Altima brakes really loud on one side (driver). Had pads checked they were fine, fluid fine, rotors unknown. The problem is definitely worse the longer the drive. Literally the most annoying and embarrassing thing to deal with. Vehicle has also recently started having problems braking but not on a consistent basis, its a really random occurrence like maybe happens 3 times one week and goes away for a month.
