Man, what is it with Nissan and their brake issues???!!! I had an 04 Titan that Nissan had to buy back in March because of the "Brake Judder" issue. I also had a similar issue on my 02 Maxima.Needless to say, I was paranoid about the brakes on my G so I went with a used '04 just for the Brembo's and recently replaced the rotors with Brembo's as well as replacing pads with Hawk's, not to mention the OEM Brembo rotors are like 375 a piece. PLEASE get it right Nissan!

Considering it

I am considering registering. I was recently informed that I would have to replace my brake rotors for a second time since I have owned the vehicle. After complaining to corporate headquarters I was reimbursed for the first instance, shortly after that they publicly announced the problem and instilled a <36K mile brake maintenance warranty. I just can't believe it is already time to replace them again. Not Happy.

RE: Old News

Easy for you to say G35_TX, chilling with your 2005. If this is old news, do you have anything to add for those of us who it is not such old news to. Much appreciated.

Search Results

I am not trying to fuel your fire, but only two threads show up when I run Search Forum for "Nissan Class Action Lawsuit," mine and "280HP = 266HP under new SAE?"

This is rediculous. People buy sports sedans due to its high performance capabilities but aren't willing to pay for it You wanna stop like an M3, you gotta pay for it. You know how much the brembo rotor replacement is...just ask the forum members or search and they'll tell you its like a couple grand. Infiniti gave us a freakin warranty and people still complain. I say after 36k, a rotor replacement on your own dime isn't too much and if you don't want to replace the fast wearing rotor, there are PLENTY of better aftermarket options available.

Very good point. The rotor/pad upgrade, and yes I consider it an upgrade from OEM...was less than 850.00, I expected the brake thing just from past issues. The G as with any sports mided car is expensive, it's just part of the game. You have to deal with the give and take when it comes to performance regardless of make period.

EZZ, I respect your opinion, thank you. I personally feel that it is rediculous to have to replace your brake rotors twice with less than 60K miles on this vehicle, to me, that is not an acceptable maintenance cost for a $35K automobile. I sure can think of a million other places where a $600 maintenance cost would be better spent.

The brakes were changed for the '05, they don't dust at all, they are not grabby at all, not sure what changed on the X for '05, since the rotors were the same size as the '04, but it appears the brakes on the X are the same as the other '05's for the '06 model year.
