No, I sleep all day. I didn't watch them, but multiple dealerships collaborated. Both gtr techs in the area made it their pet project and measured everything with tq wrenches and micrometers and...

700 miles. I can't say I honestly think anything is wrong yet. Nissan is working to pay me the $340 back for the rotors/pads. The service manager I have been dealing with is..."no longer with us...

Not sure if it's fixed. I got a slight shake on the freeway this morning. I'm not sure if it was bad pavement, or the beginning of the same issue. This is how it happened last time. I've been driving...

Rotors and pads. To me, it looks like the swept surface of the rotors have little ridges in them (normal, not a defect), and I don't remember them being like that when my car was new (I detailed the...

Got the car back, it felt smooth as glass so far, and they put about 300 miles on it, averaging about the same MPG as I do, so it looks like they drove it about like I do, as best I can tell. For...

Dealership service manager spoke to the area Nissan rep, who then spoke to me. I believe it likely they will reimburse me for again putting Nissan pad/rotors on the car. However, they won't do so...

My car is a year old and this started at less than 12/12. Factory warranty should cover it.

I have never tracked my car, gotten engine temp above 225, or smelled the brakes, even. It should NOT do this!

Apparently the dealership ordered rear pads instead of front pads. The wait continues. I am enjoying my Altima loaner car. It's very nice in comparison to the atomic sybian that was my 370Z. Anyway,...

I feel like I am. Nissan cannot completely ignore a service manager when he claims there is a safety issue with a braking system. That's bad juju.

2 days ago, I traded with my service manager for an Altima loaner car. It happened after hours and he took my 370Z home, and then to work the next day for work/evaluation.

I stopped by today to...

I'm not going to hurt any profits or reputations in any way until Nissan completely shuts me out, which I hope won't happen. At that point, it will be vengeance for having to trade out of a '12 car,...

Small Claims would cover the pads/rotors.

Still, this is putting the cart before the horse until I speak with the Nissan area rep. I have left several succinct messages.

I have some records. I presume that a good lawyer could subpoena them. Probably wrong to have assumed on my part.

Like the Stoptech pads I had? That lasted a couple hundred miles on Z1 slotted rotors. Or do you mean I need to install $300 race pads just to drive to work?
