I had the same problem with my 1998 Nissan Maxima SE. The rotors were
warped from the factory. I put 36k miles on it in one year. I took it back
where I bought it and told them that I wanted the rotors replaced under
warranty. If they would not do it, I told them just put it in writing and
I would take it up with the factory representive. They replaced the rotors
and like a fool I paid them for new brake pads. Just remember, that rotors
don't last forever. You can cut them one or two times and time for new
ones. You can get new rotors for about $50.
Depending how the dealership treats you on this, find a new place to get
your car fixed. A good service manager will eat this to keep you as a good
customer.
