What's the deal? Does anyone else have the problem? I haven't even driven it in winter snow and salt yet!

Would have figured Infiniti would have designed this better.. so noticeable, it's embarrassing..

All iron rotors rust ... even humidity in the air can cause this.

This is completely normal, unless you get plated (with Zinc for example) rotors.
