It seem like this year 2008 Altima has a problem with brakes. Almost every 2 yrs I have to change my pads on this car. I even replaced both rotors and all brakes parts front and rear to see if that will fix the problem, but it didn't. I don't understand why the Altima is so bad on brakes. I never had to change any other car brakes so much, that is why I will not buy another Nissan. Everyone I talk to that has one of these cars says the same thing and so did the Nissan car mechanic.

Altima 2.5S 2.5L

  • CVT transmission

it's not normal to have to change the brake rotor and pad, 2 time in 50000 km. I'm not an F1 driver. Cost me 2 time 1200$. Very crap.
