I just hit 20k miles in 10 months. Yes it's a lot of driving, but it's driving with love. My rotors appear to be warped!!! everytime I slow down during highway driving I get a nice shimmying.

lucky me, that 3yr/36k warrenty had better work!

 

Worked for me. Although they busted my ***** about it. Here's how it went down:


Me: Hi, I'm Andy Logan, I'd like to check on the status of my car.
Service: Oh, yes, Mr. Logan, your rotors are definitely warped. Do you want us to go ahead and fix them for you?
Me: Absolutely. It IS under warranty.....right?
Service: Well, um, technically no. With that lowering kit you have on there, that adds undue stress on the rotors, which voids the warranty on the brake system completely.
Me: Really? That kit was bought from Stillen. Aren't you an authorized Stillen dealer (I point at the large Stillen sticker on the door to the parts department).
Service: Yes, we can custom order Stillen parts for you.
Me: When you sell those parts to your customers, do you tell them that it voids their warranty?
Service: Ummmmm, well....
Me: And I'm not trying to be a **** about this, but I'd really like to see some sort of literature that says that suspension modifications can directly affect brake systems.
Service: Let me go get the service manager for you. he's more familiar with this sort of thing.

10 minutes later

Service: (same guy)- Well, good news Mr. Logan- we are going to go ahead and honor the warranty for you this time only. We are remachining those rotors for you and replacing the pads. But we normally don't do this for customers, because with that kit on your car, the warranty is pretty much void.


I'm pretty sure about this one, but is ISN'T possible that a lowering kit could warp rotors....right?

 

Well the argument could be made that a stiffer suspension could put added stress on the wheels and subsequently the rotors. But is it likely...? I'd say no. You would need some pretty cheap a$$ rims that flexed a lot for this to ever be a problem.

 

biggest load of horsepucky I have ever heard. What could be next..that aftermarket water will affect da wipers?
Pretty classy way you handled this, BTW...I love the line of asking the idiot if they tell customers that Stillen add-ons will voild the warranty...LOL!!!

 

you'll love the feeling of the machined rotors.

 

Check out the group deals forum for the cross-drilled\slotted rotors from raceconcepts.com. $200 for front and rear rotors.

Sure it's cheaper to get them resurfaced under warranty, but they probably just warp again. The aftermarket rotors look cooler and perform better.

 

FWIW
I had to have my rotors machined at 800 miles on my 2K2

 

You have got to be kidding me!!! That is FU(K!NG CRAZY!!!

I would reach up, grab his fu(k!ng neck, and tell him he is full of ****! Make such a scene all the customers leave, that would cost him more $ than turning your rotors for you.

There was a Big O that I went to one time that lost alot of customers

 

If you don't want to be turning your rotors all the time get the Stillen or some type of aftermarket rotors up front.

 

I'd write a letter about this to the GM of the dealer and copy Nissan Consumer affrairs.

 

What's done is done. They took care of it. My warranty is up in 5K miles anyhow. I'll buy the Stillens when they go out again. Right now my main problem is struts. Arrgggh

 

You sure that is the right site? I went there and didn't see any rotors.

 

Did you check the group deals forum on maxima.org?

You can check raceconcepts.net, but that's pointless since the thread in the group deals forum has all the details.
