my dad just returned from the nissan dealership, and was askin the service manager abotu the G35, and he was saying that almost all of them are coming in with brake problems, they are all getting pissed off with nissan. this looks good for acura, cause of this problem and the new launch of the TL, watch out infiniti here ACURA comes!

Chaptorial

I got to say i never get any pleasure from hearing about the misforutnes of others. EVERY car is gonna have its problems. I'd take brake problems over a tranny.

darrinb

acura's brakes are just as shitty

thealliance15

no i don't think u get the message, they have to repace all the front rotors and pads at about 20k km

chef chris

Look out Infiniti...why...cause of 1 new car, the TL?

That's hilarious dude...but then again, aren't you the one who said the S2000 sucked?

I got news for you, I've driven a few G35's & the brakes are 100% times better than the Acura's.

All your doing with these retarded statements is asking for a flame up your poo-poo.

Sucks to hear they are having problems .The techs must be freaking out .Warranty brake work barely pays enough to cover the time invested to correct the problem in mnay cases .

reachin a little with your conclusion but it's a free country. people still buy acuras and the tranny problem spanned 3 model years.

darrinb

every cl-s and tl-s is sooner or later gonna get fucked up rotors, mine went out at like 10k

darrinb

true, but alot of people got the car not knowing of any problems till it happened to them or they joined this forum, i knew about the problem before i got the car but it didnt bother me cause i love the car soo much, fuck they could of told me 1 outta every 2 cl-s' blow up and i still would of got it

Some of your comments for our amusement:



So, you think it's funny G35's have brake issues...but you'd rather have a Z over an s2000...and you claim "hurray for Acura"...but would rather buy a Z06 than an NSX...

I think you have not a clue of which you speak grasshopper.

thealliance15

hands down the g35 has better brakes but it is having problems with the brakes. and the TL is acura's real flagship car

thealliance15

if read the first post in that i said i like honda but just not the NSX and S2000, i drive a CL course i love acura.

Chopsie

I think you are incorrect, the RL is the flagship car, if I am not mistaken.

TL_Type_S

I've had my rotors resurfaced TWICE by Acura.. pads replaced once all around .. and now I'm going in to get my rotors replaced for real this time... possibly new pads again.

G35 sux?? whaaa?? I'd rather have a 6-spd G over my TL-S anyday...

Solarian

Not sure if it'll be better than the G, but the new TL r0xx0rz t3h b0xx0rz. Finally a 6 spd stick, 270 hp engine, DVD-A surround system, brembo cross drilled rotors, and it looks like a TSX *passes out on the floor drooling*

nice thread title.


you're still in high school, huh?

I have a 03 G35 sedan, so far the brakes still work fine. Can you make sure the 04 TL is trouble-free? Are all Honda vehicles trouble-free? NO.

gregshin

you are an idiot...nuff said

Legend2Die4

wow. i think g35's are sweet. but like everyone knows... everyones got their share of problems. i got alotta comments about the Cl's tranny issues from other forum members but i still bought one. infiniti will take care of not only their clients, but their reputation. this will pass over much quicker than our little tranny issue.

I see a lot of idiots in your thread. You, your dad and the service advisor. I could put all three of your heads together and you still could not beat a 3 year old in checkers.

As a matter of fact, I just dropped a turd who has a larger mental capacity than you.

Scrib

The issues the Gs are having are on the non-brembo cars... The pads are lasting SOME people 15k miles. And I say some... This isn't an "everyone" type of thing...

Infiniti is saying it's because the pads are super-soft (which they are)... Lots of brake dust!!! The Gs, even the non-brembo ones brake unbelieveably good. One of the best braking cars on the road.

So it's a trade off, in my opinion. Good brakes with lousy wear. But pads are CHEAP compared to what else can go wrong on a braking system; e.g., rotors.

Just my $0.02...

gto2050

Wouldn't the NSX be the flagship? The RL would be the Luxo boat, the TL would be the work boat and the RSX/TSX would be the tenders?

gto2050

I had an Acura CL-S and now I have an Infiniti G35 and I wonder where the f&*k you are coming from? What kind of person thrills at someone else's problems? As with any new car and since the wide spread usage of CAD/CAM, tolerances have been really reduced. When engineers built cars they bult them within enough reserve strength to withstand a lot more than today just to be sure. With CAD/CAM, the designers and engineers put in just enough to last. It's a known item that the brakes on the CL were marginal and it's no different on any other car. The G35 falls into that category too. Mine has the Brembo brake package and lemme tell you it will stop on a dime and give you $.09 change.

Forums, especially this one, were formed with the idea of informing others about experiences with similar cars. We have all helped each other out time and time again. I have contributed and have probably taken away more from this forum than any other. The CL community is a brotherhood. Don't be an idiot and pollute it with insane idiotic ideas.

yeah they're car companies not teams. the whole acura vs. nissan rivalry thing is gay.

spdy0001

I don't like nissan because my parents had a 1992 sentra with auto belts that were defective after the car was 6 months old. This was a serious safty issue, but after going the whole way to the top of nissan we still only got the same response which was basiclly that they are a large corporation and don't car about one persons problems. After the way we were treated by them I swore I would never buy a new nissan product.

F23A4

It's pretty weak to laugh a people who dished out 35-large on a car that may have a subsequent brake problems. As for the Nissan Service advisor, the know less about Nissan's than Honda Service advisors!! (Pathetic)

With Nissan brakes, my front rotors needed to be fixed when I first got the car but hasnt been a problem since.

mantis23

i had mine replaced @ 22K mi

shaHn78

U'd think this would be common sense but... :o

And why ask a Nissan dealership about Infinity issues?? I doubt the Nissan guys really know whats going on and are probably going by word of mouth from couple of ppl.


thealliance15: i think ur credibility is currently at an all time high at 0.03%

DivinDude

I personally don't think complaining about Infiniti's brakes is appropriate when our own brakes are absolutely horrible!! Even the magazines note that Acura's brakes aren't up to par (I remember reading that comment on the new TSX). I'm sure that Nissian is having their own issues with their line of cars .. it's nature of the game. Honda certainly is going the wrong way on their quality (Dick Colliver even was quoted saying that in a USAToday article).

It's unfortunate that we forked out a large chunck of change on 'perceived' quality and are having problems with the most basic elements of a vehicle which should be caught in most basic testing and quality control.

I personally am done with Acura .. between the horrible handling of the tranny problem ... the garbage paint job ... the denial attitude when I report a problem .. the falling quality .. and the new TL-TSX twins that have little distinction .. I see Acura doing many of the same things Pontiac did in the 80-90's (even the red dash lights on the RSX)

CLpower

so, they are just as shitty as acura's

vinarnold

i was so close to buying a g35 before i heard about the 2004 tl. so i put a deposit on the tl. thank god the more isee the g35, the more i dislike it.

H@mmerm@n

Yeah, my brakes suck.

synth19

what the fck is this thread about? did you have a "hahahah acura" post 3 years ago? How many people here replaced their rotors/pads/or resurfaced their rotors?

synth19

my brakes suck too:

1killercls

that's a sweet car.

heyitsme

So basically the service manager told your father that the high performance brake pads on the g35 require more frequent maintainance due to their softer nature? dumbass. unfortuantely bmw has this "problem" also with their "quality" brakes, its what sets these companies braking distances ahead of other companies. thin you're mistaking long lasting with quality.

Alliance is rather a douche.
