So my battery indicator and my handbrake indicator keep coming on........

While I am driving, it seemed random at first but now it seems to happen when I get the brakes.

Any ideas, what it could be? Just some electrical short, or a bigger issue?

My battery light came on when my alt was going to die which it eventually did. If you have a 1st gen CL with a Delphi alt it's a pretty common problem. But all my lights came on, not just the brake one.

Busted regulator already in the Z? Squeaking and rattling occurred in my Accord too. They should be able to fix that.

This is the first major problem I have had with my Altima, otherwise she has been bulletproof.

They gave me a Murano to drive until it's fixed. I like this truck man, it's like driving my car if it was jacked up and had an auto-faggit transmission. I would definitely consider a Murano if i was in the market for a sporty SUV.

Muranos are nice... I like the FX more though, luxury sports SUV/SUT/Crossover whatever they're called these days, with that deep throaty exhaust.

You should like the FX more, just like you should like the M35 more than the Maxima.

That's why one is a luxury nameplate and one isn't, duuurrrrr.

As far as I'm concerned Murano is semi-luxurious considering it's price. The SUV does look smooth.
