Interesting Dealer Reply on Brakes by kenndallas

I took my 04 G35 Coupe in for an oil change and they give me this same old S&D, second verse, that my brakes are almost in need of replacement AGAIN. They were replaced at 18K, these lasted 20K. So I emailed the SM and said it was interesting that they didn't check my brakes at 33K, while I was in warranty, but now that I am out of the brake warranty, they check them. The reply was that Infiniti doesn't want them to "look" for warranted items. But then of course when the warranty is up, they look all they want.
 
I think INFINITI has a ways to go if they want to play in the same league with Acura and Lexus.

Our G35x had its front brakes and rotors replaced at 9000 mi. The Dealer fixed the brakes with a 'new design'. Now at 18000 miles the front are half worn out.
 
Thanks Infiniti.

i bought my 2003 G35 few months ago with 43000 miles- 2000 miles before warranty expired. i took it to the dealer before purchase for a checkup especially because brakes did not feel right. they told me that nothing was wrong.
ofcourse, 5 months later, the "slip" light comes on and i called the dealer today. he tells me that the brakes probably need replacment. ofcourse, the car warranty ran out at 45000 miles........

Since when are brakes included under the warranty?
Aren't they considered a wear item?
Is this special warranty coverage to compensate for the G35x brake issues of the past?
If so, I call BS.
 
Do you have a slip showing you went in a few months ago?

Off topic a little - Anyone have any experience with Burtman Industries brake products? They have a cadmium coated set of rotors and brake pads that are ceramic for under $700.

Odd brake symptom by rollbar

I have a 2006 G35 Coupe with about 12500 miles on the odo.
  
Car is developing a new brake symptom. When I release the brakes, as at a traffic light, they grunt as they let go. Don't know how else to describe it. It's as if the calipers stick a bit when the rotors start to turn and then let go.
  
No other sounds or symptoms. No grinding, pulling, pulsing, squeaking, or spongy pedal.
  
Roll
  
The grunting is annoying though.

If it is a sticking caliper, it could be the caliper, and it could be something more critical, like a kink in a brake line.
 
Options would be having someone look at it, or doing it yourself.
Certainly doesn't sound normal though.

I realized for the first time I guess... it only does this when the calipers are wet. ie in the rain.

Brake issues with 2006/2007 G35 by drvic1

Has anyone owning a 2007 G5 experienced brake problems like in earlier years? I'm considering purchasing a 2007 and am concerned about all of these postings on brake problems.

Those brake issues were resolved in 06 and have been completely upgraded and redesigned for the 07 model.
The brakes in my 07 seem completely solid and stop on a dime.
I'm also seeing very little brake dust on my wheels.
 
I had the same concerns when I started considering the G.
 
After much research, I jumped on board and this has been the best car I have ever owned.
 
A complete joy to drive!
