Brakes are covered for three years/36 k. Except for normal wear, but if it is uneven wear, then there isn't any reason for them not to replace them. Good luck, and be persistant.

Several GM cars I owned had the brakes replaced under warantees that were not documented, but existed. I think it related to excessive wear under 10,000 miles, or something like that. Nissan may have something similiar but not advertised. It may be worth a shot.

Nissan did have problems with brake pad material and they know it, They've come out with several updated brake pads lately, But getting them to kick down might not be that easy. Brake pad manufactures are being forced to go with organic materials, which is softer causing premature brake pads wear. Thank our govement for that.

Doesn`t Nissan(and many others) claim that by using a softer organic material, the rotors will last considerably longer, albeit the pads have to be changed frequently. The Cost will balance Out. I have no problem with that?

Ya they've had a lot of complaints about brake pad wear. It drives service managers crazy, cause they got to deal with the customer heat. They got to tell ya something?

Right on, I was sold on it and so others probably will It does sound feasible, considering you can change your own pads(if the rotors don`t have to be touched)in 40 minutes or less in your own garage.

I slam pads on my wifes sentra all the time without turning the rotors, As long as there not making noise, or they don't shimmy do to warped rotors, I don't worry about it. But, I always use factory pads and never have any problems.

i just rotated tires this weekend and inspected my brakes (read my post on 65-0 in this forum, those were original brakes).
i have half of my original pads left (i love haviing an outside micrometer)
remember most of my 32xxx miles were highway (Holbrook, AZ to Sante Fe, Rocky Point, San Diego (3 times), SLC (twice), Phoenix alot, and other towns from 100 to 200 miles away.
so not alot of braking. besides there are no stop lights in my town and only two in the next town, and all my stop sign around here are avoidable.
sorry cant help you but you CAN be our big brake upgrade guinea pig

probably run you about 1200.00 for nissan techs to fix your brakes.............500.00 for parts and labor and then 700.00 for you to fix the front bumper and repaint it after they fail the first week.
come on now you can rationalize that for us........

I said I would split with you so send me $25 bucks and that will be half. OK
