Maxima

  • Automatic transmission

I have always kept the maintenance current on my car on a regular basis. Over the past month I have started hearing a noise from the rear of my car. After having it looked at by the local dealer I was informed there is a problem with the parking brake not releasing and allowing the tire to turn freely. The dealer informed me that a memo from Nissan was recently received stating this has become a known problem. Now I am being told my car is not under warranty and I will have to pay for the repairs.
