| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: At 9.5k service (3rd), car had slight pulsing in the brakes. dealer confirmed warped rotors and machined. estimated remaining pad life only about 50%. car and brakes have been well maintained in mainly city driving. this is the fastest wear i have seen on any car i have owned in 35 years including numerous performance cars. dealer acknowledges many complaints for premature brake wear. this has also been a reccuring topic on infiniti web forums. dealer indicated infiniti used to cover this as warranty but is now balking at replacement under the guise these are "high performance" brakes and normal wear and tear. with the potential for ultra short brake life, some consumers may not believe the brake wear indicator squeal and not get the brakes checked in time to prevent failure. this could turn into a long term safety issue. this also maybe due to an unrecognized interaction with the stability control, electronic brake assistance and traction control leading to higher brake stresses and short life. this should be looked at for a techical service bulletin and watched as a long term safety issue as the cars age. |
