BRAKE ROTORS WARPED AFTER 20,000 MILES. I HAVE HAD THEM REPLACED 3 TIMES BECAUSE THEY WERE TOO WARPED TO TURN. *LA

THE FRONT ROTORS WARP ABOUT EVERY 12,000 MILES. EACH TIME, THE DEALER HAS EITHER REPLACED OR RE-SURFACED THE ROTORS. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT, AND NISSAN HASN'T CORRECTED THE ISSUE. SO FAR, MY ROTORS HAVE BEEN SERVICED 4 TIMES, AND NOW COMING ON NUMBER 5. *LA

EVERY FIFTEEN THOUSAND MILES FRONT BRAKE ROTORS HAVE TO BE REPLACED DUE TO WARPING. CONSUMER OWNS TWO OF THE SAME VEHICLES, BUT DIFFERENT YEARS, BOTH EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM. *AK

WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED THE VEHICLES FRONT END VIBRATES. THIS CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE BECAUSE THE VIBRATION IS SO SEVERE. THERE IS A TIS BULLETIN FOR THE BRAKES NTB00-088A. TS *JG

I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND RIGHT AROUND 17K MILES FRONT END BEGAN TO SHAKE WHEN I BRAKED AT 70 TO SLOW DOWN IT CONTINUED TO GET WORSE SO I TOOK IT IN AROUN 20K MILES ROTARS WERE WARPED THEY TURNED THEN I SAID OK IT IS VERY EARLY FOR THESE ROTORS TO GET WARPED SO EARLY BUT DEALER OFFERED NO EXPLANATION. NOW AT 30000 I AM BACK IN FOR THE SAME REASON THE CAR VIBRATES VIOLENTLY AT HIGH SPEEDS IF I BREAK TO STOP MY NEIGHBOR HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AT 20K MILES. I ALSO HAVE THIS GRAONING NOISE COMING FROM MY BRAKES WHEN I BRAKES AT LOW SPEEDS THE NOISE IS ALMOST LIKE WHAT ONE WOULD HEAR IF THE ROTARS WERE SLIPPERY AND THE PADS WERE TRYING TO GRIP IT. I AM NOT SURE WHAT THE DEALER WILL DO TODAY BUT I ASKED THEM TO REPLACE IT AND NOT TURN THE ROTARS EVERYTIME WE TURN THEM THEY LOOSE MASS. I ALSO TOLD THEM THAT I DON'T WANT TO BE BACK IN ANOTHER 5-10K MILES. WHAT AFTER THE WARRANTY I DON'T WANT A BREAK JOB EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS @ $30K THESE CARS BETTER HAVE BREAKS THAT LAST BUT MORE IMPORTANT THAN THAT THERE MAY BE A SAFETY ISSUE HERE IT IS NOT PLEASANT TO EXPERIENCE THE VIBRATIONS AT HIGH SPEEDS WHEN ONE IS TRYING TO SLOW DOWN IT COULD END UP CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. THX SO MUCH!!!*AK

VEHICLE WAS SHAKING WHEN APPLYING BRAKES, CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE INTO DEALER, AND DEALER ROTATED THE ROTORS. 5OO0 MILES LATER, BRAKES HAD TO BE REPLACED. SOON AFTER THAT VEHICLE WAS BACK IN SHOP TO GET BRAKES REPLACED AGAIN.*AK CONSUMER STATED FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WERE WARPED*SLC

WHILE DRIVING 55-65MPH AND APPLYING BRAKES VEHICLE WOULD VIBRATE. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP, AND INDICATIION WAS THAT ROTORS WERE WARPED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT ANY MPH COULD STEP ON BRAKES PEDAL TO STOP OR TO SLOW DOWN, BUT BRAKES WILL NOT OPERATE. COULD FEEL PEDAL PULSING. HAD TAKEN VEHICLE FOR REPAIRS BEFORE ON PADS AND ROTORS. CURRENTLY, SAME REPAIR NEEDED TO BE DONE.*AK
