Maxima Brake Feedback

robo1 · Mar 26th, 2008, 06:05 PM

I have had an '07 Maxima for about 9 months now. From day one, moderate braking often produces significant vibration/wiggle in the steering wheel and occasionally some light pulsing. Dealer service manager claims that this is "normal" for this "light" a vehicle. I've had rotors cleaned by an independent mechanic, but no change. I have heard from some that this is a frequent problem. Anybody have any experience with this or advice?

Do you have any other dealers in your area? Or call Nissan CS...

It shouldn't do that, IMO...and the Maxima is not a 'light' vehicle, unless he's comparing it to the Titan.

Tks! I'll try CS there are other dealers here, but I have not had the best experiences with them...he was comparing to Pathfinder, etc....sounded wrong to me as you point out, the car is not "light".

Have you checked your tires? Do a thorough visual check; perhaps one of your tires is damaged.

Dude! Your rotors need to be resurfaced!
