As for your problem, it's very common to have the brake judder in these cars (myself included.) What I did is after the brake pads were gone, I just put on Centric Premium Rotors and Hawk Ceramic Performance pads and the judder was gone...it never came back, so maybe you're better off spending around $500 to replace the rotors and pads (labor included.) If you can spend $50k on a car, and you've had it for 4 years already, it's okay to spend $500 to replace rotors/brake pads. Your car is probably due for a brake service change anyways. This leads me to believe that it was actually Infiniti/Nissan putting crappy rotors on the cars in the first place. Don't buy these rotors at the dealer, since they probably charge almost $200 per rotor when you can get better ones for far less.

Usually, brake pads wear out around 30k miles in these cars on average. The previous owner before me wore the rear pads out at 15k miles. Also, warranty does not cover "wear and tear" items, such as brakes, so you're out of luck.
If you read my post properly you would have seen that the judder occurred in the first year of driving. And thank you for okaying the $500 brake/rotor job (which I have since done), but it is not the money it is the principle and, unfortunately, I am doomed to continue my quixotic mission to right all wrongs.
