To the date the mileage on the care is 45,801 miles. I don&#8217;t drive the car often as I have another car that is my primary car. About two weeks ago I noticed that my tire pressure, traction and brake lights started coming on each time I drove it. That prompted me to reach out to my warranty company because I&#8217;m thinking this is something electrical. Needless to say they refer me to a dealer to have the car inspected and I do just that.<\/p>\n<!-- GOOGLE in article ads!! -->\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script> <ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block; text-align: center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5950293074584657\" data-ad-slot=\"3814845838\"><\/ins> <script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<h4>The Dealerships Response<\/h4>\n<p>The findings were that the issue wasn&#8217;t mechanical but instead that my rear <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freeautomechanic.com\/brakes.html\">brakes<\/a> were so worn down that they were beginning to cut into my rotors. They also said that my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freeautomechanic.com\/serpentine-belt-routing-diagrams.html\">drive belt<\/a> was severely worn. Per the advisor at the dealership these are issues that happen around the 25,000 mile mark and I haven&#8217;t even made it to 10,000. I am instantly upset because based on this information it sounds as though these were issues that were overlooked by the dealership that sold me my car.<\/p>\n<h4>The Question<\/h4>\n<p>My question is from a professional standpoint is it possible to wear down rear brakes and rotors and a drive belt in 9 months only haven driven the car 6,347 miles or are these pre-existing issues? I am very clear that the car is used and there can be general wear and tear but of this magnitude in this period of time? I was also informed by three different reps at the purchasing dealership that my brakes and rotors were flagged on the inspection report.<\/p>\n<hr \/><hr \/>\n<p>A used component is not going to last as long as a NEW component.\u00a0 If the vehicles brakes were NEW and the belt was NEW to begin with I could see the issue. However this is more of a &#8220;what is covered under the warranty&#8221; issue. I&#8217;m guessing if the dealership would like to continue your business relationship they may offer to wave the labor cost of the repair but I can not speak on their behalf.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I purchased a used 2015 Infiniti Q40 in November 22, 2018 with 39, 454 miles.
