHIND US AS IT WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE SENSOR/RADAR FOR THE FORWARD COLLISION/EMERGENCY BRAKE ASSIST IS A HAZARD IN MY OPINION. THE CONCEPT IS FANTASTIC, BUT IF IT'S NOT GOING TO WORK PROPERLY, THEN IT NEEDS TO BE REMOVED FROM VEHICLES, OR AT LEAST BE ABLE TO BE DISABLED INDEFINITELY, NOT JUST WHILE YOU'RE OPERATING THE VEHICLE ONLY TO HAVE TO REMEMBER TO DISABLE THE FUNCTION NEXT TIME YOU'RE DRIVING.
