there is a huge difference in performance when switching from 87 to 93 and back.

i use 93 on road trips and 87 when my wife uses it as her soccer mom vehicle.

ok update!

wife and kids are back home with the car.

the dealer said that the warping was covered under the manufacturer's defect warranty and the brakes were resurfaced (cut).

my concern is if they were covered under the defect warranty, shouldn't they be replaced instead of cut? and shouldn't ...

the car has 18.5k now. and my wife is bringing it to a different dealer tomorrow b/c its closer and easier to get to...

what are my options?

The main problem is usually over torquing the lug nuts, and or not torquing at all. I torque lugs to 105FT. Lbs, I start with 50 FT Lbs, go in a star pattern, than increase to 105 ...

im praying that they cover this under warranty!

i was pricing rotors today... the EBC ones look nice but $220 a pop is nuts!

yikes...

i know that i don't ride the brake when i drive it, but the wife drives it 90% of the time and i really don't wanna watch her drive.

but i'll ask her! i guess i have to set up an appt with the stealer.

I noticed it after the 15k service from the stealer... maybe i shouldn't have waited ...

When I drive the Pathfinder at highway speeds and brake medium or hard, there is a vibration in the pedal and the steering wheel starts to vibrate or shake noticeably.

Is this a problem? Is this a normal thing that the ABS does and I've never noticed before? Can this issue be fixed under warranty ...
