The belt felt dry to me.

OK, so what about my fiancés '07 Nissan Sentra. Picked the car up from the dealership and first time I brake the car down the road it shakes and shutters like crazy. Rotors were warped from sitting in the lot and this car has 17 miles on the odometer. Would you insist on getting new rotors or settle for them turning the rotors? I got the latter even though I made a big deal about it.


That should've been new rotors... At least, I think so...

Oh, and while the truck was up on the lift I noticed the chrome trim on the front bumper wasn't flush with the painted white plastic bumper trim, it was way off in the middle, and on each end. it didn't look normal to me, so I told him to point that out to the dealer as well.
Sucks to hear about the situation. About the trim piece, they have to be lined up perfectly. I replaced my front chrome bumper and it is too far to the left, but Im leaving it because it is such a PITA to loosen all of the bolts and straighten it.

Can't beat free side steps :thumbs:

3" tubes or 6" ovals?
Not sure, hopefully ovals, doubt he'll know the difference anyway.

Yeah, I didn't think asking for new rotors was so far fetched.

Cool..yeah I'm confident this doesn't man the truck will end up being a lemon.


That sucks but it should be ok later.
Hopefully..thanks.

Thanks, yeah it's not that it's too far left or right, the space inbetween the painted top piece and lower chrome part of the bumper is not evenly spaced from one side to another, it's quite noticeable especially when it was up on the flat bed facing towards the rear.
