2011 Nissan Altima Owner Comments

problem #1

Jan 052015

Altima 2.5 SL 2.5L I4

  • CVT transmission
  • 32,000 miles

Every time I hit the brakes, the steering wheel would shake and the brakes would squeak. One day, they started grinding like metal on metal. I took the car to my local Nissan dealer and they informed me that my rotors had "hot spots" on them. Please bear in mind that I had had the car for a little more than 30 days when this happened. I feel that it's unacceptable for pads and rotors to be worn out at 32,000 miles.
