Are brakes covered under Nissan’s warranty?
I just bought a new Nissan Maxima, and I’m a little nervous because my previous car had major issues with its brakes. Are brakes covered under Nissan’s warranty?

If your car is brand new, you can relax! Your
Maxima’s
brakes, brake pads, and rotors are all covered under Nissan’s
factory warranty for the first 12,000 miles. After that, your car’s brakes are still covered if you run into mechanical issues for three years or 36,000 miles—but you’ll need to pay out of pocket for worn brake pads or rotors, since they’re considered part of your car’s basic maintenance
.Here are some tips you can use to keep your car’s brakes in good condition:
- Have your brakes and brake pads checked about once a year. If your mechanic tells you they’re worn down, have them repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
- Get your brake fluid changed every 20,000 miles.
- Reduce wear by letting your car coast before you fully apply the brakes.
- Avoid following other cars too closely. The more often you slam on your brakes, the more likely you are to cause damage over time.
Your car’s warranty can help you cut costs when it comes to certain car repairs, but you can save even more by shopping for a lower rate on your
car insurance
