| Description of the problem | At 13k miles, when traveling over 50 mph and i step on the brake, the steering wheel and front end judders violently. This has caused much concern and worry. However, when i took my car to the dealer i was told that the rotors could be "machined down to a smooth finish at my expense of $120. 00". I asked why it wasn't covered under my warranty and was told, "because it's considered maintenance." for a new car - 2004, under 30k miles that is bull and nissan should fix the problem! *nm |
