[altimafever]

i have an 09 altima sedan 2.5s it has 19,569 miles on it and i looked at my front driver side rotor i have an deep line on my rotor, is that normal, 2 weeks ago i went to the dealer cuz when i brake hard i felt grinding and vibration so the dealer shave an inch off my rotor and now i looked today i have lines encrave, so my question is that normal at almost 20,000 miles? any help is appreciated thanks in advance

It does not sound normal. It would be better if you posted a picture.

there something like that too but they is a single deep scoring, i went to the dealer this morning and the tech told me it was a hard spot on my pad, i just wanted to see wat everyone think bout it, i will post pic tomorrow

Sometimes if a rock or something else gets wedged between the rotor and the pad it will cause it, or a defect in the pad.

Only way to fix it would be to replace the pad and rotor, or fix the rotor like they did and replace the pad. I am curious why they did not replace the pad in the first place. Kinda stupid.. lol

Well first it was vibration when i stop at a high speed i brought it to the dealer and they shaved off and inch on my rotor, i asked them is that normal for a 20,000 mile car, and they told me it happens...i was like wtf! then a week later i heard a clink noise when i turned so i went back to work and looked at my wheel i saw a deep line in my rotor, i asked them if a rock got wedge inside the pad and rotor, they told me no it just a hard spot on my pad and it will even out, i think they dont want to do any work on it cuz its still under warrantee.

I sometimes brake hard cuz i live where there not alot of street lights, so sometimes it hard to calucate where the turns are and brake hard, but i never had this problem before. I thought the warrantee covers rotor pads etc....under a certain mile on a car, like mine it's only have 20,000 miles on it.
