Need Help!!!!!!!!!

I dropped my car off this moring for inspection and they tell me that I need new wiper blades, one fog light is out and my passenger side caliper piston seal is broke.. I can get the blades and foglight myself. I was wondering if the caliper is under warranty?? My car has 45,000 miles on it.. Any answers will be appreciated..

No I don't think its under warranty.

Have someone you trust look at it or take it to a brake shop and have them inspect it. Many have free inspections just don't tell them anything. Let them tell you what the car needs and compair that to what you have already been told.

Yeah just called Nissan and it's not under warranty anymore... I took the car to Monroe and I think they are right b/c did have to put some brake fluid in there the other day.. But I am going to get a second opinion.. I also asked Nissan how much a caliper costs and they told me $318.19

Tim is right about calling Dave.

But I don't think you need a whole new caliper just a new rubber seal/boot for the piston. At worst a rebuild kit. 45k isn't bad miles for brakes. Unless alot of trash got in there it should be fine.
