  I switched to ceramic pads from NAPA at about 300 miles as the stock pads creating black dust drove me crazy. It's been 49K miles since installing those ceramics and they still look like new. I have never had any warping of the rotors nor vibrations while braking. Nissan should've installed ceramic pads from the start. Would've solved all their warping problems. 2005 Titan Crewcab.

The dealer should at least kick in $3000 off. Also, since it's near month end, try dealing with the fleet manager. He's more flexible than the sales manager. Good luck!
