Damn, that is really bad!!!!
 
I have 05 Sedan and 41,000 i am still running on the original pads and rotors not problem at all just recently changed tires and the guy told me i got about 10,000 left on it, and i am not easy on my G so you guys should have dealer take care of you, that sucks.
 
I heard they had problems with 03 and 04 models, that is why i waited till 05 to buy it. I guess i should feel lucky

It is only the 05x models that have the problem. All 03s, 04s, and 05 G35x's only

Do you know if they have fixed the problem? Do you think that 06 or 07 G35x will have the same issues?

The '06 X's have the larger brakes so there should not be as many problems. The '07's are a complete redesign. Hopefully the brakes were better thought out so as not to have problems. Remains to be seen.
BTW, I have an '05 X with 38K miles. I'm on the original rotors, never resurfaced, but I did change the pads at around 22K miles for PBR Axxis ones to have less dust. The original pads still showed about 5mm of pad left. It was a good change for me. There is virtually no brake dust and the performance is superb for my driving style.

Dealer just replaced my front pads and rotors under the old warranty for 03/04s.
SA said the new pads are better than the new. Well, I don't know what better is. They do stop great. I did 'bed them in' to avoid any glazing, etc. Made a world of difference when I did have to stop quick.
Now about 1000 miles later I notice the same scoring on the rotors I saw on the old ones. Not THAT bad, not yet.
The rears are still almost like knew. He said 6 mils left on the rear pads and recommends check them again in 6 months.
When the rears go bad I will likely just put in new pads myself.
And unless the rotors are bad, just leave them as is.
When the fronts go I will get my own aftermarket rotors and pads. I think the stock are fine up to the point you have to pay for them.

New Brakes and Rotors--how much? by my_g35_sedan

hello,
 
I need to get new brakes and rotars for my G35 2004 Sedan. As most of you know, the brakes on these cars don't last long and Infiniti should be ashamed of itself for not taking more responsibility. Nonetheless, I need to replace them.
 
First question, what is the cost for a a set of four new brakes and rotors from the dealer?
 
Second question, can I get a better price with the same quality from another store such as Sears?
 
Thanks!

Are you sure you need rotors at the rear too?
If you can find a very reputable tire/brake/alignment shop I am sure you could do better cost-wise. They will replace with an OEM or equivalent rotor, and probably give you some choice as to the type of pad you want. You may want to get some quotes against the dealership's.
Personally, not too hot on getting work done at Sears. I guess I am one of those scared off by the big service problem they had some years ago, although I never used them.
Don't know where you live, but if anywhere near the SF Bay Area you can hardly go wrong with Wheel Works. Ask friends, neighbors for referrals. An independent mechanic specializing in Nissan/Infiniti cars, another one.

I'm in the same boat. 2004 Sedan with 50K miles. I recently had my tires replaced and NTB told me I needed to replace front and rear pads and routers. They quoted me $930.81 for parts and labor. That seemed a little bit high. I called them today and they said if I bring in my own parts they would install them, but I have no idea where to begin to look for parts or what would be a good part. Any ideas?
 
Thanks for any input,
 
Pete

For those of you with 2003 and 2004 models, I've read on numerous message boards that, in response to numerous complaints and some lawsuits, Infiniti extended their warranty to include rotors for your model years (unlike us stuck with the 2005 year). Do a websearch for infiniti g35 brake warranty and then call you dealer back; get them replaced for free. Of course, they will be replaced with the same lousy pads and rotors that will wear out too quickly...

This is true and might as well get the freebie as long as you can. The brakes do work very well though.
Fortunately there are less expensive and likely better alternatives the next time around. There are probably not too many 03 or 04s left that have not gone over 36K miles or 3 years, but if there are you should take advantage of it.
