    When the weather gets very cold the brakes on my altima 3.5 will seem to lock up and not want to let me brake. Feels as if someone has stuck a brick under the pedal. I have heard many many complaints and people that have had the same problem. I would do something about this asap. I've replaced the part already for this. For the 3.5 part number is 47430-8j100. The 2.5 is 8j000. *tr
