EX35 Brakes shaking

Discussion of Infiniti's amazing (and underrated) sport-luxury crossovers, the EX35 and EX37. For 2014, the EX series will be renamed QX50, in line with Ininfiit's new naming conventions.

OK, my 1st issue with the car. Only 15k miles and my car shakes when I hit the brakes. Seems like the front left wheel.

Has anyone else had this happen at such low mileage? If so, was it a simple replacement of the brake pads or pads and rotors?

Thanks in advance.-Jim

I had the same issue right after picking up my car. But in my case it was at higher speeds on the highway when I applied the brakes. It turned out to be warped rotors, and it was taken care of by the dealer.

Welcome to NICO, PlayPen!!

The most common reason for this symptom is warped rotors. With only 15K miles (unless the car was driven VERY hard), the most likely cause is over-torque on the lug nuts while mounting a wheel.
