1995 Nissan 240SX
Waterbury, CT
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
NO BODY CAN FIX THE BRAKING SYSTEM IN MY CAR. I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET THEM DONE FOR AT LEAST 2 YEARS. 4 + TIMES. I'M NOW BEING TOLD THAT THE REASON BEING IS BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE UNIVERSALS, CALIPERS, BEARINGS ROTORS AND MORE. WAS TOLD THAT IF THE PROBLEM WAS TAKEN CARE OF FROM THE BEGINNING THAT THE CAR WOULDN'T NEED AS MUCH WORK NOW. WAS QUOTED OVER 1,000 IN BRAKING SYSTEM WORK NEEDED TO BE DONE. THIS CAR IS ONLY A 1995. MY 1991 WAS A TANK COMPARED TO THIS ONE. I HATE THIS CAR. NISSAN CORPORATE HAS BEEN NOTIFIED SEVERAL TIMES IN REGARDS TO THIS PROBLEM AND THE PAINT PEELING OFF IN THE FRONT END. AT THIS TIME, I DON'T HAVE THE VIN # WITH ME. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. JUST HEARD A LOUD CRASHING SOUND IN THE REAR END LAST NIGHT.

I FORGOT TO MENTION NOT ONLY IS THE BRAKE SYSTEM BAD BUT THE TAKOMETER AND GAS GAUGE AS WELL. ODI #738038. NO ONE WILL LISTEN. THE 91 240SX WAS GREAT! THIS CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I'VE INQUIRED ABOUT WHY IT WAS DISCONTINUED AND I CAN'T GET A ANSWER FROM ANYONE.
