| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: We first started to notice a deep, loud rumble when braking...sounds like hitting a rumble strip on the side of the highway. the noise was so loud that my sister asked, "what the heck was that?" i have not had an accident in this car but have been made to take it in to 3 different dealers on 8 to 10 occasions...everytime i take my car in -they inspect and tell me my brakes are dusty or glazed and or need adjusting. one dealership even replaced the entire braking sytem in august 2001- in december 2001 - another dealership is telling me that there is no way the braking system was replaced because my brakes were very worn and glazed/dusted over again or that there is some kind of problem causing the brakes to wear at an amazingly fast rate!!!!!!!!! i have written a 7 page letter -sent copies of service bills - requested a replacement vehicle -been frustrated with service-wasted many hours from work, and home in dealing with dealerships and nissan north america and neighter will admit that they either can't fix the problem or they don't know how to fix it. we have had the run around for 2.5 years....the problem gets fixed temporarily and then comes right back. nissan north america is telling me that i have to let them take another look at my brakes and give them another chance to fix this ongoing problem. my last visit for repairs was around may ? 2002 - the brakes are once again starting to make a deep, loud rumble when applying brakes -sounds to be in the rear end of the car. however, the noise is not always present when using the brakes.- sometimes it happens more in damp weather. also, once the rumble gets reestablished...it become very loud, very obvious. thank you for your time!.*ak |
