OK. I will start by saying THANK-YOU njerald.
I was having vibration from my 2010 Camry SE. Took it to the dealer and of course my front brakes are warped. The dealer told me I had overheated them. But for $$$$ they would turn them (barely worn) sand the pads (because the pads are barely worn). So after I counted to 10 cooled down I asked the service rep. How the heck did I do that to the brakes if the pads are so nice and the disks still have lots of meat (Yes I know you can do it, but not the way I drive.)? He politely said my driving style. I should also note I do not drive in heavy traffic, my work hours are well out side them. I have 48,000 kms on them it started about 30,000 kms and I notified them at the time (about 30,000 miles started about 18600 miles). I drive 98% of the time on the highway it's a manual and I use the gears to slow down.
Being to mad to get into a pissing match with the service rep. I just left and assured him I would be back.
When I got home I did a search on Toyota Nation and guess what popped up?

Called them back and they said oh but that is American. I did mention my car even though being purchased in Canada was built in Kentucky. So I just said never mind just give me the phone number for Toyota Canada. With that he said, no need just bring it in because maybe they could make an exception but they would turn for free but still sand the pads.
I said we will talk about that one!
When I got there, of course a new story. Sorry sir I got the TSB number wrong we will follow that American TSB. I said great because this Canadian one I have in my hand happens to tell you to do just that! In Canada it is 63,000 kms. limit.
Well 4 hours later I went to pick up the car and they had replaced rotors and pads. Seams the rotors where not so great after all and had to be replaced along with the pads.
So Canadians beware of that TSB.
AND AGAIN THANK-YOU NJERALD. As always a very big help.
