There are 2 owner-reported brakes complaints for the 2016 Nissan Altimain NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
REAR BRAKES REQUIRED REPLACEMENT AT 40,000 MILE. CAR IS MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE OWNED A VEHICLE WERE I HAD TO CHANGE THE BRAKES BEFORE THE TIRES AND THE REAR BRAKES WORE DOWN FASTER THAN THE FRONT BRAKES. I REPLACED ALL FOUR BRAKES BECAUSE THE FRONTS WOULD REQUIRE A BRAKE CHANGE WITHIN THE NEXT 500 TO 10000 MILES
I PURCHASED MY CAR ON MARCH 21 2017 & I ALREADY HAD TO CHANGE MY BREAKS 3 TIMES FRONT THREE TIMES & BACK BREAKS TWICE IN LESS THAN A YEAR
