Brake booster was leaking into the master cylinder causing reduced braking efficiency and poor brake operation. Brakes were also catching when releasing the brake pedal from use. Low brake fluid levels in the reservoir were observed along with the illumination of the brake warning light due to low fluid levels. When fluid was topped off, the illumination light turned off, but brake catching problems continued.…

After noticing my brake light coming off and on at random times of driving i decided to have the issue checked out. I have been informed that the cause of the problem is from my master cylinder leaking. I'm extremely disappointed at the fact that the cost of the repair is so expensive. After doing some research i have found this to be a common problem with the 2007 nissan altima model and i'm highly suggesting a…

Problem: master cylinder leaking into the brake booster. I was fortunate to have it discovered during a routine oil change appointment prior to any brake problems on the road. When i got home, i did an internet search to see if there was any information on this issue. In doing so, i discovered that the nhtsa had received several complaints and was investigating it. Also, there had been a recall of 2007 nissan…

The first instance of an issue was the brake light would blink on and off in my car. I was told at the dealership that i simply needed to change my brake pads. After i changed my brake pads, the problem went away temporarily. The dealership then told me that i was simply low on brake fluid and they topped the fluid off. The light went away temporarily again. Then i started to notice that my brake pedal started…

The "brake" light on my 2007 altima had been coming on briefly then going off again for extended periods for about three or four months. I had the car at the dealership for a transmission issue at 40,000 miles and mentioned the "brake" light issue as an aside. Dealer then inspected and said there was an internal leak inside of the brake master cylinder and that it would need to be replaced at a cost of $460.00 i…

My brake light has been going on and off for a couple of years now on my 2007 nissan altima. I have the car 3 years now and the dealership addressed the issue by resetting the alarm and topping off the brake fluid. Now, they tell me that i need to pay $560 to replace the master cylinder brake and if i don't it will fail and i could be involved in a fatal crash depending on where i am at when it happens. Of course my…

Brake light on the dash keeps turning on when i accelerate and make sharp turns. Called nissan and they told me that there is a brake fluid leak that needs to be addressed. The car is 3 years old.

Brake light on dash comes on and goes back off occasionally. Through research of other altima owners online, found a common issue of a leaking master cylinder. There is a recall for 2.0l sentras with a leaking master cylinder, but nothing for the 2007 altima, for a problem which is common to many people, often around or after the warranty period has expired. *tr

My brake light on the console stays on for long periods of time and then turns off. I went to nissan and they told me that there was a leak in the brake master cylinder and with the part and labor it was about $450! My car is no longer under warranty but as i do my research online i find that this is happening to other nissan owners not only 2007 altimas. There is already a recall for the brake master cylinders for…

The nissan dealership said that the master solenoid or master cylinder is leaking and needs to be replaced for almost $500 and…

I have a 2007 nissan altima with only 23,000 miles. The brake light comes on frequently. Sometimes it goes back off quickly, and other times it stays on for a while. I was told that the master cylinder needs replacing, but is not covered by warranty or recall. It seems like a very common problem that should be handled with a recall from nissan, they have already done so for the sentra. *tr

Brake light comes on after 5-10 seconds when i first start traveling at a very slow speed for about 15 seconds and then it goes off. I notice this always happens. It appears from the maintenance manual that the brake fluid is low and needs to be filled up. I don't see a problem there. *tr

Since i have gotten my 2007 nissan altima, there has been various issues/problems with it. One of my complaints has been the brakes. I was told by my dealership that the squeaky screeching noise is normal for all nissan's which i thought was a bunch of crap. Through the years, no matter if replacing brake pads to calibers i should not have the squeaking still. *tr
