Re: Rear brake discs after 25k 22 months

I think Nissan have an issue with some of the Rear Disks but they dont want to admit it. However it is a differnet matter proving they have a "bad batch" or have used unsuitable metal. i have had a new car (not Nissan) every three years for the past 20 years (leased) and never had rear dis...

Re: Rust on Brakes - 3 Week Old Car

How did you get on at the dealer? I think Nissan have an issue with some disks. I have been told my rear disks QQ 2014 Tekna needed replacing after 2 years and 18,000 miles. The Dealer told me corrosion is not coveted under warranty but won't admit the material they used might be faulty. The front d...

Re: Rear brake discs after 25k 22 months

Mine is definately corrosion. Try looking at this in your web browser - https://video.citnow.com/vtNRNvjcXF_ I am not sure if you can view this but it is what my Nissan Dealer sent back in October 2016.

Re: Tekna Wheels - "White Worms"

Alloy wheels will corrode and oxidise because of what they are made of, this is why they are painted and lacqured. On the Teckna they are what is called "diamond cut" which gives them their "shinny" apperance. The symptoms you are seeing is the result of minor damage to the lacqu...

Re: Rear brake discs after 25k 22 months

Is it my imagination or does everyone suffering this problme own the 4x4? Mine is the 4x4 and i know they are not that common but it would explain why this problem is not as common either?

Re: Rear brake discs after 25k 22 months

I believe this is a manufacturers problem. I have exactly the same problem. At the 2 year service 18,000 miles my rear disks needed replacing. I noticed my rear disks showing signs if corrosion after just 6 months and took photos as evidence. My Nissan garage is suggesting the corrosion is not cover...
