I would like to know how often you guys go through Break Pads and How often do you Cut your Rotors? Is it necessary to cut the rotors every time one gets new pads? Is it normal to need new pads after 14K when 80% is highway miles??
Last q, can after 14K the pads wear out so much as to cause Rotor warping? (which is what the dealer is claiming at does not want to do the TSB...)

Any input appreciated.

I don't know about tha Max, but my Sentra had close to 100K miles on it and I changed pad at around 70K miles. The roator was warped a couple of times though...

 

Erik tell the dealer he's MYDAK. Just dont mention the TSB and tell them your breaks dont work, they squeel, the pedal doesnt feel right, whatever. At 14K miles they must fix it (brakes are covered til 36K mi)they should make it right, whatever they decide to do.

Mine was at 12K miles and they resurfaced the rotors at first, and brakes felt the same. I came back and demanded to make it right. He wanted to resurface again, but I demanded rotors to be replaced. By resurfacing, they take they layer off, decreasing the lifespan of rotors.

YDACHI!

 

mine are pretty bad. . .38K, i'm getting new stillen rotors and axxis pads. . .damn that sux! ! !only exactly 2 yrs old to the day. ..

 

When replacing the brakes, i always get the rotors cut because i heard that not cutting them is like taking a shower and putting the same underwear back on. My brakes normaly last me about 14K, but it seems to go quicker than that

 

The prob is, I have 33K now. When I was in the teens, I had break judder and did not know what it was, did not know about the TSB. So at 19K teh dealer told me regular wear and tear, and I got new pads and cut rotors, and I PAID It came back soon, but mostly at high speeds, over 70, so did not bother me much. But I figured it has to be the TSB thing and have been trying to get the dealer to do it since the summer. And no luck! Now that my pads are 14K miles old, he is telling me that they wore out and cause the warped rotors, which were warped before!! What can I do? I do not want to pay $180 to have it come back and have my warranty up in 3K miles...

 

WTF
When did the maxima get breaks?

 

choose another dealer.. or call Nissan Customer Relations.

First off, you should demand a refund on the previous brake job (to the dealer).. that was covered by the TSB. Once you've driven that point home, you can tell them to do what you want (and is covered anyway) and you will drop the refund request. if that doesnt work, start calling nissan.. bug them, they will tell the dealer to do it.

Honestly, I'd try another dealer.

 

Spelling needs to be changed to BRAKE

All this time i been trying to figure out breaks, like break period or break from .org, or something from the subject.
