#1 of 10 Brakes by gddlulu Nov 28, 2007 (9:28 pm)
The last year or so , have had problem front end brakes where they make a weird noise when they are applied. had car back to dealership and a top notch mechanic who has replaced pads and hardware kit and rotors turned. It's a creaking sound when you apply the the brakes at slow speeds. But theres no damage to the rotors or pads. Any ideas?

Replying to: gddlulu (Nov 28, 2007 9:28 pm) I have exact same issue with my I-35. I took it back to mechanic who installed new brake pads couple of times. He keeps telling me that rotor has dust in there. But even after cleaning it squicky noise comes back. Any suggestions?

Replying to: frisco_i35 (Dec 14, 2007 9:04 am) Thanks, my sounds more like a creaking noise , like the clips holding the pads in are moving making that strange sound. I should record the sound next time. Is there any small springs around that area? Thanks Replies to this message: atma97 (Apr 12, 2008 11:24 am) 02infinitii35 (Apr 15, 2008 5:03 pm)
#5 of 10 I35 Brake Pedal by jjwehrf Jan 17, 2008 (7:50 pm)
Occasionally, when I apply the brakes my foot hits the gas pedal at the same time. This causes acceleration/deceleration at the same time, a dangerous situation.   When I realize what's happening I don't know how to react. I want to slow down but am reluctant to take my foot off the brake. And I can't relocate my foot more squarely on the brake without releasing brake pressure.   Has anyone ever experienced this problem with the I35? I've driven many cars over 35 years and never experienced this befotre.   Jim

The embarassing schreech noise of my car brake on nice sunny days has gone. Love the new slot & drill dics. My wife also got them installed on her Volvo S60 since last summer and is very happy with them. Check them out. Replies to this message: 02infinitii35 (Apr 15, 2008 5:03 pm)

Replying to: atma97 (Apr 12, 2008 11:24 am) okay, new discs fixed the issue (discs with holes) - performance ones I'm assuming. anyone else...a cheaper solution first, however I will do the same if I have to.   I have the problem too, new pads.....well 5 months now but since the new pads.. First I thought it was because they where new and it would quit. Guess again, still makes the noise as low speeds when cruising through into the neighborhood and sometime when slowing down from highway speeds into the 30's.... 5 month old now..   I had heard about brake pads glazing over but that happens when you slam on the breaks with new pads right? before they're broken in? Anyway because hearing this I took it very easy for the first couple weeks - easing into stops... avoiding quick stops. Unless the mechanic at the shop was going NASCAR style around town to test the pads he put on my car.... But still if they where glazed over you would think that over time the pad would wear down and surpass the glazed surface.   Anyway, I was hopping someone has found a brake cleaner/pad cleaner/dust remover - something
#8 of 10 Stuttering Brakes by cypheractive Jun 02, 2008 (7:50 am)
What does it mean when braking isn't smooth, but rather "stutters"? (In all conditions -- not the anti-lock brakes).   I had the rear brakes done within the last year and the fronts are at around 50% left. Plus, new front tires put on recently. Thanks!   Jeffrey Replies to this message: jrstewart2 (Jun 02, 2008 2:05 pm)

Replying to: cypheractive (Jun 02, 2008 7:50 am) Hello, I am a new guy to this forum. 2002 I35 gold, 96K miles. I live in the bay area, CA. Studder, or bumpy or shimmy...Studumpyimmy LOL. I have this problem. Mechanic at Big-O said I have warped rotor. OK...I will see. I will first go out and shop for least expensive performance rotors first. I like the way performance rotors look with the red caliper housings. Does anyone here think that our stock brakes are undersized?

Already had the same problem. Nissan rotors can only be turned so much before they warp. You have to replace the rotors.
