| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 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 |
