Either way, it's not dust, it's a warped rotor. If it were just dust, it wouldn't have taken a ton of metal being removed to fix the left front rotor, and just a quick clean-up for the sake of it on the right. ____ I tried re-bedding them the first time, 6 hard stops from 60, 4 from 80, drove around on the freeway until the rotors cooled off, never came to a complete stop. It only exacerbated the problem. This time? It's going straight to the dealership for a new left-front rotor. Last edited by ImportConvert; 02-25-2013 at 08:58 AM. |

You need to do way better than that, a couple stops from 80 is nothing. Also when you resurface rotor, you are essentially removing metal from it and making them less effective.

Anyway, you're right, which is why I want them to replace the LEFT FRONT ROTOR. If it were just deposits, both rotors up front would have had a problem, they didn't, just the left front. Right front just took a light clean-up, left front had to be turned twice for it to be true. I'm going to get the rest of my car (TPMS sensor, rear bumper) fixed at the body shop today, and deal with the brakes tomorrow. I doubt they will argue about replacing the rotor, considering it did the same thing at 10K miles and they said it was so bad off it needed to be turned twice, I think an argument for factory defect can be made, in the case of that rotor. Why isn't the right rotor messed up? Yeah... Why is this an issue for me? It feels like crap turning into a corner when the weight shifts to the left-front. To me, that's an issue. Will it make the car handle worse/less safe? Nah, but screw that. Even my old 5.0 from 1988 had less shudder when I got on the brakes, I don't feel like I am getting what I paid for, and I doubt Nissan will argue.
