Okay guys, here's another Dan post...
Way back when I bought a new 2004 Nissan Titan 4x4 pickup truck, it was a new product line for '04. You know what they say, don't buy a first year vehicle, but this truck was kick butt and had an awesome Rockford Fossgate 13 speaker with sub system. Other than the lack luster economy, about 12 mpg, the truck was a very nice and dependable truck, and did I mention the kick butt factory sound system???
Well very early on Nissan found out they had undersized the front rotors and calipers. The rotor warped badly and the brake would vibrate back through the pedal, they called this brake judder. Anyway they came out with all sorts of letters etc about the problem, but the fix was not handled very well.
If you had brake problems, and everyone eventually did, it was required that you go through three (3), yes three rotor turnings and new pads BEFORE they would upgrade you to new larger rotors and calipers.
So you had to go in three times for a "fix" and then wait for the final good parts to be installed. Luckily the final fix did a good job and we had no problems afterwards.
Back in '08 thru about '12 with Harley and their compensator issues, if you had a problem you got the same comp put back in. When they came out with their new SE (Screamin' Eagle) performance comp, you still got the old one under warranty. This was even after they started to put the SE comps on their CVO production bikes. Eventually if you yelled load enough to the factory they would do a special allowance and do the upgrade for you. I've read of many guys having to PAY to have the SE comp put in under warranty to replace an old style comp.
Lucky or not, I've not had any comp issues and my bike is now out of warranty. So at some point I'm figuring I'll have to cough up the money to do a new SE comp.
For right now, this seems very similar to MMC and their policy of replacing with the same undersized crap that won't last.
