Ok I have been to the shop twice now because when I stop/brake the Max seems like it wants gun forward or stop but does not. I have a 1999 GLE with about 96K miles. Yesterday I was told that the brake was warped so it was replaced at the dealership yesterday but today the pulse seems to be worse Has anyone ever heard of something like this? If yes is there a real name for it? What else should I be looking for? Last time they said it might be the fuel injector and now the brakes but I am still having the same issue...after each service Frustrated so any expertise would be appreciated.

 

Is this real? In the past six months I have has this issue...when I brake my Max feels like it wants to gun forward or stop like a person gagging but nothing happens. Yesterday I was told my brake was warped and they replaced the brake but today it seems worse Can anyone give me some advice before I call the dealer back?

 

welcome to the org! What part of the brake did they replace? A warped rotor would cause something like this. I wouldn't go to a dealership, try a local mechanic they seem to know alot more.

 

check the run out on ur rotors, that is the only thing that can make your brakes pulse.

 

They replaced the Front disk pads and resurfaced the front rotors using a Pad kit and flushed the brake fluid.

This is on 1999 Maxima GLE...

 

I just changed the pads on mine and I could tell that the rotor were "out of round." SO check the run out on the rotors. FYI, I have the same car as you do. Since I'm going to start a new season of auto-x'ing I should go through the pads and rotors pretty quick. THen I'll change the rotors at the end of the season.

 

Did they do fron and rear or just front ? If they did only the front ones, guess what ? There may be a possibility to have the rear rotors warped...If they are the Oem ones ,with 96 k on them, thay may warp easy if they are at the thickness limit...
On the other hand, depends how good the tech that did your brakes is...Sometimes you need to cut the rotors more than once to obtain a nice clean cut ... However, if you had all 4 wheels done properly, the braking should be nice ,without any brake pedal vibration...They should fix the problem...

 

This helps alot They only did the front so I will do some follow-up...

Thanks again
