Rotors issuse

Location
NYC
Bought my 06 fx from Legacy Infiniti here in NY. 2months later my rotors sounded crazy wen braking. I thought the pads were done but they arent. is there a tsb regarding this? Should I get it fixed at Legacy (i know they will charge me) or will the tsb take care of me (if its real)
 
I'm having the same problem I bought my wife's 06fx 35 from legacy on feb5 and by march 3 I was already making a service appointment they said I warped the rotors and wanted to charge me $115 to cut my drivers side rotor I argued and they brought it down to $50 which is a deal according to them so after they cut the rotor in was good for 1day I'm making a service appointment with another dealership very soon
 
warped? check your pads for movement, they might be worn. If you have OEM rotors dont cut them thr problem will come back, buy aftermarket premium rotors, such as centric blanks, or even brembo blanks from ebay.
 
Go to rotorpros and get all new drilled and slotted rotors and pads on all four corners for 275.00 shipped. Problem solved, they use centric blank s and posiquiet pads. The stock rotors are junk in my opinion.
 
I had the same issue. Pulsating while braking. Tried cutting once and it came back. Imo cutting/resurfacing is a waste of time and money. Installed rotorpro drilled and slotted in the front with centrics in the back. Ceramic pads all around and viola! Straight as an arrow. I just ordered EBC yellow stuff pads all around for the next time I change them which might not be too long with the 24's Im running now but overall im satisfied with the quality and difference in braking from OEM equipment. Not to mention meineke only charged me 80 bucks to install my parts. Go with aftermarket parts. Youll be happier and save money.

I have to disagree with you on turning rotors being a waste of time I did my own on car turn back in 2010 and have had 0 issues since and they still look like new and no squeel whatsoever.After having them "ON CAR TURNED" there is a break in procedure (Bed In)that if not done could cause the pads to become glazed.

On Car Rotor Turning is the recomended method because any rotor runnout caused by dirt or rust between the hub and rotor mating surfaces is eliminated. On Car Rotor Turning is the most efective and exact method of turning rotors. However if you do take the Rorors off to tutn them I would highly recomend match marking them and reinstall to exact same position on the hub that they were.

Bedding Procedure can vary some depending on the type of pads you are using but all new brakes need to be properly bedded to avoid issues. For OEM this is how I did it---------------

It is VITAL that you bed the pads in correctly or they will not work right.
First off be sure to pump the pedal a few times so you get full pressure back..
Now go out and make about 10- (30 to 40mph-almost 0 stops) , ideally you would like to not come to a complete stop. Apply slightly over half pressure. Just stop most the way but while your doing the bedding process, NEVER come to a complete stop with your foot on the brake. After you do that, let the brakes cool for a few minutes, and then do a few 60+ to zero stops applying moderate (say 75% pressure).It is best that you do not be really hard on the brakes for 100 miles or so to allow them to break in.If you are hard on the brakes during this time you can glaze the rotors causing unwanted vibrations. Best practice is to avoid real hard stops for first 400 miles.

Here's how I did my own OEM "On Car"rotor turn----
