"How Long The Brake Pads Last on 2007 Nissan Altima"

2007 Nissan Altima Brake Pads

I have about 25,000 miles on my 2007 Nissan Altima which was new when I got it and Nissan is telling me I need to change my brake pads. I think they should last at least twice this long. I do a lot of city driving, but it’s not hard braking. There are no signs that they are wearing out either such as a squealing noise. I’m curious how long brake pads last for other 2007 Nissan Altima owners. Thanks.

Answer: Brakes should be replaced when they are worn. The mileage does not matter, it depends on ho much of the pad is left. City driving, even if you use the brakes gently, wears the pads much more quickly than highway driving. In city driving you are using the brakes often, due to traffic lights and stop signs. When driving on the highway, you can go many miles without touching the brakes at all. If you do not believe the dealer, have the brakes checked by an independent shop. You may want to have the independent shop do the repairs, seeing as they will most likely be a lot cheaper than the dealer.
