This is the 3rd time I have taken my car to Nissan service center for a very annoying squicking sound that the front brakes starting doing after. Original rotors are the worst quality ever!! Not to mention the service center that wants to hide the fact that this is an ongoing issue with this type of car and model (Altima). Service Center mechanics have manage to screw up and machined the rotors so bad, and have the nerve to tell me now that I have to get new ones. I am very unhappy about this and I hope Nissan does a rotor recall to fix this situation.
