I have a Nissan Maxima 2000 with 65000 miles on it. Never changed the
rotors and never been cut. My mechanic says that I need to change all 4.
Is that normal or ...

thank you

It could be that they need to be replaced.  Nissan has thin rotors from
the factory.  Get a micrometer and check the thickness yourself and see
if they have enough material left to turn them.  Now if they have
heat/stress cracks you would have to replace them anyway.

you need to find another "mechanic" as you call him

I'd ask him why they need to be changed

and have him prove every reason they need replacing

amazing.... and people thing the dealerships rip them off.

I honestly can't remember needing to replace the rotors on  2k max so far.

I'd agree with this in general terms, but I think 65K out of OEM '00
rotors is damn near a miracle. Most I've seen warped around 25-30K. The
rotors and trans solenoid problems were the two achilles heals of the '00.

Newbie to the group...

I have a 2000 SE with 65,000 miles - could you elaborate on the trans
solenoid problem?  Is this the TSB regarding the A/T slipping?  Mine has yet
to exhibit any of the syptoms...yet.  What has Nissan's course of action
been regarding this issue?

TIA,

Brad in Atlanta

Yes, there is a TSB. Get going 20 or 25 and stand on it, if it
downshifts and accelerates smoothly (without hesitation or slipping),
you're all set. Do change the fluid though. If you haven't already.

I have 72K on our 2000Max and still the same rotors. What is
this trans solenoid problem???? I have replaced the coils
tho.
