Description of the problem | I have had my fx 35 for 6 years now and for the most part have been pleased with it. Except, when it comes to the braking system. Based on the research i done, i am not the only one with the same complaint. The brakes produce a piercing squeal at slow speeds when they are lightly applied. I've spent close to $1,000 in an attempt to resolve the issue without success. I've had both the front and rear pads and rotors replaced with factory-brand parts and the issue still exists. When i ask the dealer about the problem they say "it happens to all of them" and that "there's nothing they can do". How can this not be considered a manufacturing defect and be subject to a recall? This is precisely why i chose to spend my $50,000 for my latest car purchase at a mercedes-benz dealer! After spending over $40,000 on a "luxury" brand automobile, i expected more... A lot more. Infiniti please do something about this! |
