Description of the problem | I first replaced the front brakes and rotors (which were warped) on my 2003 infiniti g35 coupe at 14,000 miles after they had been squealing since approximately 5,000 miles. Before the replacement i had to add brake fluid, which should not occur on a new car. At 17,000 miles i have just replaced my rear brakes. Infiniti obviously is aware of this problem because all brake repairs are free until 36,000 miles. But what about after that and why are they repairing one defective part with another defective part? I am truly concerned about this issue and the safety of my vehicle and its stopping capabilities. I know other owners have the same problems with the brakes and i feel something must be done about this before a catastrophe occurs. *la |
