I think they are warped. When I brake at high speeds, they feel kind of wobbly. Did someone get it replaced yet? Can you give me some advise.
Thank you.

warped rotors?

The cheapest thing u can do is put cross drilled or slotted rotors in as a replacement. Be sure to use good pads like Axxis, Repco, or Metal Masters. U will notice much less brake fade. If ur the kinda nut, like me, that likes to brake from 100+ mph, then u might wanna consider a braking system upgrade (Stillen, Brembo). Mucho $$$$ though. Good luck.

The dealer sometimes says "Oh, this is a rare situation! I havent seen a 5th gen like this yet! I think this is your doing sir owner, not a defect."

Best thing, get the TSB, Run your maxima around the neighborhood, hose the rotors (Hot rotors w/ water thrown on them warp), tell him you park on flat land, and demand new ones. Dont let them machine the rotors. Or maybe this is a crazy idea.

I used the TSB and the dealer replaced the rotors without a hassle.
