NHTSA complaint #10733164, filed 2015-07, 120,000 miles“2008 Nissan Altima 2.5- I have been to the dealership over 9 times with brake issues and had my master cylinder replaced once already in 2009 under warranty. My brake light has been turning on during acceleration and off when brake is applied. I brought it to the dealership today and was told the master cylinder has to be replaced again and the car is no longer under warranty and the work is not under warranty due to 12,000 mile agreement. Obviously, something is seriously wrong here. I'm on the 3rd master cylinder in 2 and 1/2 years. …”
