You were wise to order the Brembos. All your rotors are warped? Thats kinda hard when the fronts go first. Screw the dealer. Get some Axxis pads or Endless pads. OEM is average but $$$.

go bitch some more and you'll get new rotors NOT resurface your warrped ones.

I got new rotors and pads at 30k

i c ur in arcadea...which dealer did u go to.. i called metro acura and they also told me its not covered, however cerritos said they have to look at the car first.

Either way, covered or not, $230 is way too expensive for that work. The shop I take my car to charges me $15/rotor for resurfacing. I just had my brakes done (I drive the car hard, thus I brake hard), rotors resurfaced, and hand-brake tightened for $115

If you HAVE to do the service, take it to another shop, not Acura.

Hey bro, do you have an online album with pics of your car. I searched through the gallary, but couldn't find anything.
Thanx.

Can you tell me where i can get brembo for $55 each at ? Can these aftermarket rotors get warped? If they do get warped, can they be resurfaced?

I got new rotors and pads at 50073 miles!!

YuppieCL

i had my pads REPLACED and rotors REFINISHED UNDER WARRANTY after i complained about brake pulasation. they said there was a variation in rotor thickness.

blk_coupe

You definately need to call acura service"warranty department" My CL is current at the dealer right gettting new rotors and brake pads for free.

OUTRAGEOUS CL TYPE S

i didnt know brembo makes it for cl type s, i'm interested in purchasing it too, are they cross drilled and slotted.

On Brembo Group Buy: The name of the Dude "BOOMER" that's selling them has his number listed. Front Brembos, I don't believe he can get the REARS.

Cheers

My wife went to Oakland Acura yesterday to report the pulsing brake problem. They only resurfaced the rotor and didn't do anything else, according to the work invoice which didn't charge me anything due to warranty.

Should I call them back and press them to replace the rotor and brake pads? Or should I call the Acura warranty to complain? Will I get anywhere given that I already got the repair done? Any advice is appreciated.

Me too.

Do a search for the TSB! There are several copies of it here on the board!!! It says to change the brake pads to a different model number. The brake pads are the cause of the warping!!! Print up the TSB and take it with you and tell them you want new pads!!!!

Here is the TSB number. EricL had the actuall TSB posted, but it comes up as a RED X. I will PM him and see if he still has it.
Just tell them to look for TSB 10107. The dealer will know that you are serious.

Don't pay them to do it either!!!
I hope this helps you guji2 and oonowindoo. Keep us posted on how they treat you!!!

guji2

Thanks for the advice. Fortunately, I managed to save the image of the TSB on my hard drive. I am printing it out and I will contact Oakland Acura and have them replace the brake pads. Thanks.

guji2

Update: I called up Oakland Acura to complain about the brake pads not being replaced. I told them that on the work order form, it just says that the rotor was resurfaced which is just 50% of the warranty service per the TSB 01-017. According to the service person I spoke to, he claimed that he did replace the front brake pads but forgot to type it in on the work order form.

Do you think I should take his word for it? I don't know how I can get his claim verified. Doesn't it sound highly irregular for a service manager to forget to type in a major item like front brake pads on the work order form? Should I go to Acura of Pleasanton and have the warranty service done there? Will they do warranty service even if I got the same stuff done at Oakland Acura? Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

How many miles did you have on your car when you took it in??? If you got new pads, you should be able to look at them and tell, they will be a lot thicker depending on how many miles you had on the originals. Stick to Oakland Ac if it is close to you. If they really start treating you bad, then switch. Take a look at the pads and let us know what you think!!

Doom878

I would go to the other Acura dealership. Complain of some brake noise or pulsating. He will check it out and say something like "You have new rotors and pads and I didn't hear anything," or "You need new pads, that'll be $143252435.42" and take the car and bitch at the original dealer.

guji2

I have about 27000 miles on my car.

I am not sure how I am supposed to check the brake pads. I am somewhat car illiterate, if you know what I mean. I did take a look at the front rotor and brake but I have no idea what I'm looking for - if there are pics or instructions, I can probably get the info I need without having to go to the dealer.

Acura of Pleasanton is about the same distance as Acura of Oakland from my residence. I'll probably set up an appointment with Pleasanton and try to get them to check the rotor and brake pads. Should I mention that I would like them to verify the warranty work at Oakland Acura or do the dealers stick together or something?

Keep the advice coming, guys! It's quite helpful! Thanks.

AcuraTLSFan

Well to check them you can probably can't look pass ur rims, so u have to take off the whell, and dismantle the brake caliper to take a look at the pads

Doom878

I'm in the same boat. No matter how many times my friends tell me I cannot understand how to tell pad wear. But I think with the stock CL wheel, at the right angle you can see the pad wear without taking it off.

Don't mention any recent work. He might give you a more accurate answer. For example if the pads were changed and he's honest then he'll tell you "We checked all over but we cannot find any problems. We tested the car and it seems to brake fine and the rotors and pads were recently changed." Or he might tell you "Change your pads." when they are in fact new. I know either way you possibly can get screwed, I guess it's how you read the guy. That's why we're here.
