Took my infiniti g35 to dealer for oil change at 15,000 miles and was told my brakes needed replacing with only 10% remaining. Dealer acknowledged premature brake failure is a chronic problem for g35's. My wife and I are not hard drivers and typically drive 40,000 miles between brake jobs. I would not have purchased this vehicle if I had known I would have to replace the brakes every year. Infiniti should share the cost with g35 owners for an obvious design flaw.
