Hey people crackzima here I was wondering if anyone has tried the chip they advertise on this site and if it really works $69.00 isn't a lot for some go power but I don't want to waist it on something that may cause more trouble than its worth

those "chips" are worthless. if it sounds too good to be true it usually is

If you believe your brakes are anything less than 100% operational than a trip to the dealership is required if you are still under warranty. If not then a good brake shop will fix any problem you are having.

It's the electronic power brake assist. Takes a bit of getting use to. I drive two cars and its take me a minute to get use to the other car not having it.

There is a Nissan TSB for some models pertaining to more braking than expected during light / moderate pedal pressure. Summary below.

Subject: SB 2010-2011 Altima & Maxima; Brakes Feel More Sensitive Than Expected

Summary of NTB10153:

IF YOU CONFIRM The brakes feel more sensitive than expected with light to moderate brake application, and/or Towards the end of bringing the vehicle to a stop (last few feet), the vehicle stops SLIGHTLY quicker than expected. ACTION Replace theBrake Booster Assembly - Refer to section BR in the appropriate Service Manual for brake booster replacement information. - Use the new brake booster listed in the Parts Information. See this bulletin for further detail.

I had this exact problem. I replaced the booster. It worked great for the first half mile, but then the brakes got tighter and tighter and would not release. By the time I had gone a mile the brakes were so tight that the car would not move. I had to have it towed home. Thinking I had a bad booster, I replaced it again with the exact same result. Has anyone else had that happen?

I worked on a friend's car from the rust belt. The Pistons were shot and binding. New calibers and she was off and running again.

I had already replaced the front calibers, the master cylinder and all of the pads. The problem didn’t start until I replaced the booster.
