SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
BRAKE ROTOR WARPING ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP BY MANY OWNERS. ROTORS WERE TURNED AND IT NEEDS IT AGAIN 2500 MILES LATER. I REQUESTED THAT THE ROTORS BE REPLACED BUT REQUEST WAS DENIED. IT SEEMS THAT THE BRAKING SYSTEM ON THE FRONT OF THE ARMADA IS NOT SUFFICIENT FOR THE VEHICLE WEIGHT. I AM GOING TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN AGAIN FOR THE SAME SERVICE THIS TIME DEMANDING THAT THE ROTORS BE REPLACED. NISSAN SHOULD BE FORCED TO CHANGE THE SIZE OF THE BRAKE ROTORS, PADS, ENTIRE SYSTEM IF NECESSARY. *JB
