Some one please help
Everytime i drive my maxima once you let go off the gas and go about 10-15mph my car starts to sound like it has a flat tire. I'm not sure if its the brake pads just touching against the disk or some thing else is wrong. If you guys have any idea please help. And no i do not have a flat tire in case one of you wants to be funny......j/k
Perhaps you have a pebble stuck in your tire thread. If not, carefully check for metal screws/nail stuck in your tire - sometimes they can be hard to find and often do not leak air at all (at least for a while)
If not, it could be dirty/warped rotors - easy to check: once you hear the sound, press the brake ever so slightly - if rotors are dirty, the sound should go away upon application of brakes - if rotors are warped, you might feel slight vibration in your brake pedal assembly.
In addition, you might have a CV joint that needs replacing - check for broken/torn CV boots on the halfshafts. Also, check if the noise gets worse while turning - this is a pretty good indication that it's a CV joint problem.
Hope this helps and good luck.
