Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I took in the car for an oil change and service for recalls and the service dept. notified me that the front brake pads on both sides were almost completely worn out and the rotors would need resurfacing. i purchased the car from the same dealer in april 2002 and the car was built in march 2002. the car presently has 17.5k miles on it. it is ridiculous, even with performance brakes, for them to fail at such a low mileage. my previous car that i traded in to this dealer was a 1998 320 hp pontiac t/a with an even greater weight and power than this car, and the brakes lasted 40k miles. i believe the brakes infiniti uses in the g35 should be replaced for free for the duration of the warranty since this is unacceptable. also, make sure your dealer puts something in writing that they will replace the rotors once they are serviced beyond repair. don't let the infiniti service dept. fool you into thinking the pads should only last 10-20 miles because they are performance brakes. complain enough and they may issue a recall. *ph
