Anyone else having problems with their brakes squeaking? Mine has been doing it for awhile every time I pull out of the garage in the morning. Read the same thing on freshalloy.com but nobody seems to have heard about any fix on this.

You obviously are deaf, Stu.



Or you have no appreciation for some of these brake squeals that can be heard a full half mile away and announce that you in all your wisdom, purchased a Japanese car with some QUALITY!


Or you don't have a brake SQUEAL, you have brake "squeak".
These things can squeal so loud, the neighbors can hear it inside their houses and laugh at you when they see you......I know.

Yeah joe, it DOES sound like the GSP............ :2:

No on all three counts, Homer. it does squeal, loudly, when I back out of the driveway. My nearest neighbor is about 1/8 mile away, I'm sure they laugh at the wife and I over a lot of things we do, but I really don't care. I gave up trying to impress everyone around me about 30 yeas ago.

Metallic pads do this until they get some heat. You can switch to a different pad to eliminate the squeak, but you'll probably lose some braking performance.

Think of it as a badge of honor, your brakes sqeal when cold to announce you have a high performance, race breed braking system.

I hope you realize that the MOs brakes are not metallic.

From my info, the pads are semi-metallic. Maybe your '03 isn't?

Also, if you look in your owners manual, it clearly states the brakes will "occasionally" make noises like this.
The Murano uses carbon-ceramic brake pads. Its possible there are some metallic components in the friction material.

I had this TSB NTB07-012a done on my 06 and it fixed the problem! IT can be found at Nissanhelp.com. They put new pads that are different. Hope this helps.

Gee how about that.

Glad that it worked for you as it worked for me!


It doesn't work for everybody I guess.

and Eric, I agree.

It is possible.


However, let's not let this one drop and get bad information out there.

These are by no means those brakes known as Semi Metallic with sintered pads.
These ARE Ceramic brakes and have been since introduction.

Now What???

I have an 07 that had the brake squeal. The dealer replaced the rotors and pads with one service bulletin's parts. I had more serious squeal after the service. Last week, the dealer made one more attempt. Now, the brakes are quiet; it just doesn't stop as well.

Is this just part of the solution? Can I have either poor brakes, or loud brakes?

Well! Well! Got no where with the BBB or lemon law as it is not a safety issue...

It has been almost 2 years now and I have to live with my sqealing pig of a car!

Not only that, the gas mileage really bites on this car! I am getting 16.2 when the sticker touted 22/25.

I will never purchase another Nissan!

I have the same damn problem i’ll be taking it to my mechanic tomorrow. I will let you know what he says, and if he replies it properly. Honestly, all the money and issues I’ve been experiencing with this Nissan Marano 2012 will never ever ever ever in my entire life by any type of Nissan vehicle and future nonstop issues from transmission brakes everything else one thing unless he goes out, I’ve had seven cars in my lifetime, I’ve had my ups and downs. Nothing competes with shadiness as Nissan does.
