Taking car to dealer

So heres a couple questions i have, and curious if anyone else is having the same issues. One of which i posted before.

1. Back in April i have the brake TSB done where they add a backing plate to add cooling to the brakes or something. Anyways when they did that they also turned my rotors, here we are a few months later and my rotors are warped already. Anyone have this issue. Im sitting on 20's not much heavier then stock and have never had this issue with anyone vehicle with bigger wheels.

2. Sunroof tilt makes grind sound. Dealer blames lowering and 20's as cause.

All this to me sounds like excuses not to fix anything.

1) Turned rotors warp easier than stock rotors
2) Dealer's on crack

I would buy a good set of aftermarket rotors and install yourself. You can get a nice slotted and drilled set cheap with pads and install for around $200.

1. Unless you track your car you won't warp your rotors, its the pads that are crappy they leave build up on the rotors causing the "warped" feel
2. The dealers retarded

1. I went through the same thing with my front brakes. The first time in they did the TSB but the second time Infiniti replaced the rotors.
Your 20" wheels are not the problem. Poor quality OEM rotors and pads, the fact that Infiniti cut costs by not including the shields on the front (Maximas have them) and unevenly torquing the lugs could all be part of the problem.

2. I mentioned it in your other sunroof thread, they shouldn't say such stupid things, go somewhere else but complain about them to Infiniti C.A.

1) Other have covered this completely

2) Ask who ever said that BS to please put it in writing. They will back away from it real fast.

So cars at dealers, they told me im kinda stuck with the sunroof deal. Something about its a kinda known issue and everytime u wash just wipe the seal with some silicone stuff. They dont blame the wheels or lowering on anything, and no car isnt tracked, daily driver. The mechanic drove the car and said it feels like the back is warped. Have them looking to see about maybe doing slotted/ drilled rotors.so we will see. On a side note they gave me a new FX35 as a loaner and i must say i love this thing, especially the stereo and how it looks and the options, i wanna figure out how to replace mine with the new stereo.
