07 G35S daily driven in stop and go traffic. I developed loud brake squealing when slowing down since I hit 3000 miles. Dealer couldn't find anything wrong with brakes. As per a suggestion in the Tech section, shooting the brakes with a water hose causes the squeal to go away for about 5 days. Will have them look at it again when I bring it in for 7500 mile service soon.

Any update on this? Mine make a horrible squeal that I can hear when going through a parking garage. This is without my foot on the pedal.

They changed the brakes on the '05, except for the X, then they changed the x in '06. I had 22k on my '05, and the brakes and rotors still looked like new, the pads were still almost 10 mm. So, yes, Infiniti has fixed that quirk. And yes, the brakes on the S are larger!

I had a squeak in the brakes on my '05, the pads tend to build up a glaze in light braking, nothing to worry about, as I said the brakes on my '05 still looked and felt good. That makes sense in stop and go. For some unknown reason, I like your color choice!

brakes work well and feel good, but they squeal like a pig with only 6000 miles on them.

If they squeal like a pig, I really doubt they're that loud, you need to have them checked, probably need the pads sanded.

If your brakes squeal when you are off the pedal, it is most likely the wear indicator. you may need new pads.

I have 8,870 miles on my g35x and i do not have any problems with my breaks. Summer time i run 20's and winters i put my stock wheels back on. My car stops very well. There is no noise. I don't know why you have that issue, maybe you are located in dusty area.

Please do spell check before posting.

Mine squeak... Dealer checked them and said they were fine... Still squeak.. I've tried cleaning the dust, braking hard, etc... Nothing works. I have a Sport version....

Dealer said there was nothing they could do.

No problems with mine - still stop aggressively, good pad life so far and minimal dust. They do squeal slightly under light pressure, but it goes away as pressure is added - doesn't get loud, and doesn't bother me.

The majority of problems with the Gs have been the early 03-04 cars due to calipers being too small for the car. 05 and newer cars have been free of the tremendous dust and excessive squealing. If owners are still annoyed by either, ceramics will usually cure both symptoms as well as adding to overall brake life. If your car doesn't exhibit extreme issues, leave well enough alone.

when i first bought the car, the brakes did squeak and make a lot of noise...after my first car service at 3500 miles, they quit and have never made a squeak since. brake dust was a real problem at first but now i wash my car and the wheels barely have any brake dust on them...

not true, as most of these guys have new or almost new cars. new brake pads squeal a little before they get broken in.

Yep, my '05 had a squeak from time to time, and it was due to glaze on the pads, the pads at 22k were still almost like new!
