Go to another dealer. The TSB is clear and you have the exact symptoms.

As far as I know, the TSB for brakes is for the TL, not the CL. You are probably going to have to either call around to find a dealer that will cover it for you under warranty or call Acura Customer Service and complain to them.

This bulletin board seems to have some weight when you call Acura CS...saying that there are many people with this same problem and people have been getting the TL repair done to their cars (thicker rotors and new pads)...and complain about the lame response from your service dept.

This is wrong...the TBS covers CL's also. Go to the dealer and mention the TBS and they have to fix it by resurfacing your rotors and giving you new brake pads.

Yeah man you should be able to get the front rotors resurfaced and/or replaced for free under warranty at your dealer (any dealer).

I got free front rotors and free front brake pads, but it might have just been a resurfacing except I know the tech and he made sure I got new stuff. If your dealer is trying to BS you about this, go somewhere else.

Re: Re: warped rotors

I had mine resurfaced ! But then bought some KVRs for the FRONT. They look Great. Give BOOMER a Call. He's selling FRONT BREMBOs--Cross-Drilled for 115 Shipped.

Check the Brembo Groupbuy in the Forum, his Numbers Posted there.

Good luck.
