Because resurfacing a rotor is cheaper than replacing pads and rotors! Also do you trust every BS the dealership feed you? They once told me my trailer hitch was the reason why my TPMS lit up and why I have fuel starvation. As someone else noted, the quiet pads Nissan put on the car makes it easy to leave deposits behind.
Maybe it's me, I see more steering lock failures than rotor replacement/resurface threads.
Sorry we are not responsible for your bad luck.
Also judging by the resale value of Japanese vehicles and American vehicles, I would say most don't agree with you that American cars hold up better.

I don't know what's going on, I just know that they turned my rotors last time and that fixed the issue for 7K miles, and when they turned them, they took twice as much off of the left-front because they said even after turning it once, they still hadn't gotten a clean surface on it and needed to turn it again.
If that's not the definition of warped, then what is?
I don't know the definition of what's going on other than: Pathetic product.

This is just sitting in a parking lot. It gets me weird looks sometimes. Yes, Nissan looked at it, went over everything, told me their tech-line says "it's the nature of the car". Really? I doubt that very much...):

and was told all this **** was normal...maybe you would be pissed to, or maybe you are just used to crap out of Japan and don't know what it's like to own a car that isn't made of ******* tissue paper. I have, and I do, and this car sucks in the "holds up" department. Everywhere else, I love it, but seriously? It's fail. |
