Strange Problem

XSURF · 01-08-2007, 10:13 PM

I own a 2005 X-Trail with 33000 KMs. A month ago, it started making a strange sound coming from the front end while I drive on the highway. It doesn't last very long. Nissan couldn't determine the problem because it is sporadic.

Last week I noticed that the front driver's side rim gets hot after driving the car on the highway. If it's driven in the city, the same rim gets warm. All other rims remain cold. The driver's side rotor is discolored (redish) and the others are fine. I took it to Nissan again and was told I need new rotors and break pads. The technician said the calipers are fine. I have never had to replace rotors (or even break pads) this soon. Does anyone have any idea what would cause this pre-mature ware? Will replacing the rotors and break pads fix the problem with the driver's side rotor heating?

Thanks in advance for any ideas.
