I had my pads replaced under TSB 04011 listed here
http://www.nissanhelp.com/Bulletins/Murano/2003/1.htm
I only have about 8K on them so no comment other than they solved my SQUEEEAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL! problem.
It took two trips (naturally) but it made me very happy!
I was so angry................
And a lot of it was directed at some numb nums here who said that all disc brakes did that. Grrrrrrr. Rookies.
Brakes are like tires.
It's good to get good mileage, but it's better not to get tooooooo good.
40,000 miles sounds good to me.
BTW, most brake men don't "turn" rotors anymore.
Certainly not for concentric scratches, gouges, etc.
Now "warped" rotors are a different matter.
And if you can get to them before they are too badly warped.....
One of the problems is, that the more material you remove, the easier it is for the rotors to warp...............
Rotors warp for two main reasons.....
Heat. Tow vehicles in the mountains often have this problem.
Or race cars.
and Wheels mounted using airguns by a dufus who doesn't know how to use a torque stick (Or best of all a hand operated torque wrench) and doesn't know the recomended pattern.
Of course some vehicles are more prone to the problem than others and I get the impression that our Muranos fall in that category.
Because of that, I am right there to make sure my wheels are mounted correctly.
