Air Brake Disc Rotor Problems of Nissan Maxima

My 2003 Nissan Maxima gxe continues to warp rotors. I have replaced the rotors on my vehicle 3 times while the car still has under 45,000 miles. This is disappointing as I feel Nissan has not lived up to their mistakes in purchasing thin rotors. I can provide paper work on the replaced rotors. I no longer feel safe in a 25,000 car that I purchased. I request NHTSA submit a recall for Nissan to fix these rotors. I have spoken to other Nissan owners who have had the same issues. The rotors warp prematurely on these vehicles.

Front rotors have failed three times within 60,000 and Nissan says that this is due to driving habits, I. E. , rotors get hot and then fail. Reference # 4029350 perjudy ext. 3773. Dealer has replaced rotors each time and I find no fault with dealer with the exception that they do not know what is causing this; other than the driving habits as expressed by the Nissan rep. Judy. This condition is dangerous and causes the car to be bounce with loss of control a very real possiblity. For the second replacement, a statement in the followup to Nissan was made that this problem was serious. This vehicle is not driven in the city or under city conditions where brake pressure occurs often; the miles are highway miles as we live in the country; we have a paved road to the house so road conditions are not a factor. The response by Nissan is a "run-around" with the same verbage and reflects the Nissan rep's atttempt to defuse any complaint. In looking at the office of defects investigations, there are several references to rotor failure: Nissan said that they were unaware of any problems. In fact, the Nissan dealer (ancira-san antonio, TX) indicated that I should contact Nissan concerning this situation. I did and am not satisfied the least with their runaround as I believe this to be a serious and dangerous condition of at least the vehicle which we have.

Bought the Maxima new and at 12000 miles had to have the rotors turned. The dealer and Nissan said it was my driving habits. I promptly told them that this is the first car I had this done to (other than a used 74 vega I had in high school). Now the car is at 22,000 miles (and is only a little over 3 years old) and the vibration is back. The first time they turned the rotors it cost me $120 (but after complaining to Nissan they gave me a &100 service credit). But I have to do it again and think that it is certainly not my driving habits thar are causing this. And the commercials they had promoted this car as some kind of sports car ('cars like it - 0') driving very fast on the salt lakes where speed records are set. My problem was I believed the commercial. Other than this I am happy with the car, but am considering replacing the rotors with some other manufacturer's if that is possible.

The car has a strong vibration in the front end when the brakes are applied. The noise started as a mild thumping feel in the brake pedal. We first reported this to the dealership in which we purchased the car. The report was made in June 2001. We were told that the rotors were glazed at 8000 miles and that a charge of $120 was required. We strongly disagreed with this diagnosis. For the most part we drove the car locally below 40 mph. As we have been driving the vehicle more and more frequently on the highway at 50-65 mph the vibration has gotten worse. The rotors are warped and are getting worse the more the car is driven. After reading similar NHTSA complaints that described the exact same problem my concerns heightened since my wife uses this car to transport our young children. Mr.
