I am not sure if this information has been listed here before, but that said, I am posting and I appologize in advance if this topic has been dicussed already. I am assuming the new warranty applies to those who have the Brembo system?

A consumer lawsuit claims a brake defect in the Infiniti G35 has undercut the car's resale value. The lawsuit wants Nissan to reimburse owners of G35 sports sedans and coupes made in 2003 and 2004 for the costs of fixing the defect, which causes brake pads and rotors to wear out faster than normal.

Numerous consumers from around the country have complained to ConsumerAffairs.Com about the problem.

"We own a new G35 and the brakes need to be replaced at 13,000 miles they tell me this is normal. I don't know about you but that is not normal from my 54 years of experience," said Bill of Loveland, Ohio.

"They say it is because the G35 is a high performance vehicle. I've owned high performance vehicles in the past and have never experienced this so soon," said William of Atlanta.

Nissan has conceded the problem exists. It amended its warranty in late 2003 to cover the brake pad and brake rotor replacements for the first three years of 36,000 miles, whichever comes first.

The lawsuit claims the brake problem "significantly increased the expected costs of ownership of a G35 well beyond the warranty amendment" and diminished the car's value.

"Who is going to want to buy a (used G35) when they know they have to replace the pads and rotors every year?" asked plaintiffs lawyer Aashish Desai.

The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles, seeks class action status. A similar action is pending in Florida.

i can def. agree with those people i got an 03 coupe w/ 20k miles and ive had the brakes changed twice

 

Yes this is old news it was discussed when the letter first came out. I have 20k on my car and I still have the original brakes on it, pads and everything.

 

Me too. There seem to be a huge variation between the cars on the longevity of the brakes. I know when I go out of warranty, I will probably get stoptechs.

 

Too bad this does not apply to Canadians.

I had to replace my pads and rotors at just 35k km... and braking at very low speeds still SQUEAK!!!

 

It sucks...especially for people like me, I have 04 coupe and already have 49,000 miles on it.....you could say I'm pissed about it too.

 

This was for the OEM brakes, not the Brembos.
