2008 INFINITI G35 SEDAN, BOUGHT NEW FROM DEALER JULY 2008, HAD WARPED BRAKE ROTORS ABOUT A YEAR AGO, TOOK TO DEALER, THEY REPLACED A PART THAT HAD A RECALL OR HAD A WARRANTY ON, THAT THEY SAID HAD MORE AIR SPACES IN IT TO ALLOW THE METAL TO COOL BETTER, AND GROUND DOWN THE ROTORS. I HAVE WARPED ROTORS AGAIN AT ONLY 46,000 MILES. I BELIEVE THE METAL IN THE STOCK ROTORS IS FAULTY OR BAD ENGINEERING DESIGN. PLEASE INSPECT. I SHOULD NOT HAVE WARPED ROTORS FOR A SECOND TIME AT ONLY 46,000 MILES AND I USE MY TRANSMISSION A LOT TO SLOW DOWN RATHER THAN THE BRAKES AFTER THE FIRST WARPING OCCURRED. I SEE ANOTHER COMPLAINT ON THIS SITE BY A DIFFERENT OWNER OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL CAR WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT OF WARPED ROTORS AT LOW MILEAGE. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2008 INFINITI G35 SEDAN. IT IS THE JOURNEY PACKAGE WITH THE OPTIONAL 18-INCH WHEELS. MY ROTORS ARE NOT SAFE. I ONLY HAVE 28,000 MILES ON MY CAR AND MY ROTORS HAVE ALREADY WARPED. I HAVE READ ON MANY FORUMS THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH INFINITI G35S AND I BELIEVE THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS. I AM PAYING A PREMIUM FOR THIS CAR AND SHOULD NOT HAVE ROTORS WARPING ON ME BEFORE THE WARRANTY IS UP. ALSO, INFINITI DOES NOT COVER THE CHARGES WITH WARPING ROTORS. THIS IS PUTTING GREAT STRESS ON ME BECAUSE I HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT COULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED FOR FREE. *TR
