“The right rear wheel/brake contact point makes a sound comparable of metal scraping metal. Mechanic can find no cause. Sound is becoming unbearable and it can also be felt in pedal when depressed. Vehicle also makes a knocking sound upon each rotaion of the tire. At first happened after extended driving when it got hot, now it is constant. After 4 visits to repair shop, still no cause is found. Contacted Nissan to inform of problem.”
