So my breaks have been squeeking for awhile, and I haven't had money to get new ones... can anyone give me a range of how much it would be to replace all 4 of them/ including maybe the rotors? I finally got my tax return and I'm gonna use that for it..

Yeah, i know stupid me.

rotors should last several sets of pads. i doubt you need them. just buy new pads, probably from stillen is a good bet. I'd stay away from ceramics though because they eat rotors (my opinion). i cant see more then $100. good luck

that is unless the pads were warn to the point that they grooved the rotor, then you should replace them.

I bought it used. It still has factory warranty though, and I also have a warranty thru the stealership. I really wish I bought mine at a Nissan dealership though. Oh well. haha :

But more info on this recall please. Thanks.

that recal only aplies on low milage... you cant take worn out pads to the dealership and expect them to replace them for free

And the recall only works for one check (whether it's fixed or not). I've had them checked and serviced to try to get rid of my squealing noise and it didn't fix it so I took it back and was told that it's either my rotors (which aren't covered under warrentee) or my pads (which were still rated at 75% life - but not covered because I've had the service done on them already).
