If you are having the odor from your A/C a TSB has just been released it effects vins before
#009784 everything produced after this VIN is fine all they do in the TSB is use a new imporved A/C filter also they issued another TSB yesterday for MIL on which involves chaning the charcoal canster and it effects vins before #014461.

When I had my car in for service last week for a humming noise coming from the front end of the car, my service advisor told me that a tsb has been issued for brake noise, they replaced my pads, and re-surfaced my rotors on my GS which has just passed 12,000 miles in my one year of ownership. Has anyone else had this problem yet?

I hate when they resurface the rotors after such a short period of time. They did that to me on my Infiniti without telling me. I got pissed and made them replace my rotors with new ones. I was lucky that they listened. Once the rotors are cut, the next time you need to replace your pads you will most probably need new rotors. Rotors can usually only be cut once because of them getting to thin for safety reasons. Well at least you got new pads. Good luck and hopefully your pads will last longer next time.

My concern is that brakes burned out before 35k so they replaced the brakes free of charge. I just hope they didnt replace them under the TSB leaving to suck wind when I actually have brake noise.
