| Constant repair and replacement of brake rotors. the rotors have to be resurfaced every 8 to 10,000 miles and then replaced. i have my car serviced regularly with the same garage and can't understand why these rotors continue to wear. i have a 1993 nissan max that has never needed rotor repair. also, the srs and side airbag lights come on, i take it to the dealer and they clear the lights saying nothing is wrong. how are you to know if this is a serious issue when all they do is clear the lights??? *tr | |||
