Well this is my first issue I have had with this car. I am hoping its just a brake problem or something simple. I have a video below of the sound its making. It happens when I start slowing down or speed up a little.

Thanks guys!

Sounds like she's telling you that she needs new pads which usually means new rotors as well.

Time for new pads? Maybe you got debris stuck between the caliper and pad? Packed brake dust in the brake pad cooling valley? Loose brake pad shim? It could be so many things. My guess is it's time for new pads and it's nothing serious.

Should you need new rotors, I picked up some aftermarket Brembos (not the big brake kit). They are direct replacements and are 1/2 the cost of the dealer price. I used Infiniti pads so to me they brake feel is the same as before. Dealer wanted $600 for new pads and rotors. I was able to get the Brembos and new Infiniti pads for $280.

Best bang for the buck that also adds looks is the Racing Brake oem caliper 13" rotor kit.

I might be selling my 13" 4-pot fronts and 13" oem rear kit soon. I have a thread over in the marketplace about it.

Is it safe to assume you're out of warranty? What about the issues with the poor brakes on the 03-04 sedans, and wouldn't the dealer replace them as some have stated in the past?
