Problems with 2007 Nissan Altima SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

My brake light kept coming on while driving. the nissan dealership service said that i am leaking break fluid from the brake master cylinder. the is in reference to the action #pe11020. *tr

I am requesting that dot nhtsa investigate the driver's contribution to a leak with the master cylinder and to request that dot nhtsa force nissan to issue a recall. the vehicle is 2007altima 27k miles this leak causes loss of brake fluid. when enough brake fluid is loss, the brake system is not able to generate enough pressure to squeeze the brake pad to the brake rotors. end result is that the operator of the vehicle cannot stop the car (no brakes!!!). this poses serious danger to the vehicle operator, its passengers and the public. please formally investigate and when found valid, force nissan to do a recall. my personal experience: it started with the brake light turning on then after a few minutes, turn off. all the while my brakes starts to diminish. i looked the brakes system and found that the brake fluid level is low. topped it off and everything was back to normal.around 60 days later, brake light again turned on and a few minutes turned off. same problem. i had it checked with a professional mechanic. he??s conclusion is that the master cylinder has a leak and ...

2007 nissan altima - my dashboard brake warning light sporadically flashed on and off beginning a couple of weeks ago. i took the car to a nearby nissan dealership for a brake inspection. the service department representative, prior to inspection, shared that the warning light might indicate that the master cylinder might be leaking and the brakes might be good. the service mechanic observed that brake fluid levels were low and due to the master cylinder leaking into the booster. the brake pads were good. the mechanic added brake fluid. the dashboard brake warning light stopped flashing. i was quite surprised that the service department manager had a good idea that there was a master cylinder leak. i asked him about it. he said that brake master cylinder leaks were a common problem for the 2007 nissan altima. i am taking the car to a different facility for another brake inspection and repair, if necessary. *tr

Brake fluid leaking. brake light turns on intermittently. *tr

Brake problem light came on then went off after the car warmed up. my brakes failed to work, the pedal pushed all the way to the floor. come to find out the brake fluid has leaked out of the brake master cylinder. the nissan dealer said he has seen this before on 2007 altima vehicles. the brake problem light should have stayed on, this is very misleading and very dangerous to have the light go off after a while. *tr

Emergency brake light flashes on and off. *tr

My brake warning light keeps coming on. *tr

my brake light randomly turns on/off regardless of the speed i am going. also when i apply the brakes, it is definitely a rough and jagged slow down, compared to previously owned vehicles. nissan should take responsibility of the issue, otherwise their reputation may suffer from this. i am hoping word of mouth and individual research will result in more documented incidents, and the nhtsa will grant a long awaited recall. *tr

The brake light on my car came on. i took the car into the dealership to check the brakes and was told the master cylinder was leaking and needed to be replaced. the vehicle is a 2007 model. it seemed too new a vehicle to need such a repair. the cost was 638.95 to repair it. when i picked up the car, and started driving it again after the master cylinder was replaced, the brakes were worse than before. pedal went all the way to the floor. they had installed the new master cylinder, but the new one wasn't holding pressure, so i had no brakes. all of the brake fluid leaked from my vehicle. the car had to be towed back to the dealership. they had to replace the master cylinder yet again. i looked online and saw that the master cylinders were needing replacement in this make and model quite frequently, but a recall has not yet been issued on the problem. therefore, i am adding my complaint to the list toward that end. *tr

After noticing that my brake light was coming on intermittently for a couple weeks, i took it to my nissan dealership for service. while servicing the vehicle, it was discovered that there was a crack in the brake master cylinder. i was informed by the service department that they had serviced a number of nissan altimas for the exact same issue. my service advisor mentioned that there is an on-going investigation into this problem and that there is a possibility that nissan may issue a recall for this defect. *tr

Brake warning light on, so i took to dealership. dealership tells me there's a leak in the brake master cylinder and it needs to be replaced. *tr

Brake light came on. added brake fluid and light went off. brakes became increasingly mushy and sometimes it appeared that brakes would not work at all as brake pedal went almost to the floor. frequently had to pump brakes well before intersection to make sure i was able to stop. took to dealer and spent $625.08 to replace master cylinder. it appears that nissan has known of the defect for some time and isn't concerned. *tr

Brake light is illuminating. investigation shows that the brake fluid level is low. i have filled the brake fluid multiple times but it continues to lose fluid. this complaint is being filed based on car forums on the web that there is a known issue with a faulty master cylinder. there is also an open nhtsa investigation for this issue.

The day i purchased my vehicle around dec 2007, the brakes were squeaking. the service department and dealership where i bought the vehicle from told me it was just dust on the brakes and it could be washed off with a pressure washer. this problem has never been solved even when my brake pads had been replaced. i began to have a serious problem with my breaks a few months ago when every time i would push on my break pedal, the break pedal would kick back, car would jerk, and i would have to reapply the break pedal to stop/slow my vehicle. i finally took it to my nissan dealership/service dept and was told the vehicle's master cylinder had a leak and needed to be replaced. this is a serious problem and an expensive price for something that should be under warranty. *tr

I noticed a leak on the garage floor and a flashing on/off of the dash board brake warning light. i am taking it into the dealer today to have it checked out. i have a fear of a master cylinder after reading about all the complaints for this make/model. concern as well due to recall summary research about the defect investigations related to altima brakes. nhtsa campaign id # pe11020. *kb
