I have a 2001 Nissan Maxima and was told the rotors in the back are rusted and the back calipers are stuck and are not moving. I've had no problems braking and the front brakes are fine. To replace the rotors, calipers, and pads in the back costs about $850 in NJ. Should I repair this immediately because its a serious safety issue or can it be fixed later on?

Hi there,

Poor and insufficient braking force is a serious issue, under emergency braking you will have a serious problem, ask your self this question, would you like that car heading toward you to have faulty brakes? get them fixed as a priority.
