    I am reporting premature and potentially abnormal rear brake wear on my 2024 Nissan Pathfinder with approximately 19,600 miles. During an inspection, the Nissan dealership (Nissan City of Red Bank) measured the rear brake pads at only 1 mm, while the front brake pads measured 6 mm. The dealership recommended replacing the rear brake pads and rotors. The extreme difference in wear between the front and rear brakes at such low mileage raises serious concerns about excessive or…

    Legend Nissan service states at 13,623 miles my vehicle needs rear brake pads & rotors resurfaced. They initially stated they will pay for parts, but I will have to pay for labor. I have been driving for over 40 years & never had a vehicle need brakes & rotors at 13,623 miles. This is a manufacturer defect which should warrant a recall. After doing my due diligence I discovered there are numerous customer complaints, & class action lawsuits regarding this make/model (Nissan…

    Premature wear on my rear brakes. Front brakes when checked were at a level 7 out of 10 while the rear brakes at 24,000 miles were down to a 1 per one company and a 3 per Alpine Nissan. I was told it is recommended I do not drive the vehicle without getting the brakes replaced and the problem was due to my driving and all brakes wear different. If that were the case my front brakes would have gone first or been close to the same measurement. It was deemed unsafe to drive…

    I lease a 2024 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum with approximately 19,000 miles. During a recent inspection at a Nissan dealership, I was informed that the rear brake pads were worn down to approximately 1.5 mm and required immediate replacement. At the same inspection, the front brake pads still measured approximately 6.5 mm. The vehicle has been driven under normal conditions and has not been used for towing or other unusually demanding braking conditions. I am concerned about…

    I am submitting this complaint regarding a safety concern involving my 2024 Nissan Pathfinder, which has approximately 19,000 miles on the vehicle. The rear brake pads were found to be excessively worn and required replacement at only 19,000 miles. I consider this premature brake-pad wear to be a significant safety concern given the relatively low mileage and age of the vehicle. The braking system is a critical safety component, and I would not expect the rear brake pads on…

    I have had to replace my rear brake pads and machine rotors at 15k and 28k miles. I’ve never had to replace my front brakes- the issue is not my driving. I was told not to use my lane assist b/c it wears brakes and have t ever used. In addition the seatbelt warning dings while driving with no person nor anything on the seat. I have to pull off the freeway, turn the car off and restart it to stop the dinging.

    My Pathfinder has 19798 miles and I was informed that the brake pads are 3mm or less need replaced and the rotor resurfaced. The front brakes are at 7mm at the same mileage. I do not tow anything and use for city and highway driving. My complaint is that at this rate I will have to change my rear brakes twice as often and have them inspected more often. The cost for brake replacement at twice the rate of front brakes is 2x. I am concerned that there is a design flaw that can…
