I know someone posted Nissan is using soft pads and if anything the pads are going to need to be replaced sooner. Do you think that could be having an effect on the rotors warping? Perhaps more pressure is being exerted causing perhaps excessive heat that may be causing the rotors to warp? Jeep Grand Cherokees are notorious for that.
I purchased my truck last week and have noticed alot of brake dust as well. My '02 Tundra didn't have this dust issue. However we used to own an '01 Sentra with the same brake dust build up. I was constantly cleaning her wheels. No brake issues with the car though. I just assumed it was the type of pad Nissan uses. Now after reading this I'm more concerned.
