all dealerships charge extra. if it's not covered go some where else for less money and I want to know what nissan dealership is. My altima is still under warranty and needs front brakes.

Just called 2 other local dealerships and they have them in stock.....fronts are about 75.00 and rears are about 65.00.

What the dealership told my wife was that there was "something" on the pads and that if she wanted to get rid of the sqeaking sound she needed to replace the pads,,,,her cost!!!!!! Sounds to me like they are looking to remedy the situation and still make a buck!

something on the pads?

well it better had not be brake fluid?
because that part is covered under warranty
if something broke

that is... brake fluid wise..

even though the pads are not...

but if a part breakage caused a leak....... they are liable

it would seeem to me

but,,,thats a tough call now...

nope brakes sometimes squeek

then it goes away...

maybe theres more squeekable material when the pads
are worn down by 20,000 miles ...and i am not trying
to make a joke...by saying that...

usually squeaks are metal to metal.....

You should be able to change the pads yourself and save the labor price

True..Buy if they are pulsating when stopping the rotors may need to be resurfaced..

I'm going where I'm going...

My wife doesn'rt speed going down the road, but is still doing 30 m.p.h. 20 feet before she has to turn. She wondered why her front pads wear out. Just about every time I ride with her I ask her to not drive into the corner, slow down first and flow through the corner. Dirty look...........and then I say you'd think you were a cop chasing somebody. That always gets her. I'd still get those rotors turned also.

try to explain to her she needs to be a little easier on the brakes or you will most likely have this problem again in 20,000.
