Ok I have two issues. In the morning when it is cold (around 32 degress) my brakes have a lot of pressure in them and I have to almost stand on them to work. After about drive about 10 mins it backs to noramlly. Any suggestions? Anyone else having this problem is it normal? And I let the car warm up and it still doesnt make a difference.

Flush your brake fluid, especially if you're over 50k. You might have water in your lines.

Also consider that the brakes require suitable tires to stop............tires must be warmed to their operational range. Often takes 10 mintutes at speed.

Big problem with SUMMER ONLY TIRES, lesser with All season unless you get below 32F.

Aftermarket brake pads can range from decent but poorer than OEM to WORTHLESS in cold weather until they too warm up to 100-200F.

I have this problem too. Took it to the dealer and they couldnt find anything at all wrong. They said they checked my fluid and it was fine. I hav a 2003 G35 and 104,000 miles on it. I am getting frustrated. Maybe I need to get the fluid flushed anyways?
