Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Front rotors have failed three times within 60,000 and nissan says that this is due to driving habits, i.e., rotors get hot and then fail. reference # 4029350 perjudy ext. 3773. dealer has replaced rotors each time and i find no fault with dealer with the exception that they do not know what is causing this; other than the driving habits as expressed by the nissan rep. judy. this condition is dangerous and causes the car to be bounce with loss of control a very real possiblity. for the second replacement, a statement in the followup to nissan was made that this problem was serious. this vehicle is not driven in the city or under city conditions where brake pressure occurs often; the miles are highway miles as we live in the country; we have a paved road to the house so road conditions are not a factor. the response by nissan is a "run-around" with the same verbage and reflects the nissan rep's atttempt to defuse any complaint. in looking at the office of defects investigations, there are several references to rotor failure: nissan said that they were unaware of any problems. in fact, the nissan dealer (ancira-san antonio, tx) indicated that i should contact nissan concerning this situation. i did and am not satisfied the least with their runaround as i believe this to be a serious and dangerous condition of at least the vehicle which we have.
