2004 Infiniti G35

I LEASED A 2004 INFINITI G-35 COUPE AND AFTER APPROXIMATELY 36,000 MILES, THE CAR STARTED SMELLING HOT AND WOULD VIOLENTLY VIBRATE WHEN DRIVING. THE CLOSEST INFINITI DEALER IS APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES AWAY SO I TOOK THE CAR TO GOODYEAR AND THEY INSTALLED NEW BRAKE PADS ON THE FRONT TIRES. LESS THAN 30 DAYS LATER, THE PROBLEMS STILL PERSISTED AND I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO GOODYEAR AND THEY INSTALLED NEW ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS ON THE REAR WHEELS. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEMS AND 30 DAYS LATER, I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO GOODYEAR AND BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR BRAKE PADS WERE TOTALLY WORN DOWN. THEY SAID I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM, POSSIBLY THE CALIPERS, AND SUGGESTED I TAKE THE CAR TO THE INFINITI DEALER. I TOOK THE CAR TO CREST INFINITI IN PLANO, TEXAS AND THEY SAID THE BRAKE FLUID HAD BEEN CONTAMINATED. THEY SENT A SAMPLE TO A TESTING LAB BUT NO TEST WAS DONE BECAUSE THE ALLEGED CONTAMINANT WAS SO SMALL IT COULD NOT BE MEASURED. CREST INFINITY REFUSED TO REPAIR THE BRAKES UNDER WARRANTY. I IMMEDIATELY TOO THE CAR TO GRUBBS INFINITI IN EULESS, TEXAS AND THEY ALSO DECIDED TO TEST THE BRAKE FLUID. AFTER THREE WEEKS THE TEST REVEALED NO CONTAMINATE IN THE BRAKE FLUID BUT GRUBBS SAID THAT SINCE THE BRAKES HAD BEEN WORKED ON BY GOODYEAR, THE WARRANTY WAS VOIDED. I HAVE CHECKED THE INTERNET AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT BRAKES ON THE INFINITI G-35. CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT'S HAVE BEEN FILED IN BOTH CALIFORNIA AND FLORIDA. I FOUND MANY POSTINGS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS THAT I AM EXPERIENCING. INFINITI REFUSES TO ADMIT THAT A PROBLEM EXISTS AND REFUSES TO REPAIR VEHICLES, INCLUDING MINE, UNDER WARRANTY. THE PROBLEM HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BRAKE PADS. THERE IS A PROBLEM IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM THAT CAUSES THE BRAKES TO BE APPLIED WHEN DRIVING THE CAR RESULTING IN EXCESSIVE HEAT AND EXCESSIVE WEAR. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND INFINITI IS DUCKING THE ISSUE AND REFUSING TO ISSUE A RECALL TO REPAIR THIS SERIOUS DEFECT UNDER WARRANTY. *NM

MY 2004 G35X SEDAN HAS 28K MILES ON IT AND I'M ON MY 3RD SET OF BRAKES. (90% OF MY DRIVING IS HIGHWAY WITH LITTLE BRAKING). THE DEALER ADVISED ME INFINITY KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 36K MILES AND THAT'S ALL THEY WOULD DO. AFTER JUST 100 MILES OF DRIVING WITH NEW PADS THE WHEELS ARE BLACKENED WITH BRAKE DUST. MY LAST SET OF FRONT PADS LASTED ONLY 10K MILES. *JB

ONGOING REPAIR ISSUES WITH INFINITY QX56 REGARDING NUMEROUS ISSUES, PRIMARILY BRAKES. UNSAFE VEHICLE, WANT TO GET RID OF IT. OVER 30 DAYS OF VISITS TO INFINITY TO TRY TO RECONCILE ALL ISSUES, SOME OF WHICH ARE STILL PENDING. AFTER REPAIRS TO BRAKES, WE WERE TOLD THAT WHEN MANUFACTURER SENT LETTER REGARDING NEED FOR BRAKES TO BE REPAIRED, THEY KNEW THAT THIS WOULD NOT IN FACT REPAIR THE PROBLEM. *JB

I OWN A 2004 INFINITI G35 COUPE 6MT WITH A PROBLEM WITH A FRONT WHEEL ROTOR. ONE OF THE EIGHT ROTOR SURFACES IS NOT WITH-IN SPEC AS WITH THE OTHER SEVEN SURFACES, AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AS PER INFINITI TECHS.I HAVE THE MODEL THAT UTILIZES BREMBO BRAKES AND THE TECH AND INFINITI USA SAID THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE NON-BREMBO BRAKES AND THAT THE REPAIR WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY SINCE IT WAS A WEAR AND TEAR SITUATION.AS I MENTIONED BEFORE. ALL BUT ONE ROTOR SURFACE, AND ALL BRAKE PADS WERE UP TO SPEC. MY QUESTION IS THIS. IS THERE ANY ADDENDUM TO INCLUDE THE BREMBO BRAKE SYSTEM TO THE RECALL AND IF NOT IS THERE ANYTHING YOU COULD SUGGEST THAT I COULD DO? THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *AK SINCERELY, DR. LESLIE KLEIN
