I don't want to call a dealership and end up arguing with them, or run into service desk ladies or techs who don't know what the hell I'm talking about when I mention the TSB 01-017. The symptom is evident- a distinct vibration throughout the car when brakes are applied.

Especially with my car being out of warranty, I was wondering if there's anyone on the forum who's gotten the service done AT NO CHARGE HASSLE FREE.

The dealerships I'm aware of around here are
Acura of Pasadena
Sierra Acura of alhambra

Cush Acura San diego

 

my sister took her CL-S in to Cerritos Acura due to the vibrations when braking...they fixed it under warranty with no questions asked....turned the rotors and new pads. its a 2001 CL-S with a little over 20k miles.

 

i need to do that too!!! but my car is almost 30k and it's 2001 TL. u think i could use that?? (new pads and turn rotors?)

 

TL/CL... same deal.

 

recommendations PLEASE!!!

 

I have had a great relationship with South Coast Acura in Costa Mesa. Ask for Sean Cooperrider.

 

i went to cerritos acura and they told me if your car is still warranty and has more than 50% brake left they'll do it. but my car had 30k miles so couldn't do it.

 

I doubt very seriously that any dealer is going to apply TSB to a car that has 100,000 miles on it. If you got that amount of mileage out of a set of brakes (especially Acura CL) you should be praising Acura, not trying to get something for nothing. YMMV

 

Andy - You're probably not going to find a dealer that would do that for you at 100k miles. Best bet is to buy some new rotors. I would recommend talking to Sherwin at Brakezone in Van Nuys. I think it's $60-65 per rotor cross-drilled/slotted.

 

I got it done the first time at Weir Canyon for free. But the second time they won't do it. Neither will Tustin and Mission Viejo.

I had to shell out $160 for them to turn the rotors.
