| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Warped rotors resurfaced once 18,000 miles ago because of heavy vibration in steering on braking (close to loss of control of car). experiencing same problem again and dealer claims it's due to drive habits and refuses to service under extended warranty. the warped rotors causes you to have to pump the brakes to slow the car down which would explain the wear on the brake due to defective rotors. i do mostly highway driving so brakes not used extensively. need to look at the possibility that some component is causing the rotors to overheat and warp and not a result of heavy braking. spouse experiencing same problem on 2002 pathfinder with 22,000 miles. please investigate as i think this is a widespread problem that nissan is trying to attribute to the consumers' drive habits. let's not wait for severe injury to occur before taking action.*ak |
