Took my 03 TL in for warping and picked it up the next day. When I got home my front left brake was making an awful noise. After looking to see where the noise was coming from I noticed that they didnt bother to put in the bolt for the caliper. After towing it back to the dealer I had to wait another day. Miami Acura is the worst place, I hate them and this freaking car, I only replaced my tranny last month at 16,000 miles.

i bought these rotors and pads too. they have been on for about a month or two and i dunno if it's me who's becoming crazy about my brakes (from several warped rotors replacements) or if it'S real, but i feel like my rotors are beginning to warp (less than 25mph). i feel the car shaking a little bit. but maybe it's just the pads going over the slots?
. everything is fine over 25mph...i hope they arent warping, i paid 435$ for rotors and pads and i dont want to replace everything again... i already had my rotors replaced 4 times because they warped.

btw, just my 2 cents here but since I replaced the stock rotors and pads with Brembo blanks and Hawk Performance Pads (total price wth shipping $208 from tirerack.com) I've had good luck. I've made it so far twice as long as I ever did with the stock setup, which was replaced once by the dealer under warranty. After the 2nd time, I stopped bothering with the dealer. I dont have the time to go drop the car off, they wouldnt give me a loaner for a 'non-critical' repair, and so it wasnt worth the hassle every 12k miles. I haven't changed my driving habits, just the parts, so it had to be the OEM stuff that was the problem.
I am skeptical of that pipe and vent idea. Although the metal forming and welding did come out looking first-rate, especially those two mounting tabs. Incidentally, they make articulated solid metal dryer hose, which would seem a better choice than the junky plastic film stretched over a coiled wire style. Not sure why you didnt use that since the rest of the job was so well thought out...
