SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I PURCHASED AN 09 SENTRA BRAND NEW SEPT 24TH 09 SINCE DAY ONE WHEN I BRAKE THEY GRIND AND THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES THEY FIXED IT AROUND 8200 MILES AND IT STARTED AGAIN 7 THOUSAND LATER. ORIGINALLY THEY SAID THE PADS WERE GLAZED AND THE ROTORS HAD HOTSPOTS! ANYWAY MAYBE ITS THE TYPE OF PADS THEY USE. IM TIRED OF IT AND JUST WANT SMOOTH BRAKING. I RESEARCHED THIS AND FOUND SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS MADE BY 09 NISSAN OWNERS REPORTING THE SAME THING. OBVIOUSLY THERE'S A PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. IF YOU HAVE TO BRAKE FAST THE WHOLE CAR SHAKES. *TR
