I read the post about problems with premature brake wear. I have the same problem on my 2006 Spec V. The front rotors were resurfaced at 8,000 miles and now at 24,000 are ready for new rotors.


Do you know the cause in general as it seems to be a design flaw on all these cars. Maybe rotors are too small for the Brembo brakes causing overheating and premature rotor wear?  Has anyone diagnosed and determined the problem yet?

As to lemon laws: premature brake wear that is not solved after reasonable attempts made during the warranty period at the dealer would fall under the lemon laws even though brakes are wear items that are replaced as maintenance. The difference is that PREMATURE WEAR is a lemon law issue. But at the dealer they usually say brake wear i not covered, you have to see a lemon aw lawyer and go thru the MANUFACTURER (basically arguing the a problem with design or manufacture by Nissan North America, the dealer is just the retail sales level and an independent dealer).     There are presumptions that the car is a lemon based on the problems and number of attempts to correct it w/o success. Resurfacing rotors doesn't SOLVE the cause of the PREMATURE WEAR, as they just wear again. Anyway, you shouldn't accept a resurface jobon a car under warranty; a resurface is not an ideal repair and even weakens the rotors ability to absorb heat which will likely accelarate the premature wear even more!

ANY COMMENTS PLEASE????

I am at this time consulting with lemon lawyers
