Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I own a 2001 infiniti i30. i have a recurrent problem with the brakes on this car. the car shakes so much when i'm braking driving at around 65 mph. it makes me very nervous because i have a two-year-old child in the back seat. i have taken it back to the dealer three times. the first time was when the car was only about a couple years old. the first two times, they fixed the problem with the rotor and the brakes for me without charge. the service person agreed that this is a recurring problem with this model. the third time i took my car back, they refused to fix it without charging me. and the new service personnel that was there denied that there is anything wrong with the braking/rotor system of this model. i have researched a little bit more, and have found that other car owners have also had similar problems with this model. i'm not sure what to do at this point to get this problem fixed. if i have to pay to fix the rotor/brakes problem every year, then that would be very expensive. i have owned other cars before, and i never have so much problems with the brakes so often, especially in a relatively new car. *jb
