Just got brand new front rotors and pads replaced under warranty , but it doesnt stop as good as before. There is no bite. Can anyone tell me an why. Any feedback will be highly appreciate.

 

Mayb they were used?

 

New rotors and pads need a little time to wear. In the beginning, they'll feel really soft.

 

^^agreed

 

yup

 

cause ur car still under the brake warrenty!

 

500 miles..then they will feel / work better

 

Thanks everyone for the feedback.

 

how many miles are the brakes and rotors under warranty for?


(I just got my little I-valuation thingy and my brakes were at like 7 mm and 8 mm and I have almost 5000 miles, got my car in Nov. also....)

 

Depends what kinda of warranty you have from what i heard.

 

well I have whatever warranty comes with the car when you buy it new

and I bought the wheel/tire/door ding/windsheild protection plan also but I know that has nothing to do with the brakes or rotors

 

IIRC only the '03-'04 non-brembo brakes are covered under warranty for the 3yr/36k miles. Within that coverage the warranty will replace the rotors and pads if they reach the wear limit for free.

To the OP, since you now have brand new rotors and pads you have to let them break in for a few hundred miles. A faster way to do the break in process is to do what is called "bedding-in" your brakes.

Here's a good read on what that's all about.

Thanks dklau33, u hits the nail on the head! I have a 04 coupe with 19000 miles and the rotors has lip on it. Per srvc advisor, its normal. I told him to let the mechanic take a look at it anyways.

 

the brakes need time to run in
