2008 G35XS brake judder and Morrey Infiniti
#16
thanks for the advice
There was never a recall in the first place. They were only issued a TSB, not a recall so it was whether the dealer or not who wanted to fix it for you.
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.
