As planned. Nissan worked on the brakes today and at 1,304 miles the front rotors were starting to warp. They did not replace the rotors but did resurface them. Pads were also replaced. As I understood it, the service rep was telling me that there is a design flaw that can cause the calipers to overheat which result in a misalignment of the pads against the rotor and over time warps the rotor. This flaw is especially prone to any type of braking that causes extra heat build up (i.e., hard braking, emergency stops, downhill braking). Although there is a TSB out, they were told by Nissan that engineers are still working on the brakes to find a better fix. They told me to bring it in again if the brake judder returns or the pedal becomes mushy again (like I needed to be told that).
