Rotational Clicking Noise

Has anyone ever had this on their Max, I've got a 2011 with 12000km on it making a rotational clicking noise once per revolution at the front left tire. There is no rock or screw in the tire as i pulled it off and inspected it.

The best part, i took my vehicle to the dealer for an oil change at 12000 and told them, she said he couldn't hear it and didn't want him to spend to much time on it because they would have to charge me, aren't our cars under warranty, and she also put the wrong tire location to check on the work-order.

Can't find good help these days!

Charge you? I don't know if things are different in Canada but the only reason they should charge you is if you damaged something yourself.

Same here on my 2010. I also thought it was a rock. It sounds like the RIGHT front tire to me.

I had this sound on another prior car and it just went away on it's own. Never did find out what the heck it was.

I have the same problem too. Don't know what it is. Maybe my rotors needs to be resurfaced?

I agree with Jbling. It sounds like the rotors are warped. Does the car vibrate at a hard stop? I have that issue on my front brakes. Time for a break job. Saving up for tires first . Finally time to get rid of the RSA's! They are awful in the rain and the vibration is driving me crazy. It only happens 50% of the time though. Don't get me wrong, I am madly in love with my maxima. Lol (Silver SV w/ tech package.)

Got the click also, had it on an Altima before the Maxima. Kind of just ignore it now.
