Hi, i brought a 2010 Nissan Sentra brand new and only had it for about 2yrs i have an extended warranty on it. . . but i've been having problems sense i got it, everytime i push the brake pedal i hear a squeaking/scraping noise even if i have my car in reverse to back out. as i'm turning the steering wheel it's making noise.everytime i take it to the dealer to get checked out they make a fuss about there's nothing wrong with it. my fuel guage reads incorrect fuel i can fill it up and within a little time of driving it i'll be at about an half of tank. also if i'm driving and i get at 70mph or 80mph the steering wheel begins to shake what it wrong with my car???

The brake noise may be hot spots on the rotors, a light machining can often fix this and fit new pads,a faulty fuel tank sender can cause the fuel reading to act up, the steering shake can often be a tyre related problem, get them balanced and rotated, depending on the type of noise in the steering it may just be a belt or a faulty pressure of loader valve in the pump.

i think something is wrong with the car they replaced my pads and after a few days it was back making the same noise again, and is still making the noise till this day. i dont understand how a brand new car can have so many problems like this. . .

did they check the rotors for hot spots, these are imperfections in the castings that are very hard and can cause this problem, a light machining may remove them, if this is the case, just doing the pads will not fix it.
