These aren't track pads. These are not track rotors. That is plenty sufficient to have cleaned up anything, if it WAS to be cleaned up, doing the above. Anyway, it's a moot point, **** should not have to be done on 10K mile old brakes when they did fine previously, and then again at 17K miles after they did fine after being fixed at 10K. I could understand if they were not right from the get-go, but this is a problem and it needs fixing, and re-bedding the brakes isn't the way, IMO, given what was found last time (one rotor needed turning twice as much as the other).

Anyway, you're right, which is why I want them to replace the LEFT FRONT ROTOR.

If it were just deposits, both rotors up front would have had a problem, they didn't, just the left front. Right front just took a light clean-up, left front had to be turned twice for it to be true.

I'm going to get the rest of my car (TPMS sensor, rear bumper) fixed at the body shop today, and deal with the brakes tomorrow. I doubt they will argue about replacing the rotor, considering it did the same thing at 10K miles and they said it was so bad off it needed to be turned twice, I think an argument for factory defect can be made, in the case of that rotor. Why isn't the right rotor messed up? Yeah...

Why is this an issue for me? It feels like crap turning into a corner when the weight shifts to the left-front. To me, that's an issue. Will it make the car handle worse/less safe? Nah, but screw that. Even my old 5.0 from 1988 had less shudder when I got on the brakes, I don't feel like I am getting what I paid for, and I doubt Nissan will argue.
