Nissan Altima brakes generally consist of front disc brakes and rear disc or drum brakes, depending on the model year and trim. The front brakes are typically power-assisted vented discs, while the rear brakes can be either solid discs or drum brakes, with some models offering disc brakes on all four wheels. The Altima also features advanced safety technologies like Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection.

Found on the front wheels of most Altimas, and sometimes on the rear, they provide superior stopping power and heat dissipation compared to drum brakes.
May be found on the rear wheels of some Altima models, especially older or lower trim levels. They are generally less expensive than disc brakes.
Made of a friction material that presses against the brake rotor to slow the vehicle. They are a wear item and need periodic replacement.
Also known as brake discs, they are the surfaces that the brake pads press against to create friction and slow the vehicle. They can warp or wear down over time.
Hold the brake pads and apply pressure to the rotor when the brakes are applied.
Helps prevent wheel lock-up during hard braking, improving steering control.
Nissan brake pads typically last between 30,000 and 70,000 miles, but this can vary depending on driving habits.
May be needed when brake pads are replaced, especially if the rotors are warped or worn thin.
Rear brake pads may wear down faster than front pads on some Altima models, particularly those with rear-wheel drive.
Dashboard warning lights (ABS or BRAKE) can indicate brake system issues.
