Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Brakes developed a bad problem with vibrations when braking which acutally giggled the steering wheel. problem was first repaired at 5,000 miles and they serviced it by turning the rotors. problem reoccured at 11,000 miles and it was serviced again. this time the rotors could not be turned and they had to replace the rotors, pad kit, and boot kit. at 16,000 miles the problem once again reoccured and at the time the service dept. said that nissan has not found a permanent fix for this problem and they once again turned my rotors. i have since called nissan and was told by their representative that nissan is only providing "counter-meaures" and has not found a fix and has no date when one will be avail. i feel it is a major safety issue since these problems have occured without evening towing anything and i am pursuing the lemon law in the state of washington. it is unreasonable to expect people to drive a vehicle which has to have a major break service perfomed every 5,000 miles just to be somewhat safe.*ak
