Front Rotors Resurfaced Under Warranty
I have about 37,500 miles on my 05 TL. Back when I had my 30,000 mile maintenance done, a dealer rep drove my car to try to reproduce a noise I was complaining about. Of course they couldn't, however, they did mention pulsation in the front brakes. I felt this as well, but it wasn't major. At any rate, when I was recently in the dealership for an oil change, I mentioned that my father's Toyota Avalan had a warped rotor, and the dealership covered it. After some discussion and a review of my maintenance records, the dealership agreed to resurface the rotors under goodwill from Acura for customer satisfaction with the Acura product. All I paid for was new front pads. My point is, always ask, you'd be surprise what they could agree to.
Next thing however, what does everyone think about flushing the brake fluid, apparently mine had moisture in it back when the 30,000 maintenance was done. This could result in corrosion over time of brake components. Is it worth $100 as preventative maintenance if I plan on having the car for 6+ years?

Brake fluid flush- while the book calls for the first time at 3 years-
its really a good idea to do every year and keep doing it every year
Brake fluid sucks moisture from the air- and makes bad things happen in brake system
Its an easy DIY and only takes 30 minutes at a shop so dont let them bs you
1 qt can of snthetic fluid is less than 6 bucks
